Get Low (1975) - Little Jonathan & The Eastside Gentlemen ft. The Complimentary Twins

Forced underground due to their extremely straightforward lyrics, Little Jonathan & The Eastside Gentlemen and close affiliates, The Complimentary Twins, enjoyed cult success while being banned even from soundtracks such as Dolemite. The only place such music was acceptable in 1975 was x-rated cinema, which led to these talented outfits being taken less seriously than their output warranted. Still, they refused to adjust their approach, content with enjoying the freedom to be as raw and real as they wished. John was once quoted, saying "This is how we talk when ain't nobody around. If we change up 'cause yall listenin', we ain't bein' real." John may not have been the originator of keeping it real in popular music, but he was one of the concept's most adamant proponents. Enjoy the smooth, raunchy sounds.
