Look up K RINO 🔥from Houston , not 1 mutha d#€&£% cuss word on all his albums. Was hoping 2 hear black ice! Regardless this was a masterpiece. Stay Blessed ! NPR ! SALUTE!
remember seeing Jeru tearing up the south bank in London on a summers afternoon about 5 years ago, was also impressed on how he replaced all the cursing with other words and got the kids there involved in the show, maximum respect was a killer show
I disagree. I think he came out of a time when conscious hip hop was in its prime, but the power's that be made sure that great MC's that had something to say to uplift the culture was destroyed. And it was replaced with the dumbing down of our society. Soon after, came the retarding of the youth with negativity, destruction, gang banging & ignorance. Now look at where hip hop is. 98% of the new generation aren't saying much of anything.
But i hate loops. I like what he's saying in a poetic sense but I hate the way other people's music is being used and chopped up and looped. Music is played by musicians I just can't do this. But he writes good poetry.
Jeru The Damaja do you reside in Germany now? I’m thinking of relocating in a couple of years. Lived there (Frankfurt) in the early 90s and love that country. Peace brother ✊🏾
Smooth Mistic Mike Maybe there’s some sort of copyright issues around those tracks because Come Clean was the one that made him. You know how this music stuff can be complex sometimes!!
Vaughn Proctor Oh I definitely know my hip hop alright!! I saw him when he performed in London after he released The Sun Rises In The East. I also happened to bump into him at the annual carnival we have. He came across as a cool down to earth guy.
Wow! Jeru on NPR! That's a nice surprise... old skool real hip-hop! Dude sounds great, not many rappers sounds the same live as they do on record. BIG UP!
I didn’t know who this was when I clicked and I thought it was going to be some gnarly flute player for the first two minutes...this was unexpected and amazing
@@JerutheDamaja1 Yes you are, brother. I've been listening to you since the early days. When I heard your first album back in the day it blew my mind. To see you on this platform made my day. Masha'llah. Stay healthy, stay blessed and know that you've impacted the world and made it a little bit better. Ma salaam, Much love from a long time fan👍✊
Jeru The Damaja has always been a lyrical cerebral poetic assassin. A very underrated master of rap and verse. Still doin it so its true. Cant stop the Prophet. Salute!
I'm glad the he addresses the current plague of idleness. There is no contest in productivity, and we should understand that some folks do need time to recover. That said, I'm tired of hearing healthy people say they're bored when they've sat around for two weeks without trying to create a thing.
Ain't the devil happy was the first song I heard from Jeru and I was hooked ever since...............straight classic and my personal favorite song of his.
I feel like im listening to history via spoken word. With his rhymes he's trying to teach you and show you his wisdom of the world. It's an ancient concept thrown into a modern media.
@Damian Harris I think it probably has more to do with the themes in the song. Every verse he did was delivered with a positive side message, but I don't know that you can do that with any of the lyrics in Come Clean.
My mind spray!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 The sun rises in the East - CLASSIC! Still in heavy rotation over here!! Scientifical madness really applies in these times we’re living in now, It was ahead of its time when it was released!! Salute JERU!!!!!
True Hip Hop, Underground Lyricist!!! You have remained the same to Hip Hop. I love deep, spiritual, subliminal rhymes! I've watched, listened & followed you for years. Thank you.. Your music is timeless and UNTOUCHABLE!!!! 🔥💯
Thanks for all the love, each and every one of you!!!
It's truly reciprocal J.....Thank You
Straight 🔥 🔥🔥
Thanks to you Jeru!! great message at the end of the concert! that was epic.
One giant big up from Aotearoa New Zealand. As my people here say "Ko koe he Maunga"' You are a mountain...solid...legend!!!
We need this music all over again SUN.
Thank you Jeru for not cursing, gave my son a lesson in real hip-hop...
Hey, Ben, you are welcome, I wanted it to be something that could be shared with the whole family!
Look up K RINO 🔥from Houston , not 1 mutha d#€&£% cuss word on all his albums. Was hoping 2 hear black ice! Regardless this was a masterpiece. Stay Blessed ! NPR ! SALUTE!

On god what a display he made, crazy one of the godfathers salute for collabing with doble v G
You gotta do a joint with black thought.
This man sounds like no one and no one sounds like him. Originality.
There's also Rakim
And theyre both still in their prime .. jeru needs to be poppin out some more legendary albums
Chris M FACTS THATS HIP HOP

@@natedogg5708I agree but this generation has no respect for the music of the 90's 😢 smfh.
Criminally underrated mc of the 90’s! Sun rises in the east one of the best albums of the 90’s period! Jeru the Legend!
One of the best albums ever
There's nothing like Jeru,over a Preemo beat!!!
Facts he was going crazy on over them beats by premo
💯
FAAAAAACCCCCTTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!
I never thought I'd see Jeru the Damaja on NPR
STIR FRIED SUBWAY RAT yes indeed, This just made my morning and took me right back to 1996 .. the man the legend
he's making moves
Never thought I'd see him again since highschool.... Definitely good to know he still making moves... In today's climate of hip hop that is.
Something for everyone on your friendly national public broadcaster 🤗
RIght? Wow! Aplauso!!!
Massive respect to Tiny Desk for bringing us some hip hop legends....please do Krs One

It's 2020 and Jeru is still ahead of time. 💜💯

78 haters disliked this. They don’t know REAL Hip Hop music!
its only at 94 now, some of them must have had kids...
Man, ain’t that the truth...
Yeah the man is brilliant
Marcus Williams they needed to check the album cover pics and the dates, for the 3 eye to be open
But i hate loops. I like what he's saying in a poetic sense but I hate the way other people's music is being used and chopped up and looped. Music is played by musicians I just can't do this. But he writes good poetry.
One of the best gifts of this quarantine
For sure💪🏠💚regards from Spain!!
One Love!!
The world needed this
Amen!!!!
One of the best to ever hold a microphone. Period.
he was dope, but not even in the top 50
Yeah no disrespect but he ain’t that dope gotta couple of songs I like buuuuuut
Go write down that fifty man. Seriously...
All facts.. and anyone who says otherwise knows nothing bout hip-hop... period
@@stixstrumentalsthapradoosa6101
Sorry do you only have ten CDs in your collection as your Dead Wrong as Biggie said
How does this guy not get more recognition? He's amazing
Because he speaks the truth.
He did in the 90s
Probably because he stays in Germany
Jeru, You a legend! 1994, 'The Sun Rises in the East', Best believe a Hip Hop Masterpiece!
Thank you!!
Might be the best hip hop album of all time! This was hot! Thanks Jeru
“Wrath of the Math” was even BETTER! Peace.
FACT!!!!!!! i remember blowing Ls and being in the zone when i was working out listening to it. CLASSIC!
“D. Original Dirty Rotten Scoundrel & Gang Starr Member”!!! For the True Classic OG Hip Hop heads!!! Respect NPR 🙏🏼🙌🏼🤘🏼
YAAAAAAAAAAAS

One of my favorite MC’s
Wicked ....old days just come back ......Jeru Bless
Thank you for blessing us Brother Jeru. You're a hip-hop king and living legend.
Power & IF are dope~! Thx for that Jeru~! Rly missed ya around.. grew up on your songs. Guess we all get old.. time passes by.

The God's and the Earth's?
JERU THE DAMAJA HAS ALWAYS BEEN LYRICALLY NICE!!

Thank You Jeru The Damaja for EXISTING ON EARTH -PEACE
Lots of love from Africa. Greatest.
One Love to Africa, come check me performing more of my classics in my new series on my channel.
One of the best. All-time status.
Just want to thank NPR Tiny Desk for showing so much love to 90's hip hop from this 90's hip hop kid.
Thank you sir, much love and respect.
Jeru is a lyrical beast, but how can he not perform “come clean”?
And.... "WHATEVA"
Same thing I was thinking. Thought he was saving it for last, then it ended.
Smooth Mistic Mike Maybe there’s some sort of copyright issues around those tracks because Come Clean was the one that made him. You know how this music stuff can be complex sometimes!!
Vaughn Proctor Oh I definitely know my hip hop alright!! I saw him when he performed in London after he released The Sun Rises In The East. I also happened to bump into him at the annual carnival we have. He came across as a cool down to earth guy.
I wouldn't put it past NPR to reject it over some of its lyrics 👀
Suddenly 2020 strikes back bringing a legend to the stage for a lesson on hip hop.
Wow! Jeru on NPR! That's a nice surprise... old skool real hip-hop! Dude sounds great, not many rappers sounds the same live as they do on record. BIG UP!
I love when a legend keeps his skills sharp.
Best thing on the internet today (and tomorrow probably)
'Nothing matters except for how we treat people' ..So true man.
I see there was a few sucker's who disliked this great post. Jeru the damaja is the truth!!!!! Got to hire him for one of my shows !!!!
Thanks Jeru for blessing us with this, representing for the OG hip hop cats. When hip hop was about LYRICS!
You are welcome!
Mans so fly he got his own Toblarone.
😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣one love!!
Matching socks and t-shirt as well, baller!
lol! nice one
You a fool for that yo! 😂🤣😂 Said he got a Toblarone wit his name on it!
What a surprise 👏👏👏
Yes, the superhero is in us! Heart greetings from Hamburg
Jeru!! Back from the 90s, thanks for sharing your gift.
I haven't heard this guy in years!
I didn’t know who this was when I clicked and I thought it was going to be some gnarly flute player for the first two minutes...this was unexpected and amazing
I'm' glad you liked it. For the record,, I am gnarly, but in a good way ;) One Love!

Power to the People!! One Love One Peace!! This iz Home Concert 💣💣💣💥💥💥
Tiny Desk gets another Gold Star for this one.
I missed this sound!!! Hip hop and rap has changed so much.
All you have to do is look on UA-cam. There's So much great underground hip hop from back in the day!
EDoubleO I have 2 CD books full of 90s hip hop, but my collection isn’t as extensive as I thought. I forgot all about Jeru!
@@MA1.5 nice! I have alot of stuff on Vinyl. Have you heard any of the new Eric sermon /masta ace/black moon or gangstarr? They still got it!
Dude was a beast back in my day
Still is
Pure Legend. Beyond that tbh....
It is incredible how his voice didn't change, even the way he spit, no difference at all comparing to 20 or 30 years ago !
word is bond Jeru The Damaja, No one can't stop the Legendary MC !! One Luv
The motivational speaker of the rap world!
I feel like im listening to history via spoken word. With his rhymes he's trying to teach you and show you his wisdom of the world. It's an ancient concept thrown into a modern media.
GODBODY. so blessed for my era of hip hop. Ain't the dev...wooooooo!!
He started this off with “CAN’T STOP THE PROPHET‼️”
🏆👉🏽👨🏿🎶🎵💽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
"I infect MCs like the Corona" knowledge ahead of our time. Watching this today is crazy... And these 3 first songs made me elevate my mental
Coronavirus has been around since the 1960’s.
The original lyric is “Ebola”. He changed it for this set.
No "Come clean"..😩
Enjoyed the the show. Nice trip down memory lane. Peace and blessings to you.💯👊🏽
Probably couldn't , he says f*ggot flambe. In one of his lines.
@@yahinicv That's no reason to skip one of his biggest songs. Change the lyric.
Awwwwww man. I'm not at the end. That's what i was waiting for. 😭😭😭😭😭 😆
Jungle Music and his verse from I'm The Man would have been dope too.
@Damian Harris I think it probably has more to do with the themes in the song. Every verse he did was delivered with a positive side message, but I don't know that you can do that with any of the lyrics in Come Clean.
One of my top 5. Happy for this!!! We need a new Jeru and Primo album...please!!!
Singing Scientifically Madness along with Jeru. Much love from Los Angeles!!!
My mind spray!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 The sun rises in the East - CLASSIC! Still in heavy rotation over here!!
Scientifical madness really applies in these times we’re living in now, It was ahead of its time when it was released!!
Salute JERU!!!!!
Lyricist fareal!!!! Jeru was def in my top five mid 90’s.... Fuegoo
"I control the mic like Fidel Castro" Still. The BEST punchline ever! Glad to see you in shape, Jeru.
Greetings from the island.
One of the greatest M.C.'S of all time GOD BLESS Jeru keep telling them to "Come Clean" peace!!!!!
Im so happy that i find this... Love and respect for legend!
My mind spray goes hard🔥🔥🔥
Classic and Modern
Take me back to 94, good to see Jeru still doing his thing
