Jeru The Damaja: Tiny Desk Home Concert

- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
April 30, 2020 | Abby O'Neill -- Jeru the Damaja, the emcee who broke out in 1992 on Gang Starr's classic album Daily Operation, jumped at the opportunity to contribute to the Tiny Desk home concert series. He used the concert to share his inspiring philosophy of self-knowledge. Jeru drops lyrics about what it takes to achieve self-actualization in tough conditions for not just himself, but for the culture.
Jeru shares a medley of his classics including "Can't Stop the Prophet" and "My Mind Spray," His prescient lyrics remain as relevant as ever as he addresses the deepening fissures of socioeconomic inequalities exposed by the coronavirus crisis. He closes his set from his home in Berlin with a new song, "The Power," and offers up a message we all need: "No matter who you are, the power resides in you...We can overcome anything if you put your mind to it, you just can't get in your mind too much." The prophet cannot be stopped.

We need this music all over again SUN.
It's 2020 and Jeru is still ahead of time. 💜💯
Truth
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.
@@BreuckelensFinest For sure. I miss the days of lyricists
Agreed!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
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!
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
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.
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!

I honestly cant believe how good he sounds..wow good for him!
what were you expecting?
I mean...he's only 48.
One of my favorite ALL TIME MC’s!
Nothing but mad respect to the God MC....i been here since 97' still bumping JERU
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.
Wicked ....old days just come back ......Jeru Bless
So glad I was in my early teens to experience the emergance of Jeru and The Sun rises in the East.
through out my travels....... thank you Damaja

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 !
I was just listening to The Sun Rises in the East this morning...so good to get a heavy dose of Jeru today!
Real hip hop will never die
Lockdown. Sunny evening. A few light ales. And ...Jeru the Damaja on NPR? This is medicine. Thank you JtD and NPR.
