About JERU THE DAMAJA
Jeru the Damaja (born Jeru Davis) aka D. Original Dirty Rotten Scoundrel hails from Brooklyn, New York where he was born and raised. Jeru was first introduced to hip-hop in the local parks of his neighborhood at age seven and started writing his own lyrics at age ten. Hip-hop has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. Jeru created and took on the persona of the Damaja (because he damages the mic) that is part conscious truth teller and part true to the streets Brooklyn hard rock. Jeru the Damaja then hooked up with DJ Premiere and Guru, collectively known as Gangstarr, shortly after they moved to New York on the late 1980s. Jeru first introduced his unique hardcore conscious style to hip-hop audiences on Im the Man a track on Gangstarrs 1992 Daily Operations album. The East New York native then cemented his place in the hip-hop world by releasing the 1993 classic single Come Clean from his legendary album, The Sun Rises in the East. After a two year hiatus, Jeru released The Wrath of the Math that included the hit singles Ya Playin Yaself and Me or the Papes and was proclaimed the savior of hip-hop due to his honest and straight forward critique of the state of hip-hop music. In 2000 Jeru released Heroz 4 Hire completely autonomously, from the production of the album to its release on his independent label KnowSavage Records. Jeru recently released his second independent project Divine Design on his new label Ashenafi Records featuring production by new producers Ed Dantez and Sabor and the new classics singles WAR and Dont Get it Twisted featuring LilDap from the Group Home. Jeru has toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, South America, and Africa in the past ten years. In between tours Jeru has done joint projects with the gold selling UK group Groove Armada, DJ Cut Killa, Doudou Masta in France, and DJ Honda from Japan now based in New York. Jeru recorded Verses of Doom with Chad Muska, a professional skateboarder, can be heard on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 video game and is on Chads compilation album Muska Beatz. Jeru was recently named on of the 50 Greatest Emcees in Kool Mo Dees book There Is a God On the Mic released in 2004 and is looking forward to continuing that legacy in the future. Jeru is also participating on a Self Destruction Part II Stop the Violence with the legenday artists KRS-One and Chuck D who have both been great influences on his music and life. Through ten celebrated years in the music business Jeru established himself as a multitalented, multifaceted artist and businessperson.

I swear this was the most gangster, non gangster track ever made. So disrespectful and nasty yet he doesn't even curse. One of the most intricately put together set of verses
Yep, concur
Thus is the essence of Jeru, he was hardcore without having to be too tryhard about it. Like authentic 80s and 90s Brooklyn cats.
Shut up
He literally says "faggot flambe" in the third line of the song lol
@@tankerwife2001 & "ass" 😂 plus they say "shit" in the chorus.
This beat is one of the coldest, hardest, and most face scrunching ever made. It’s one of the best I’ve ever heard.
Beat is stupid ill
Definitely an adrenaline pumper
dj premier.....best to ever do it. no joke like half the raps game best song/album is because its a premo track.
Lol.. He said "face scrunching" ... Right as I was face scrunching to this downright sick track.
💯 bro!!!
I'm gonna build a time machine to go back to the golden age of hip hop..who's with me?
I would use of my three wishes on that😌
🙋♂️
I’m in
Im coming with you.
Count me in.😅
"Leave your nines at home and bring your skills to the battle" 🔥🔥🔥🔥
“I’m the mack, so I don’t need to tote a mac.” 🔥🔥🔥
HipHop has saved many lives... Street gangs back in the day that stopped fighting and battled instead by breakdancing and MC'ing is the essence of the culture.
The best verse on the song
That's that line here...🔥🔥🔥
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!!!!
This is the definition of Classic, people will be coming back to this forever!
NYC was so diverse in hip hop every borough had their own sound
Brooklyn
Queens
Manhattan
The Bronx
Staten island
Trotzdem hatte NY immer einen Wiedererkennungswert und hat sich extrem von LA unterschieden.
Ich fand den Sound von NY damals auch besser
Top 10 dopest beats of all time
One of the illest beats ever created.It's so unique
Give the full list. I love bangin beats. This hits so HArd!
Try these beats, they are hard AF.
Group Home - Livin Proof
Rakim - When I B on tha Mic
Mobb Deep - Still Shinin
"When the East is in the house, you should come equipped." Period.
One of the most underrated MC's ever. Dope as hell.
Yo, this was the sickest beat of the 90’s. Every single person who lived through this era of hip hop needs to really sit back and just marinate on how lucky they are. We all caught a snippet of time when mad people were experimenting and making hot shit. They are all godfathers and godmothers of an entire genre of music.
Between this and biggies who shot ya..
Well said
Great comment right here. I guess we're showing how much older we all are now. They just don't make them like this anymore.
@@SirDadbodThis beat has quite a bit in common with the one for Unbelievable that Preemo did for Biggie. Watch the Wassup episode where Preemo talks about how he created the beat from just playing stabs on the MPC rather than looping a melody.
This stayed on repeat back in the day
"...I choose to use my infinite potential" -Jeru the Damaga
Love that line, very inspiring
David Bohm. Physics.
Jeru the Damaja is the pure soul of hip hop. He is the embodiment of what Hip Hop should be, and he conserved it for all times.
He’s so underrated
Ever heard of a guy named Rakim?
@@Asian2706 jeru is better than rakim… but then again there would be no jeru without rakim
@@R00SKi Bro have you ever heard Rakim rap? They call him God MC, god of all MC's and east coast hip hop, this dude founded east coast hip-hop and you call some unheard nigga better than him?? You high on somethin' bruh SMH. 🤦♂ 🤦♂
Wow that's a close call between Jeru and rakim but I gotta give props to Rakim. He is definitely a hip hop Godfather.
They just don't make them like that anymore. Great stuff. Still listening in 2024.
This beat is literally insane
I agree
Premo
Primo’s Ultimate Masterpiece… this track is so dope it still defies logic 25 years later… sick 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌💯💯☝️☝️
30... this track was recorded in 1992, released in 93 as a single, and later released on jerus 94 project
The way he blended 3 tracks together is sick😁😁😁💯💯💯 He blended Shelley Manne's "Infinity", Funk Inc. "Kool is back" and Onyx "Throw Ya Gunz"😁😁😁💯💯💯
It got Primo's DNA all throughout that beat. I saw a video where he gave the breakdown of the beat.
Soon to be 26 years later!
Blew my mind when it dropped. Still got my OG copy on wax. Jeru was a star from the moment he first popped up on a Gang Starr album cut.
I used to have the tape back in the days😁
wax
For all of you young cats, this is real hip hop! Gritty and real.
"In my opinion, one of the best beats ever made"
Which street is under that bridge?
he usually shoots the clips at this stage
DJ Premier
This beat n bars ahead of its time 💯
The beat and rhyme scheme is infinitely clean
This beat was one of the hardest ever made!! 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
Facts 1000.
Thank DJ PREMIER
And todays rappers couldn’t even come close to this level of rapping.
Premo is the goat man how the hell he came up with this shit
@@MegaKnockouts Soo true! Can't stand this new mumble rap crap!!
Jeru took you to the trenches of East NY 💯🗽🔥🔥🔥🔥
When this dropped Premier immediately became one of the greatest Hip Hop producer's of all time. Remember all those cliches used in the 90's like 'game changing - taking it to the next level'? Their origins can all be traced back to hearing 'Come Clean' for the first time !
He had already produced for Illmatic by the time this dropped and had multiple albums w gangstarr and did projects with Mobb Deep, MOP, KRS, and Das EFX. He was already cemented.
Only MC ever that made me go look in the dictionary for a word. ........ Esoteric.
Mental Stamina 👌🏾 Dope
it was sacroiliac for me
UH OH
HEADS UP CAUZE WEE DROPPIN' SOME SHI'
@@jehanwanliss6165 Let your backbone slide.
you didn‘t know what esoteric means? jeez...
CLASSIC !!! I REMEMBER WHEN THIS SONG FIRST CAME OUT TOO !! THIS REALLY TAKES ME BACK ... I REALLY MISS THE 90'S.
It was everywhere, all hoods.
The 90's were the best era hip hop, now in the 2000's hip hop became 🗑️😠
I’m from East New York and grew up around Jeru and Masta Killa…I remember when Blahzay dropped WHEN THE EAST IS IN TYE HOUSE OH MY GOD DANGER hip hop classics
How far mop brown Billie n biggie Fulton Street from east ny
Idk why Jeru is so underrated...
Puffy blackballed him…
Cuz everything after wrath of the math was avg. or below avg.
@@DB-115 Sad but true, he needs a dope producer
@@jowhit226 I’ll produce for him
Jeru The Damaja_Come still on my playlist till April 2024.
Real HIPHOP still alive in our brains
One of thee hardest beats ever. And super lyrical
Premo is a genius
Jeru is on my top 3 no doubt.. underrated true master of ceremony so far
I liked Jeru ever since he did a little cameo on Guru's track (May Guru R.I.P.) "I'm the man"😁 Guru had "The Group Home" on that track along with Jeru😁
One of the best hip hop songs ever created!
Jaimiw
Jeru is truly UNDERRATED...My man's legendary on da real!!!!
This jam still as relevant as ever!!!!
One of the best. Perfect beat, perfect flow. Still sounds good to this day. His style is more fatal than second hand smoke.
Love how he sampled onxy throw ya guns....this was my shit in high school....
Premo is a genius and one of the goats.
Thank you,I was just about to ask someone to ID the sample.
@@sentekiwanuka8968 the "hands up 'cause we droppin' some shit" sample on the hook is Onyx
Unfortunately they (Def Jam moreso) sued him for it SMH
Thus is the essence of Jeru, he was hardcore without having to be too over the top. Thats how the authentic 80s and 90s Brooklyn street cats were.
This beat was soooo hotttt!!!
Yes it was
So are you
Nothing better then walking into an LA underground and this joint coming on. 🔥🔥Glad I grew up in this era.
This is really a Hip Hop masterpiece. Flawless.
Proper hip hop no crime talk. He even raps "id rather buss a nut than a cap" 🎤
Hip hop has been hijacked and lost its way from these bangers from back in the day
His “attack is purely mental”…
Kids these days got no knowledge of self, peace to the Gods & Earths
he also talks politics of the day regarding cuba and ideology war. its deep
your 9 spray, my mind spray. Jeru is one of greatest of all time
That is a fact
I agree with u Man...
Salute from Brazil ✌🏾
Yes he is. He's still nice wit it too.
This ☝️👆
Back in da day I bumped into him at a movie theater l worked at, Sony theater at the time on east 13th st he gave me an autograph 💯 official dude
That fvcking beat though.. if you saw this on MTV, we lived through the golden age ladies and gents.. remember when hip hop was struggling to be taken seriously as a legitimate, talent driven art? Me neither, I'm so glad grew up with this.. Drake couldn't create like this if he was given 1000 years.. come at me bro
Word!!!
Rap City
So true 🎤
I remember as a teenager my father telling me that rap/hip hop wouldn’t last 10 years…. it was a fad. And here we are decades later… pioneers having paved the way for present day artist to be millionaires ❤
MF Doom and Jeru Both are underground Legends.
This is what hip hop was original. New York Hip Hop was always the best.
"You don't know enough math to count the mics that I flip" 🔥
Classic joint! A lot of people forgot how nice this dude was!
If you forget Jeru you’re no true hiphopjunkie :)
I didn't
I never forget, this shit is pure fire!!!!! im saying it in 2022
I never did
We must never forget the "Wrath of the Math" when "The Sun Rises in the East."
i love this mystery hip hop style so real and original peace!
Its called boom bap
Mastery Mystery InDeed. May The Light Shine On You.
@@someguy4502 boom bap is just the drum style... imo too vague a term, I don‘t like it
@@REALdavidmiscarriage Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it isnt a word that thousands of people use to refer to a style of hip hop. Google boom bap and see for yourself.
@@someguy4502 He's saying there's something more specifically in the style of this beat that the term boom bap is too generic to capture.
that orange "Crooklyn" shirt is money
Still my favorite rapper of all time. Most clever
yes sir, had the pleasure to meet him personally, great dude
The most under rated rapper of all time. I'm glad people come here and get to experience him.
timeless classic.
To the youngns out there-ride in your car to this
with the volume up. It’ll change your life
That onyx sample .. man...tops off an already perfect tune!!
This never gets old
Stick fire...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥..who's still listening in 2023?
One of the best hip-hop songs of all time. No question.
Leave your 9's at home and bring your skills to the battle 🔥🔥🔥
When the east is in the house
Omg danger!!!
Kevin Thomas
*.......you should come equip!*
100% they just don’t understand.....
@@gabebx4038 Just listened to Danger right before this.
Ol dirty
When the East New York is in the House ❤️❤️🏆🏆⭐️❤️❤️
One of the hardest beats ever
Classic dj premier beat
Wow never knew this
Yeah man this is one of those where preem showed his scope. So insanely innovative with the water drop beat. Everything premier has touched is Platinum; legitimate Midas touch.
Dj premier..every beat he touches is a classic!
True. Respect.
He just released a video talking about the history and making of this beat
Yessss. Jeru is a lyrically lethal weapon walking. Don't remember them blurring out guns back then though.
Him an Afu-Ra!
One of my favorite preemo beats ever.Jeru is super underated one of the best lyricist from the 90s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beats AND lyrics!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Someone out there making music today needs to pay attention!!!
First heard this in 2012, at 17, got out of school early and went home to bump the Music Choice channel and this masterpiece came on. Good times 👌🏽 👌🏽
YESSSS mate ,
You would have loved this era my young friend.
Great times
This beat was above it's time
This beat with those lyrics real dope back when still hard till this day
THIS SHOWS HOW WE CAN MAKE ANYTHING COOL 😎 THAT WAS AS HOT AS HIP HOP CAN GET. BRING BACK CONSCIOUS RAP 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
facts'
I prefer unconscious rap
@@JesuIsTheOnlyWayToSalvation MF DOOM, mos def, tribe called quest, lord finesse,
I can't believe people forgot the role this played in the east coast west coast beef. Clearly y'all wasn't outside back then.
That's Dat BOOM ... BAP. Real Hip-Hoppers you already know.
This here is a timeless jewel of hip-hop
This beat 🔥🔥🔥
Them Lyrics!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dj premier 🙌🏽💯💯
This track is LEGENDARY 🔥🔥
This beat is so dope, back in the days here in DC, it was flipped into a GoGo track!!! Undoubtedly the dopest beat 🪘 ever
Which Band Did It, I Love To Try To Find It If Possible... I Know That Joint Probably Crank
ABSOLUTELY!! (PG County, Cuzzo!!✊🏿)
That Gang Starr foundation baby!! Hes awesome and super underrated
This beat sends chills down my spine!!
Calling out the fake gangsta rappers in 93 who were ruining the craft.
I agree
the year or two before or after it took its dark turn during the infamous meeting
Name 5🤔
@@dimviesel You know who they were. We all do.
@@budlight2969 facts! More people need to be educated on that meeting
Back when beats were crafty put together. Now just bass on top of bass.
this music was way ahead of its time. today's music has absolutely nothing individual to offer. Jeru was an asset!
This beat is fire
Stupid fire
DAMN THIS SOUND DRIVES ME CRAZY...... TALKIN' BOUT THAT FLOW????....
Freaky Freaky Freaking Flow. Love it. Absolutely a Classic.
2020 NJ still listening ❤🖤💚 stay militant
This is prolly the solidest shit that was ever spit
That beat drop is so CRAZY!!!
So many quotables,.quotables everywhere!!!!
All I will say is Wow. I remember when this video came out.
If I could go back
A straight poet! Perfection!
2024... One of my "I play that shit out" tracks... back in high school.. Still hella dope
A legend that is underrated....🤦🏾♂️
Wow that right there was so incredible he is without a doubt a true hip hop artist in the hip hop game
You don't know enough math to count the mics that I rip...Mad lyrics on this joint!
Lol..yes
This is a beat you CANNOT hide behind so perfect
This is probably the most minimal songs ive ever heard but yet it is so good
New york undercover brought me back to this classic. What so crazy is his album cover had the world trade center.
Years later. It actually happen. Unreal
toP 20 HIP HOP BEATS ALL TIME
I remember when we had met it was in Miami Florida it was a cool experience man he is a good friend of mine and me and him still kick it all these years later his music to me is amazing man I just need his album to complete my album collection the price is pretty cheap no wonder I could not find it at target
