peaking out against what he saw as a decline in rap during the mid-'90s, Jeru the Damaja came to the fore as a self-proclaimed prophet and the savior of hip-hop, much as KRS-One had done almost ten years before. Jeru first appeared as a guest on Gang Starr's Daily Operation album, and his own deal with Payday/ffrr appeared soon after, resulting in 1994's The Sun Rises in the East. Though he made few friends in the rap world -- given his outspoken criticism of such popular figures as the Fugees and Sean "Puffy" Combs -- he proved a vital force in the emergence of the new rap consciousness of the late '90s.

People need stop saying Hip-Hop is dead! It's still alive. The devil got your minds fuck up people.Stop listening to these corporate Rappers,that are too afraid to speak up and express about what's going on in the life of today's youth. This is my main reason why, i don't fuck up my eardrums with this party & bullshit. We need balance in Hip-Hop music people. I love my Hip-Hop culture.So i can never say...it's dead.Fuck that!
