No he wasn't....real heads had all his shit.....remember, this is Hip Hop, just like Funk...there's tons of fans and we don't need radio and video's, as long as we can get access.
@@chriso8193 U didnt grow up in the being of hip hop and in the 80 and 90 took to levels that was unheard of and Jeru was underrated at that time plus not everyone copied styles like now
Depends on who the audience was... Suburban white kids in Alaska... Yeah they were just getting up on MC Hammer but in the hood... Any hood USA... Nawh these cats were on!
One of the hardest KRS verses, probably my favorite verse of his. Premiere is a genius, how he incorporates bucktown before the smif n wessun verse, unreal.
Not to get too technical, but based on, and adding on to the replies to your comment I say 1986-1996 was the best 10 years in hip-hop so I say both the 80s and 90s were the best 🎤🎤
Damn this is dope. Jeru stepped on this track so smooth and just floated on this spacey beat. That was impressive. Smif and Wesson put a perfect amount of grime on this. Love finding these random gems.
@@paulwright22 because this is on every single hiphop song in the 80s and 90s. i am a total oldhead but it's getting tiring. there is plenty and plenty of talent in hiphop out there today... you just needa look a little to find it and get your ears peeled off the radio. real hiphop is never on the radio
"Fall to your knees. Bring fruit. Ask advice. Put your rhymes on the altar. Burn em as a sacrifice" That line still gives me chills after all these years.
I was born in 98 so I can't speak on what it was like to have lived through these times but I have listened to a shit ton of 90's hip hop and I feel like this song embodies this era better than about any other song I've heard from this era. Idk what it is..the flow, the beat but it just so perfectly feels nostalgic and captures this era's sound! I love the collaboration between all these incredible artists to just rip this track too. I feel that the progression during the 90's were beyond its years so much so that since then we've regressed as a society as well as hip hop's state. I'll always come back to these gems. God bless the 90's!
As someone who grew up in this era, I'd say it's because all of the artists represent the diversity of hip hop styles at the time. Mad Lion = reggae dancehall-hop Doug = the party rapper and bearboxer and the OG at the time KRS = intellectual teacher Joe = east coast gangster/drug dealer S&W = gutter and grimy realness Jeru = afrocentric
@@lyfsabych Well said. I was telling sumone about how back then each MC was unique, with they own flow, image, style, presentation, delivery, sound. We don't have that anymore
Smif-N-Wessun were amazing. Discovered 'Dah Shinin'' album only recently and it's far and away one of the best Hip Hop albums i've ever heard and so few know of it. Just brilliant.

What happened to hip-hop is what happened to society as a whole -- those were young men raised in an environment that no longer exists. It's not even so much that the evil record companies are pushing brain dead garbage onto the masses anymore (though they are doing that), you just have whole generations of brain dead illiterates with 5-second attention spans. And neanderthal mumble rap is all they are capable of...
@fekstar127 ya playin yourself Intro: Yo, are you a pimp, a hustler?" "No I'm not." "Are you a man, and can you stand alone like a man has to sometimes?" "Yes I can." "Are you willing, to go out there and save the lives of our children, even if it means losing your own life?" "Yes I am." "I believe you Jeru, you're ready." You've no-no-nothing to worry about .. Pretty disgusting you are right.. A selfish, racist man who clearly put's his principles in the wrong spot

Love this joint first time I heard it was on Boot Camp Click "Search and Recover 3" mixtape!...KRS ONE was also my favorite, nigga is a encyclopedia himself lmao!
i miss these days.... i had this video on VHS. i used to record yo mtv raps & rap city.. i still have 11 tapes with at least 2hrs of videos per tape.. from 92-97
this is crazy. Gonna go full fan mode right now but j don't care lol. Premiere, Premo. In my book, one of the legends in music, but his production unreal There is a song by Paula Cole - Rhythm of Life. Genius. Prolific blend of two incredible artists, composing and writing an amazing piece of work. Boooom-da-boomboom baahhaaha (repeat..repeat&fade) lol THE PLANET GANG STARR this right here, rip guru - blessup! This joint is incomparable. Got me through, reasons indeed. Unbelievable - biggie Smalls Why this was the B- Side puff? Can't front of u if you were adamant about it.

Back when everyone had their own style and sounded completely different than anyone else
Hardcore Hip Hop
Most definitely
Which made these collabs so much better. They all managed to fit their styles on the beat seamlessly.

For real
KRS-One is still dope. You should join the OHHH group on FB. Old school hip-hop with KRS and the underground. The TRUE school
Da golden era forever!
It's still here as long as we represent
coz hes a freemason
Smif-N-Wessun! Folks used to go crazy when they part came up!
I was one
Their back & forth was amazing!
I could have this track on repeat for the rest of my life.
The energy from this track is incredible. Classic material
This IS Real Hip Hop Son 💯
[Verse 1: Mad Lion]
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why
Why does a DJ test and he end up die
I know, I know, I know, I can't explain
My copper shot just blow their brain
Who are the man with the gun inna his hand
Step up on the scene like Captain Caveman
You want the music everybody scream louder
Lick pure shot and smell the gun powder
[Verse 2: Doug E. Fresh]
On and on and on and on...
Yo, freestyle flow to make the crowd just go
The old to the new, the new to the old
{Beatbox} The rhythm be workin' up on me
The crowd be jumpin' up for me, the people are waitin' up on me
To enter the stage in a rage, Mad Lion's out the cage
Now it's time for me to engage, uhh
And bear witness, the lyrical fitness
The jumps, the dives, the leaps, are you gettin' this?
Next to step up, microphone check up
KRS-ONE, so come and get your wreck up
[Verse 3: KRS-ONE]
Our mother who art in Heaven
Number seven is the weapon
With the God, yes, I'm steppin'
Lyrically I'm never beggin', you know
I'm the difference between indo and oregano
Imagine how fresh I am now, I made these lyrics up a year ago
So, report back it was fat, fit, all that, quick
Pump that, drop the S-hit, I'm lyrically physically fit
Catch me buggin' on the mic, every day and every night
Every hour, every second, man, it don't stop, get it, get it
Yes, admit it when I'm way up in it
You can't hide 'cause my radar's goin' bibip bibip bibip
I reside in the watchtower, watchin' MCs land
Your career will be as short as my part in "Who's The Man"
Goddamn, I'm the pinnacle, yes, the metaphysical
Come to you as the rap god of lyrical syllable
Fall to your knees, bring fruit, ask advice
Put your rhymes on the altar, burn 'em as a sacrifice
The aroma reaches up to my nostril, I get hostile
Your lyrics are stiff like David Koppel
Yes, Premier rocks the track on time
KRS-ONE with off of the top of the head rhyme
Yeah, Fat Joe, you know you gotta flow
My man Doug E Fresh down with the one called KRS
We got the mad MCs up in the D&D
I'm out, G
[Verse 4: Fat Joe]
Yeah!
Motherfuckers know who's the best
If it ain't Fat Joe, then it must be Lord Finesse
Think not? Then show what you got
But don't grab this mic, the shit's too hot
I'm the born killer, nigga from the Bronx
Rappers talk shit but there's really no comp
Bring it on if you think you can hang
And if not, then let me do my thing
Yeah, so Smif-n-Wessun if you're down with me
Represent one time on the M-I-C
[Verse 5: Smif-n-Wessun]
Mr. Ripper, get your gear and prepare for war
Mr. Vickster, you ain't gotta tell me no more
'Cause what I see on the daily deals with reality
So, come follow we on this journey
Through Brooklyn
Where the crooks dwell in the projects overlookin'
In the form of the streets, you know them well
Bet your ass this grass is greener
Than a 20 sack of sensimila bought straight from Medina
You know the vibe when Smif-n-Wessun twist up the Thai
Peace to my people in the Ville, peace to my heads in the Stuy
We do or die, we test your stamina
So, any challenger, we pass the motherfucker off to the Damaja
[Verse 6: Jeru the Damaja]
Super scientifical madness
My status is the baddest every time I bless the apparatus
You wish to take me out, so you study
Meanwhile my clothes, mics and foes are left bloody
Cruddy, filthy from the ground on up
When I plan my attack, I doubt that you're ready
Rain on competition like razor sharp confetti
Kung Fu techniques from the perverted monastery
Sifu Ru manipulates the microphone
And rhymes like bullets penetrate your zone
See, we bring more drama than Kevin Costner
No, I'm not Jamaican, but, yes, I'm a Rasta
props
Thanks
