V.I.P. is the fifth studio album by hip hop group Jungle Brothers, released in 2000.[7]

"Freakin' You" peaked at #70 on the UK singles chart.[8]

Production

The album was written in Jamaica, and produced by Alex Gifford of Propellerheads.[9]

Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "fun, funky, and infectious -- a party record where everyone sounds like they're having a blast."[3] Entertainment Weekly wrote that "excessively eclectic production ... smothers the hip-hop duo’s jazzily organic rhymes."[2] The Riverfront Times called it "a great ... melding of progressive electronic grooves and rhymes, a contender for Album of the Year."[10]

Salon wrote: "Most disturbing, the pallor of the dead lingers all over V.I.P. Not dead like Tupac and Biggie but, rather, the end of an era and a style, and of the individuals who were first responsible for those innovations."[11]
