I remember first seein this vid on the box in da U.K, da tune blew me away, cuz itz sum ILL shit an i was 12....and now its 2012 and im 28 im still bangin dis tune cuz its still fuckin ILL!!!
So intellegent, so witty, so concerned about his community. More than anything about 'hip-hop' today I miss artists giving a shit about anyone but themselves... let alone how their music will affect the youth. #whowillrise?
This was back in the day when they were still putting music on tape. I can remember blasting this tape in south Philly. Riding around with my nigga Quamma in my Isuzu Trooper sitting on hammer rims with the black tinted windows.
Rise up! Check out "Remove Canadian Income Tax by 2020" on Facebook. Like us if you believe the tax system needs to be simplified, and adjusted to be collected on sales and net worth alone. Don't be taxed from all angles. Stand up and end this tax that was introduced as temporary. Remember taxes are a duty for a citizen in a civilized society however to tax the poor on every step towards wealth is criminal. ~ Reverend Tredre - check me out on Facebook.
I spotted ignorance here in St. Louis on the northside where niggers are peeling scalps back. I had to tell him that his nine spray but my mind spray so he broke the fuck out. PEACE AND RESPECT TO JERU THA DAMAJA
WOW!!!! I really need to upgrade my old school hip hop. Sure I have the itunes essential version with all the big singles but nothing like this!!! I'll busy the next few hours.
@JacobDakarai23 Hip-Hop had long been sold out by that point- check out My Philosophy and I'm Still #1 by BDP. At the height of the Golden Era, shortly before Yo! MTV Raps began accelerating the corruption of Hip-Hop, we were warned by the Teacher
@sieman78 yea word up bro haha, its probably some kids wearing skinny jeans and a shirt with a pic of lill wayne or some other fag on it, they think: damnit...... no autotune, and dislike.
I leap over lies in a single pound who are you? The black prophet One day I got struck by knowledge of self They gave me super scientifical powers Now I, run through the ghetto Battling my arch nemesis Mr.Ignorance He's been trying to take me out since the days of my youth He feared this day would come I'm hot on his trail But sometimes he slips away because he has an army They always give me trouble mainly Hatred, Jealousy and Envy they attack me They think they got me HIP-HOP
The lyrics and the video is hard. I still got the album. "Yo Prophet! Ignorance is tired of you followin' him around. We about to put an end to it out right. Animosity! Yeah! Despair! What's up! Get 'em! Buraaaarrggh!" I recited that over and over when I was in High school.
Is anyone actually trying to date this??? This is a blueprint of real HIP HOP!!! Jeru don't lie. Can't stop it, the system can't stop it, this is US!!!
cant stop the prophet got gods knowledge sick flow and fat pockets no room in my wallets no lies im honest im never beat i smoke trhat heat leave my enemies in defeat catching tags on the streets im the prophet best belive ya heard mc ziek sickest lyricist since big l'sdisapearence
took me a while this time but I foud it, eh eh. nothin funny about it, the damn commercials takes steadily more space in my monitor, it s gettin worst not better....
where s the awareness songs like this should awake??????
ignorance is taking over. no way,you better finish it.
Up & coming rappers should listen to this for inspiration, Jeru was all about being original while spreading knowledge & promoting education. Today we don't see rappers talk about these things and we don't see the great story telling ability like we did with Jeru, Slick Rick, Biggie.
I remember first seein this vid on the box in da U.K, da tune blew me away, cuz itz sum ILL shit an i was 12....and now its 2012 and im 28 im still bangin dis tune cuz its still fuckin ILL!!!
