@Nicky Tarantino Google the original 95 article from his Canadian interview. He rated Nas and Jeru a 10, MC Eiht an 8 (a coincidence I'm sure haha), despite their alleged "beef" he said he couldn't knock Tupac at all, "dude gets busy", he said he absolutely loved Too Short and he had the utmost love for him, he said Lady of Rage was the coldest female in the game at that time, but he trashed Spice 1 and E-40 with straight zeros, which later led to him being threatened by E-40's goons in Cali, and he also spoke down on Ice Cube, Redman for switching his style to the psychedelic 1994 version (Dare Iz A Darkside), Naughty by Nature for not being motivated to produce more consistent albums and being content with putting a few big hits on albums to sell units...
I know im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me
East Side Houston and I was rocking Jeru . Sad most houstonians don’t even know that the architect of the gutter New York sound is a producer from Houston- DJ Premier
Great interview. Growing up in the 90s listening to hip hop exposed me to a lot of information, personalities, stories and etc. It's good to see one of the many emcees, whom admired as a kid, doing well and still doing his thing.
Dopest & so authentic and real interview on mainstream TV. 💯💯👍✌️ Jeru The Damaja is one of the OG Legends in Hip - Hop for all you youngsters out there.
Jeru is one of my favorite artists from when I was about 16 years old. I'm 40 now. His lyrics and style are still the same in his 2022 album. I love that he has always kept it original.
first time seeing Jeru...what a delightful man...hes so respectful and polite...well mannered and what an obliging guest!!...he needs more time and questions...and time to answer those questions.....great stuff....more Jeru please!
WOW, I'm surprised he didn't mention Rakim, who definitely made an impact on rhyming, using metaphors, before him, emcees were rapping in a simple format with the exception of Melli Mel and Caz.
I used to frequent the Village of Manhattan back in the 90's and I met Afu-Ra and Jeru selling black conscious books on 6th Ave, this is when Jeru was on the come up. The three of us were building for few minutes.
I thought with Ya Playin' Yaself he was countering the whole Puffy Biggie and Jay-Z gangsta era. I thought that was cool. He wasn't afraid of them/the message they wuz pushin'...The Sun Rises in the East.
At the end of the day its bigger than the Artist the Problem is the Greedy Zionists pulling the strings. It's bigger than Trump because the real rulers of The World are behind the strings such as the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, DuPonts, JP Morgans, etc.
@@MentalStillness Stephen, your reply seems a little tropey/anti-semetic. Have you any evidence the all the people u mentioned JP Morgan, Duponts etc are pushing the Gangsta agenda. I say a lot of it's coming from the Vatican, no doubt some people would say it's all coming from Iraq, Afganistan and Iran...and it goes on...
That's basically what he said but there was no need to call anybody out by their name, especially twenty-some years after the fact. We all knew exactly who and what he was talking about in the rap game.
Yea the same folks who claim they were not involved in the slave trade only to find they were the real slave owners and they hate our people which is why Shia Lebouf's ex is claiming abuse IMO
It's cool to see CNN will air a segment on real hip hop with Ari. You think Fox News would genuinely embrace hip hop, a form of art they won't ever understand? No way!
This world is crazy how the mind think. He looks safe now at this point but he’s the same person back in 93. Actually he’s even Extra wiser now. Never judge a books by cover!
Meh. Ari egged him on with Biggie. I agree with everyone else on the list, but swap out Biggie for KRS-One. I'll give Jeru credit for trying to clean it up, saying "Ya Playin' Yaself" wasn't a Biggie diss track--maybe not directly, but Jeru CERTAINLY wasn't fond the direction that Puff Daddy/P-Diddy was taking Hip-Hop as evidenced by the track "One Day."
Nice interview with music rapper Jeru The Damaja. Jeru The Damaja shouldn't have Big Daddy Kane and De La Soul on his top 5 music rappers list LOL. My top 5 favorite music rappers are Willie D, MC Ren of NWA, Redman, 2Pac Shakur(RIP), Gang Starr(RIP Guru). I also like Jeru The Damaja, A Tribe Called Quest(RIP Phife Dawg), Ice T, Run DMC(RIP Jam Master Jay), LL Cool J, Ice Cube of NWA. Jeru The Damaja shouldn't be living in Berlin overseas. America is the best country to live. I live in Maryland. I wonder why Jeru The Damaja don't live in america?
