''Done By the Forces of Nature'' is the second Alternative Hip Hop album by the Jungle Brothers , released in November of 1989 (see 1989 In Music ) on Warner Brothers Records . Though the Jungle Brothers have not been remembered as well as chronologically similar alternative groups like De La Soul and Queen Latifah , ''Done By the Forces of Nature'' was extremely influential in its time, and critically acclaimed for its subtle, low-fidelity sound and uplifting Afrocentric rhymes. Due to its relative lack of fame (compared to '' 3 Feet High And Rising '', for example), ''Done By the Forces of Nature'' is often considered a lost classic album of hip hop. The song "Doin' Our Own Dang" includes three other members of the Native Tongues Posse , De La Soul , Queen Latifah and A Tribe Called Quest . "I'll House You" is perhaps the first fusion of hip hop and House Music recorded outside Chicago 's Hip House scene; the song was a club hit that drastically changed the way the hip hop and dance music industries worked, proving that intelligent hip hop could be dance music. The song also influentially decried Homophobia , when negative speech directed towards homosexuals was standard in hip hop. , New Music Express and the Village Voice all placed ''Done By the Forces of Nature'' on their best-of list for the year more awards and details . ''Done By the Forces of Nature'' peaked at #46 on Billboard 's (North America) Top Hip Hop/R&B Albums chart. The title, ''Done By the Forces of Nature'', may refer to a line from the Bhagavad Gita , a Hindui Scripture that says "Those who are deluded by the illusive power (Maya) of Nature become attached to the work done by the forces of nature" (3.28).
