[MyJunior1975]

Sample from "Sensortize" by Roy Ayers. This sample was also found in other classic songs like "Life Story" by Black Rob and "Hypocrite" by O.C. from his "Jewelz" album.

[KryptonDaVillain]

@MyJunior1975 Thanks for putting that out yo.

[Omegadaofficial]

Shit, it took Wu Tang, to really make it hard for him to eat. Until they came on the set, The Foundation, and Duck Down was makin' noise. #TLA ;p

[SuperMpare]

M P A R E!!!

[doughboylg]

[avtos]

[striktrax]

Neck Breaking... Still. 2011

[nastynas373]

i've always wanted an instrumental of this. i personally think its one of premier's under rated beats

[Brak215]

This Children is what you call.......REAL HIP HOP, listen to that flow, boys and girls.... we would call that intelligent world play and lyrical skill, where im from, that is....

[MrCooliovonhoolio]

@Brak215 ...HIIIIP-HOOOOP!

[AstekOst]

@Brak215 where i come from hip hop is dead...children don't listen to this no more...thank god we still have music from the 90s :)

[costyron]

@AstekOst lol thats the most stupid shit I have heard all day. You think hiphop is dead? hiphop can't die. Are you going to listen to 90's music for the rest of your life? Don't get me wrong, it's good music but should peep underground hiphop. If you don't search for good hiphop you won't find it, it's underground you only see shit on the surface aka mainstream hahah

[AstekOst]

@costyron i said WHERE I COME FROM...in my city rearly who listens to hip hop..and not to mention underground...don't worry i know just enough underground artist haha :D

[costyron]

@AstekOst oh ok sorry, english isnt my first language haha just wanted to make sure you don't miss out :D check out cunninlynguists if you don't already know them ;)

[AstekOst]

@costyron hahah it's okay :D thank you anyway...hell yeah i know them :D i love Cunninlynguists - Old School...i freestyle to that instrumental all the time and the song kick ass too :) thank you for the info buddy ;)

[Ronin228]

I miss the real rap, where the music was focused on lyrics and not beat... now its all crappy beats with cheesy ass lyrics... Lil Wayne? wtf! Jeru would pull a lyrical tsunami on Lil Wayne.

[alexangeli11]

Jeru The Damaja!!! One Of The God's Of Rap!!! Big Up My Brother ^^

[FersenCS]

check out - solo quedar consuelo - doble V and jeru the damaja.. craazzy

[boombapster87]

I remember my friend giving me the weirdest look and laughing at me when he found this album (on cassette) sitting on my dresser. I was about 15 at the time and couldn't be anymore puzzled as to why he ridiculed me for listening to such a hip-hop masterpiece. It made me realize how much more I was in tune with hip-hop than my other friends. I couldn't help but feel sorry for his ignorance.

[Fee76Lawlus]

@boombapster87 people don't know shit.

[Metamophisis]

@boombapster87 yo you was on the real no doubt man.

[TheHumanBallsack]

This is the most torrential onslaught of pure, unrestrained lyrics I've ever been hit with within such a short space of time. They crammed more scientifical references and citations into 2 mins than all my science teachers combined over my entire school career.

[sneeekeee]

@TheHumanBallsack I couldnt say it better. Jeru is one of greatest pure rappers ever.

[bz26z61]

Kicks you in the teeth. a spper sweet beat but never domininant Lyrics are the main attraction....Smokin track

[MountainBoysTV]

jeru and guru from gangstarr are the best rappers that have ever walked the earth

[imLEGIT9]

I just made a mess in my pants

[dreamchaser7600]

i just quit rapping fuck it ill sing

[ciernik221]

Slums Attack feat. O.S.T.R. & Jeru the Damaja "Oddałbym" Official Video

[Nugbecool36]

This is real Hip hop compared to the garbage thats out today. I know Hip Hop this song is killing it and the beat is a straight up 1994 beat. Lets bring the flava back. Holla at ya boy this is (NUG) .

[theov562]

Raw beat with a lyrical frenzy

[PlasmaDaddy2]

@YoungPoleInOldReekie so what, cannot express my opinion now?

[hollisprophet]

@Tmathh yeaaa, its slowly coming back to the essence though. The younger generation is waking up...they're tired of this lil wayne bullshit

[Tmathh]

@hollisprophet for real i feel ya on that shit

[TheExquisiteMusic]

@hollisprophet Not really man :( Its fucking sad. But I'm trying to spread the 90's stuff. Especially when were blunted and I play DJ.

[hollisprophet]

@TheExquisiteMusic Haha....I stay on my 90's shit....but there still is a handful of kids in this generation who I see listening to tribe called quest, big l, kool g rap, wu...real shit like that...i think only reason this is happening is cause they're looking at the sorry ass generation they are being raised up with currently....that, and probably they got some parents who grew up on the real shit like us.

[CamouflageAndTimbs]

@hollisprophet

Skinny jean faggots dressing the exact same way their parents did back in the 1980s.

Who in the fuck wants to dress the same way their parents did?

I sure as hell never did.

Fucking unoriginal skinny jean faggots.

[hollisprophet]

@CamouflageAndTimbs For real yo....its a damn shame....these kids on this 'swag' shit are fruity as fuck

[nastynas373]

hate all the whiney bitches in all the 90's hiphop songs who cry about why cant rap be like this anymore. you know what? who cares. if you dont like new age rap then stick to 90's. theres so much dope shit in that era you dont need anything else anyway. you'll be set for life.

peace

[hoodybeatz]

@Misc4Lyfe yessir

[Cuphold3r]

all i can say is get over it, the music is shit, what can we do?

why are you gonna get mad at someone cuz they dont listen to the same music you do?

if you ask me i think you got other problems and you just releasing your negativity on shit like this or you could be a hater who's always got somethin negative to say

[myshiznik74]

im 36 and rap was my love till 96....didn't realize underground is where the sound was still ..now im loving my true music life again....to hell with mainstream

[Qloimen]

yeah man this is real man shit man. i like this shit and I just really have to complaine about that fake mainstream shit man. i'm doin it cus it's cool to hate on mainstream hiphop. yeah man. STOP typing crap on youtube! who cares if you're not inte mainstream hiphop?

[georgiilchev]

yep, it is on the SunRisesInTheEast album. 

[MrCooliovonhoolio]

all emcees these days have no lyrical talent AT ALL! the only reason they are known is bacause of stupid kids who grew up with this bullshit they call hip hop nowdays. these kids are retarded so real hip hop makes no sense to them.nas was right hip hop has died and we need to bring it back.i have much lyrical talent im thinking about bringing back up to those days when whack artists got thrown off stage i dont need a thumb up im speaking the truth.

[Chex2331]

My mental violence well shower, devour

At a crazy rate 

[Everythingunderdasun]

Mainstream hip hop is just artists like Drake who paid record labels to release all of their shitty music to the masses. Real rappers came up rapping from nothing. Everyone who likes mainstream is just eating shit spoonfed by big record labels paid for by the shitmakers themselves.

[drugsfx]

king chyldz dontplayy spreading love its the brooklyn way reality reach open that book

[BENCISKO]

epic

[BetoTheButcher]

This shit came hardest than anything else that year.

[minhasc]

This track right here is up there with "Releasing Hypnotical Gasses" - Org Konf. Pure unfiltered lyricism from 2 menacingly talented MCs.Golden age for sure.

[floridaguy001]

This is what rap should be like, I miss the 90's

[uberdance]

@teewok dude this is the original from sun rises in the east

[mikey0892]

[lakerskobefarmar]

-11 YEARS AS ELECTRONIC ENGINEER AND COMPUTER ENGINEER

[rush1er]

This song helped me pass Chemistry...C3H5N3O9= Nitro Glycerin... THANX JERU!

[almostunimportant]

i never found this dude till like 2 years ago, i really dig it though, the mans got flow and some pretty slick off-beat beats... anyone recommend anything else like this? i got onto him through this thing he did with Groove Armada like 8-10 years ago but then i forgot and just came across a CD of his like a couple years ago

[RikAmmo]

@almostunimportant

UltraManetic MC's / Kool Keith / Afu Ra / GroupHome /

[rlando1974]

[MrBrunothedog]

awesome song. old school hip hop was the best. not like all this lil wayne/50 cent shite

[ShitJitsu]

this is that fine as fuck hip hop joints that you just cant get these days :)

[enerbrat]

im pretty sure this was on sun rises in the east

[suaved]

It was. I used to have the album.

[vyrgo84]

[ZorbinEUR]

@teewok this is the original man what u talkin about

[TheOutcome7]

Holy fuck at the vocabulary usage in this song.

[ricktats]

im sick of reading about people taking jerus world trade center references as some sort of prophecy. do your homework children, the WTC had a failed attack on it in 93. Thats why he references it, not the 2001 attacks.

[spotville73]

this tha shyt i rock b4 i go 2 a bboy battle this is tha natural mystic AMPED shyt !

[DZA9mm]

roy ayers? hahaha

[illadvised50]

Come Clean is an obvious classic but on the real this was always my favorite joint from Jeru.

[djmrmystic]

got this album on wax...long live the Golden Era!

[LettertoTheBetter]

Jeru predicted the commercialisation of hiphop taking aim at p diddy etc and the world trade centre is depicted burning on his album cover from 94 which is nuts...Cant stop the prophet!

[dashiznit95]

i'm 13 and i listen to big l, rakim, mf doom, kool g rap, immortal technique, wu tang, 2pac, biggie, nas, army of the pharaohs, aesop rock, the roots, big pun, AZ, jeru the damaja, people under the stairs, del tha funkee homosapien, KRS-One, jedi mind tricks, etc. not all of it's old school shit but great artists. it pisses me off that most of my generation listens the new mainstream garbage. it's complete shit.

[50cent4evaandeva]

[BigL721]

[originalbiggie1]

I feel ya dude I'm 19 and from New Orleans and I think Wayne is Trash, we need a KRS a Public Enemy a Gangstarr. One of the only artist I respect are Lupe and Eminem because of lylical context

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

@originalbiggie1 I feel ya but you in NO you don't like Jay Electronica, Mos Def Talib

[originalbiggie1]

Also Great MC's to have ever blessed the mic Iike there are so many Old School Artist that I like and that have paved the way for Hip-Hop It saddens me that this was hip-hop then and still kicks ass then the new stuff we have today because it sucks the artist we have today just want a pay-off

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

I agree Man I even forgot to say Del man he always beren slept on did you ever hear Delton 3030. Hey haave you heard Precise Science these catz are incredible comin out of Bmore

[ILoveYourMom88]

@smike17 fuck those auto tuning shitheads. Jeru The Damaja would kick their ass in a battle any day. You Can't Stop The Prophet!

[banizpapi69]

@smike17 ditto. im 17 n u just wrote my story lol .. i b trynna show off these amazin lyricists but this generation is just stubbborn. i stopped trying, i look at it as "its your loss" now.

[JIGSAW71]

[Conceptskatemedia]

@dashiznit95 im really feelin you bro. im 17 now and i literally listen to every single artist/group you just named since i was about your age. all my friends listen to that trash ass shit now cuz people dont like drinking and dancing to real rap. i dunno if you heard of him or not, but a few years after i started listeing to the wu and others real hard i found afu-ra..and he been my favorite since. look up a song by him called defeat

[dashiznit95]

[ibby369]
