@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
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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 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!
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?
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."
One of the most intelligent and best Lyricist of all time.
Without doubt
Back in 1995 Biggie rated Jeru and Nas a straight 10 out of 10 as far as MC skills go.

Jeru The Damaja one of the best lyricist in Hip Hop period.
A living legend and true MC!
This is great. The Sun Rises in the East is one of my personal favorite records.
One of my favorite cd’s it’s should be study by young rappers. Cadence flow style substance
It still sounds new today. And that album was immitated so much

MY MIND SPRAY
Ari is in heaven....in his element.... Meaningful conversation...
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.
Being from Houston I had to be the only Houstonian jamming Jeru in 1997. Much love to the legend Jeru.
I'm from trinity gardens and I was rocking Jeru also.
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
@@hencan23 Nobody can work a mpc 60 like Premo! He's the king of the boom bap sound
He didnt get much commerical appeal and was very ny
Been listening to dude since Daily Operation, and I'm from SW Houston
Jeru ... respect to the Gangstarr Foundation
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.
One of the greatest Lyricists coming out of New York.
Such an intelligent cat. And one of the greatest MC’s to ever bless the mic.💯
Hear that. Cj 168
One of the most underrated rapper ever

Ari is so cool. Love the way he uses rap lyrics to make us understand today's topics. Thank you for that.
Jeru looks healthy, some older rappers look old and fat!
Some of them
Even Nas has been sporting a pot belly for quite a while now..
@@TheHumanBallsack Nas? You bugging
@@subrocjr1439 Seriously, go watch his vid for Cops Shot The Kid.
Jeru does not drink alcohol or smoke, right?
Wow, I really looked up to jeru when I was a young man. Thank god for artists like him.
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!
I’m just NOW checking out this interview in 2021! How did I miss this? Great interview. Jeru kept it real as usual!!
He almost looks exactly what he looked like in 93'
Mad facts
He is one of the greatest, I still have his first single "come clean".
Jeru's in my top 5!!!
Love Jeru one of the best MC's word up!
Talk about icon! Excellent interview Ari!
Jeru speaking facts and dropping gems hip hop treasure
I don't understand why legends like jeru, bigL, black thought etc don't get enough credit that they deserve.. It sickens me
Because they don’t fit what corporate and marketing people want. They aren’t mindless puppets that can be controlled.
@@misham2563 Exactly.
Cause there is an agenda to fill up the jails. Positive rap or reality rap don’t get pushed.
@@misham2563bingo
They are more profound in subject matter and today that is frowned upon in mainstream music.
Intelligent MC! Please listen to his music!
Just tripped upon a Gem of an Interview!
I love Ari for bringing content for the 'heads, being that he's one himself. Love seeing Jeru on here, for real.
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.
And he's not your average Ninja! 😤
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.
Jeru looks younger than he did from back when Come clean dropped. His skin is glowing
You make yourself afraid of things that might happen, jeru is so switched on and grounded
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.
Jeru The Damaja is my 4th Greatest MC Rapper of all time.
Lol who's your first?
One of the best hip-hop spitters ever....ever. pioneer n icon....shot out to Ari for this
So cool to see his guy use his platform to big up and spotlight legends like Jeru. Salute 🫡
Come Clean...one of the best songs in History!
1 of my favorite emcees of all TIME
❤️❤️❤️❤️. Yes Jeru, Kool G is my guy too!
Fantastic. Thank you both. Building is Building.
wow Jeru..Classic!!
jeru is a natural teacher
One of the realest Mc's who practices Hip Hop in its purest form..
Good interview. Jeru was always my favorite from back in the days of Hip-hop
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.

Absolute legend!
Jeru is definitely in my top 10. No doubt.
Dope show concept. Samesies.
One of the best host ever
Just had a great idea, Ari could be the one to help squash the beef between Ebro and Envy?
Eric Paul Goldie
Who cares about Ebro and Envy?
True Legend!!!
Good interview
This host keeps butchering Jeru's name! It's not pronounced JUH-RU ... It's JAY-ROO The Damager
Ari Melber lives and eats hiphop.
A Hip Hop Legend!
Jeru was that early hip hop I was soon fed back in the day. He's such an og
Big up Jeru! G Rap is one of my favourites too, your fav rappers rapper!
This has to be one of top interviews period!
Jeru is one of the most lyrical dudes ever, but how can he not have Rakim in his top 5
He wasn't gonna put Biggie Smalls im there originally, but that's maybe because he was gonna say De La Soul, that's why he added an extra
His opinion
Very Underrated!!!
I’m gonna keep saying it- Ari and Max Kellerman been representing the culture since the early 90’s.
Nice show Ari!
I was thinking Rakim for greatest MC of all time.
He is.
Anyone know where I can purchase that Jeru hoodie?
Jeruthedamajastore dotcom (I got my hoodie from there too!)
Brilliant man, awesome rapper!
#1 rapper .
Best show ever 90s jehru
Dude looks exactly the same way he did in the early 90s.
Kevin Scott all he needs is the dope african hat.
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!
A Hip Hop Hidden Gem!!!
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!
🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤( wish it was longer)
One day!
That was "either" before the either
Hip Hop maybe American culture. But it's roots are from Jamaica. Let's not forget that. The bravado evolved from 'Toasting'
Absolute Legend.
Just outstanding and insightful! 👏🏾✌🏾
Real respect tha real‼️

"Ari Melber": moneyed hip-hop fetishist-voyeur. Jeru should own the programme and be sitting in the seat
He cant even pronounce jehru
Jay-roo, not je-roo
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."

Never thought Jeru would be a sellout. Never thought hip hop itself would be a sellout. Sold out to SATAN!
No rakim in his top 5
He probably looked at the video and was like man!! Forgot abt the R!! A lot of MCs do this.
