wuuuuuuuuut i didnt even know Jeru was still droppin shit. I know it came out in 07 but DAMN i thought Jeru just retired or sum shit in the late 90's once rap started going commercial. what a surprise.......

[McGinnsey]

@OriginalDemigod i didnt know either man! i went to see him live a couple of years ago and he was selling this album before he went on stage signing them all for everyone who bought one. it was sound! hes a humble guy i was talking to him for about 15 mins bout the state of hip hop and what he thought of Drum and Bass (it was a relevant topic everything else that night was from the dnb genre)

[iamegrant]

yes yes yes

[tenhard]

jeru hes like kool keith he keeps it underground, they dont switch on commercial. nice1 :)

[guzman0717]

@cl0ckw0rx (constantly pressing the vote up button)

[iiNDiTC]

yo to the cats who are saying rap artists are influenced by RUN DMC kool keith etc...i gotta say, do you know who RUN DMC sampled? you gotta check the artists from 60s well through the 80s when hip hop was flourishing...kool herc himself was influenced by music made in previous generations(disco, funk, reggae, blues jazz)...hip hop has its roots in other music genres, thats the backbone of most beats, their sampled by songs made years prior to the existence of hip hop. just spreading the word bb

[iiNDiTC]

all of his albums are dope and worth copping, even after departing GS family Jeru is holding it down never to slip. Tha Dirty Rotten Scoundrel !!!

[HIPHOPrevoltion]

fuckin ill

[Massakers]

big track , good album for 2007 .. Jeru still kick ass

Jeru dealing real damaja to ignorant bitchez and teaching Lil kidz ain't to be snitchez. =D HAHA Im so flipping HIIIIII!

[outofAlog]

to be this il is naturual ........Broolkyn MCS be d best

[deps420]

i dotn know bout the best emcees come from brooklyn, u need to start looking more if thats what u really think. SERIOUSLY

[voidenter]

? so yea obviously if some one is dope they are dope no matter where they are from.

however NY raises you (a lot of parts)

to be corrupt and then its up to you to e good or bad. the ny state of mind is a real thing

in case you didnt know.

and truthfully, i can count on 1 hand rappers that are good who arent from some part of NY. brooklyn was dopest, kool keith was from the bronx tho, so its a tough call.

oddly toronto has 2 okay kids

I dont sleep on canada thats for sure

east coast has hope

[deps420]

so if u think thats it look in the westcoast, u have Dilated peoples, the visionaries, defari, the beat junkies, planet asia, wow i can go for days, u need to look more, and yes i do got ALOT of luv for the eastcoast cuz thats where the hip hop all began, in brooklyn but when someone says thats where the best r at then ur definetly wrong period.

[voidenter]

WOW everyone you listed is painfully mediocore

in my opinion..

del and automator is about all the west coast ever had that was influencing others. but even automator owes a lot to kool keith and prince paul. so you are down to del.

true theres prob. some kid in oakland spiitin fire right now that even you dont know about

but until you got some shit floating around brooklyn how am i to know?

[deps420]

listen to them then tell me what u think, even eastcoast kids made requests to see all that i listed. and they've rocked it there. so maybe its just u who doesnt know where its all. i got family in the east and they know what cracks in the east from the west.

[voidenter]

east coast kids are requesting west coast artists on you tube?!?!?!?!

whats next....

hip hop being pressed on vinyl?

[alex2106]

every artist owes something to Kool Keith, to Run DMC, to The Furious 5-its coz they were creators!! everything that came out after them was influenced by those type of guys. N how can u say the westcoast had no influence on anyone? The whole gangsta-rap thing?

but i see where your cuming from

[deps420]

then sorry dont know what to tell ya. u must have a horrible taste is music. obviously. but who cares music is music. check out dilated peoples on u tube and check the comments dawg. the eastcoast wants us.

[drugsfx]

word to every lion he liein about stealin food out of a lions mouth without getting eatin dont make me start beastin just that line enough is reason to start reach n you dont want it with reach he carrys weapons that speak directly to enemys in sessions that flee bitch nigguhs like flees like a angry swarm of bees bullets flying thru ya tees to leave you bleedin on ya jeans plz tell these fools the lions here to take back the castle bang the gaffle its the sour lemon from the rotten apple

[deps420]

get off the crack dude

[98stwarmachine]

Jeru spitting metaphores/ unlike you who's rhymes are poor/ your lyrics need change/ they need to be rearanged/ you don't even know who to explain/ what you've just written/ hip hop is the law and your commitin a sin/ biting styles and lyrics/ from the end to beginin/ the god of rap is unforgiving/ you get sent to hell/ once you read this your put under the spell/ look how deep you fell/ i turn a rhyme into the sea/ with underground volcanos that blow your mind like an unknown entity!! biaaatch

[drugsfx]

first watch ya mouth/ your not talkin to your moms so calm that shit down/before i have no choice/to leave you with no voice/ill put this blunt out on your tongue /for talkin shit/ill cut off ya lips /simple as splat/i got no time for a battle raps/but since im the exterminator i gotta set these rap traps/tackle rats/i mean facts is facts/i wear my platinum plaques/you beggin i get the kings to give your platinum back/you actin thug/you dont carry the mac n slugs/you give your back to get fucked

[AllMalt711]

Why are some of you whining around primo is missing and stuff? Jeru is still here and it sounds fresh as bill clinton was still president and the bulls collecting championships.

[zanaxcloud]

No doubt homie...Jeru is that one who spits over water drops..COME CLEAN..his lyrics are enough to break my damn neck 4 real..the beats are just a bonus

ONE

[auhosj877]

too true

[dJrocketJAM]

real talk allmalt

[ruslanio]

To get this ILL, it takes PRACTICE.

[PATIENTLYPERSIST]

king!

[GeniusGod]

damn...

[Xerxes20xx]

He's taking these MC's to Maury for paternity tests! Funny, but he's not the daddy the way these suka MC's perform on the mic nowadays.

[MCkj89]

Amazing Lyrics, Jeru the King 4 real !!!

[stevjah]

Does anyone know what is the name of the original,sampled track?

[muddashigh]

unbelievalbe track, just as usual jeru kicks it the real way! big respect...

[rawnig5500]

fuck dat the system has failed me i'am a jeru fan and i just heard this. corperate rap must die bcause hip hop is not dead.

[RyanFendley]

Anyone got any idea of any new old school artists or albums?

[ruslanio]

Check out Masta Ace, Mos Def, Immortal Technique

[mach1man22]

All of them are exceptional rappers in lyrics although the beats they rap over are pretty wacked. None of them compare to Jeru though..

[dirtdogg619]

weak ass beat but same old school ILL ass flow from jeru. I miss premier beats

[sickxskaterxdude]

so dope!!!

[stevjah]

THE ORIGINAL

[amilaku]

[socialbunny]

This track is tight as fuck.

[DeadDisney1]

[cebrillin]

Show some appreciation and go buy this shit at the store!!!

[veronika900]

i bought it

[cebrillin]

Sadly or should i say, Gladly thats how it works. Greatness doesnt excite everyone at once. Its like a trickle down effect. This LP is greatness. The production is equally as nice. Way to keep the cuts in there minus premo too.

[TheSearchForTheLight]

Domm,, Domm, Domm, Domm!!!

[julliegyal]

jeru is da man!amazing lyrics....!

but do you know what was used for sample on a song "NY" on Still Rising??????

[bucc209]

how ill is my favorite track off the still rising album. 2bad jeru and premier don't get along anymore, when they worked 2gether it was AMAZING. JERU still got skills on the mic.

[Hndsome777]

WTF...I was gonna get this CD today, but I didn't because I thought it was too old. Why tha fuck we didn't know about this real shit last year when it came out?? I'm gonna cop this this week, for sure!!...Too much bullshit on the radio that you don't even know when thr REALLL HIP HOP is STILL OUT THERE!! Thanks for posting this......

[HedSpinn]
