  Done by the Forces of Nature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
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 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).

In "Forces of Nature," Ben Affleck stars as Ben, a repressed, buttoned-up stuffed shirt writer who, through a series of natural and manmade mishaps, ends up spending the several days before his impending marriage in the company of a freespirited, totally spontaneous and liberated young woman named Sarah, played by Sandra Bullock.

The song was one of the first such collaborations, and it led to the term "hip-house." Straight Out the Jungle, along with Done by the Forces of Nature which followed as a Warner Brothers release in 1989, firmly established the Brothers' reputation in the rap world.
After reaching critical acclaim with Done by the Forces of Nature, the JBeez began to fade from the spotlight.
The five-year gap between Forces and 1993's JBeez Wit the Remedy probably didn't help matters, and neither did the reviews: The critically underappreciated album was largely seen as too experimental and self-indulgent to compete with the California G-funk.

And when this is done, the cosmic forces of nature will no longer play havocly, and destructively among our nation, for the cosmic forces of nature they are true and faithful to GOD, your great Creator, and to CHRIST your LORD and your Savior.
These things are done unwillingly, for you do not desire to be destructive to yourself and to your own national and natural resources, but you are, because of those destructive tendencies prenataled within you handed down traditionally.
You know you can blame them in a way of speaking, but you cannot blame the cosmic forces of nature; you know it is the work of something supernatural that is causing destruction in your land by failing to Love GOD and keep His Commandments.

 RollingStone.com: Done By The Forces Of Nature : Jungle Brothers : Review
The Jungle Brothers are part of the Native Tongues, a triumvirate of innovative rap groups (including De la Soul and A Tribe Called Quest) united in the belief that by adopting progressive attitudes the rap movement has nothing to lose but its gold chains.
Their joyously Afrocentric message comes through loud and proud – their idea of heaven is a two-month paid vacation in the motherland.
On the title track, they reveal the source of their inspiration – "I put these words in a special order/Because I was overcome by the forces of nature" – then decry an artificial world where "they don't use lemons to make lemonade."

Signed to a major label for 1989's Done by the Forces of Nature, the JB's failed to connect on that album -- hailed by some as an ignored classic -- or the follow-up, J Beez Wit the Remedy.
Though Straight Out the Jungle had not sold in large quantities, Warner Bros. signed the trio in 1989 and released a second album, Done By the Forces of Nature, that same year.
The Jungle Brothers' chances of mainstream acceptance weren't helped at all by a four-year absence after the release of Done By the Forces of Nature, inspired mostly by Warner Bros.' marketing strategies.

The crowd, pushing in to position themselves for the next act, forced Demmi farther and farther to the side, and finally she gave up and went back to the wings, a little behind one of the massive P.A. speakers.

The other albums' joyful collage of musical genres -- house cheek-to-jowl with doo-wop on "What 'U' Waitin '4'?" soul with funk, classical and concert LP on "For the Headz at Company Z" -- seems to have been deliberately laid aside in favor of familiar, if efficient, old-school beats.
Whereas "Straight Out of the Jungle" and "Done by the Forces of Nature" perpetrated multi-channeled visions of fl masculinity -- bawdy, smart, tender, angry, amused -- "Raw Deluxe" for the most part allows only a narrow conduit of aggro, defensiveness and sorrow.
In 1993, the JBs' "J. Beez Wit the Remedy" set the standard as the first out-rap album with its wild-ass, weed-driven distillation of '60s Sun Ra, '70s funk, '80s jeep beats and '90s sampling wizardry; in comparison, "Raw Deluxe" sounds word-heavy and static.

Though the trio's albums never sold as well as its peers', the Brothers' Straight Out the Jungle and Done By the Forces of Nature are two overlooked late 1980s classics.
The Brothers, featuring ultra-creative rappers Mike Gee and Baby Bam, made a habit, too, of taking long layoffs between albums, always returning with wonky, experimental music that seems to push the act further into obscurity.

Free to sample and manipulate in a more sophisticated setting, the JBs mixed up breaks and beats that recalled the Bronx block parties of their youth, incorporating elements from jazz, soul, and funk classics.
The resulting album, Done By The Forces Of Nature, ranks with other masterpieces of the era like the Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique and De La Soul's seminal Three Feet High And Rising.
But it was another Gee Street connection that would put the JBs back in the spot where styles intersect and musical hybrids are born.
