Criminally Underrated. Hip Hop is Culture not worshiping money. Jeru called out puff daddy, 2pac called out puff daddy. Puff and Suge actually work for the same organized crime family and had Pac and Biggie ASSASSINATED.(Check the L.A. Times article) But so called hardcore rappers don't have the GUTS to speak the truth about the people who have tried to kill REAL HIP HOP which is a movement , culture, art, and many other things. Jeru represents what HIP-HOP is. Real Hip-Hop will never Die.

[@Hembane]

We've lost something in recent years that old school gave us, namely conscious politics. Thanks for posting a tune that is even more relevant today. Peace.

[@mccobb3221]

Everybody in the African Community needs to put this song in their i-pod, car stereo, and in your home stereo. I love this GUYS MUSIC!

[@binarystar89]

I swear Jeru has the most original delivery mixed with some of the best lyrics. Combine that with some of the best production Premo has to offer and you have two of the best albums I've ever heard.

[@ameilavideosofkenneth4099]

Juru da damager is a 5 percentage spiritually supporting reality

[@NobuWatts]

The REAL most underrated in the game. He should've easily been as big as Jay Z and Busta and all them.

[@barlog20]

This song came out like 16 years ago and this song is still applies to todays rappers.This song is a true classic and Jeru has always been one of my favorite conscious rapper.And the people who voted dislike is the people Jeru talking about that `s why they voted dislike.

[@stuadam4442]

Intelligent emcee + Dope producer = Straight up Hip Hop! Classic.

[@rodsig78]

Jeru was on some real level hip-hop here folks and he was talking this back in 96'. I miss joints like this man, need some real shit brought back to the forefront.

[@JAMmOatZart]

KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING

[@drake1673]

one of my favorite songs by jeru!!! he just murders this primo beat. it's like this was purposely made for jeru and no one else. who else could do any justice to a beat like this???

[@Tonik23]

Wrath of the Math is one of my Fav albums of all time!

[@jasonpfinch]

My favourite song of all time, even though I love KRS-One more.

[@sashtopone]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 King Style 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@G0dspelronin]

Preach it!!! The days of Queen Latifah and Public Enemy are gone. No more education, just empty messages...

[@MEXIKAYOTL2012]

Best lyric on this track is.... " I never knew Hustlers confessed on stereo" Jeru!!! this album is sickness!

[@danrodriguez982]

I could not agree more. Jeru was getting mad love in the early to mid 90's.

[@jeeps005]

this is timeless.. Its even better now than it was b4 imo. Its just so much more relevant to me than it used to be when i was a kid. Pure genius Jeru. "Knowledge, wisdom and understanding brings long life and health think anything else and ya playin ya self."

[@vitorbelfort]

this man speaks truth, pure intellect and real music. rap is certainly not music anymore, its pop which isnt anything special. this shit is special

[@JagoFettNZ]

The ' Villain ' is the Director, star and writer of one of the greatest comedy movies EVER MADE !!. "KUNG-FU HUSTLE "

[@HellaHellaHellaSauce]

jeru can be funky and real at the same time, and those two things alone make him better than 99% of hip-hop

[@JBAN81]

one of the most slept on emcee's out there! all you shinny suit rapper loving cats won't like this but this is real hip hop. shut and listen...and love

[@MentalPistol]

Still to this day say that Jeru is one of the illest in history. Happy to have had to the chance to bump into him at the old Beat Street downtown BK in 97.

[@ecee77]

The funny thing is.... This song is old, but still very relevant. This is hip-hop... Not the commercial/product placement fest we have to listen to today. Thank god for cd's and mp3's....

[@sandman9000]

The best rap video ever.......bar nun.From Brooklyn turning 40 on Friday,This is real Hip Hop.

[@jameone]

one of the most player hated, underrated ,illest mc's of our time, i miss this ill rhymin, brings back memories kid, ask suckers about jeru, theyve never heard of him, i like that, i want his rhymes all to myself. respect

[@spikew10]

This reflects most rappers and societys today. This is possibly the most important rap song ever!

[@suave_d]

You are exactly right. True MCs will always speak righteously because they do not always represent "corporate interests." They represent cultural, real life applications. They are the antithesis of "rappers" who will say ANYTHING to sell a record.

[@pbrown711]

This has to be one of my favorite Preemo beats ever!!!!!!!

[@timoverton7030]

Still relevant today. Obama should have played this at that speech about the Oregon shootings.

[@poetgrande08]

I just found a brand new copy of "Wrath Of The Math" on vinyl 5 days ago and it hasn't left my turntable. This is REAL HIP HOP and reminds me of some great times I had in The NAVY back in the 90's. The video is a classic that actually enhances the track, which is a D.J. Premier masterpiece. Criminally underrated artist and LP that was shamefully under-promoted.

[@childgarvey]

One of the best Hip Hop classics in terms of content ever.

[@bkr0127]

Man, I've been sleeping on Jeru for a while now. He's dope as hell.

[@mdk29]

Real hip hop with bars! My generation right her. Its still getting played in 2015. Death to wack shit today.

[@TruckerLerone]

I never knew hustlers confessed in stereo :-)

[@poe-tryy729]

jeru dismantled biggie and the badboy crew in this. sun rises in the east> ready to die he wasnt about to rap about material bs and because he wasnt apart of puffs bling era he didnt blow up : / his 07 and 2014 albums are like time machines though!

[@Achiez-z]

Big words there (pun definitely intended). I like them both, but in my opinion Ready to Die and The Sun Rises in the East are tied. Both unbelievably great albums. I have some days where I rather listen to TSRITE instead of Ready to Die and vice versa.

[@tskone8326]

POE-try Y / A Lyrical Pugilist/ a part of the Gang Starr Foundation also GENIUS LEVEL in my eye 👁

[@channel_abc123_]

Ya Playin yaself is in the "Wrath of Math" Album

[@suave_d]

@@Achiez-z Both albums are good, but Ready To Die had more skippable tracks, IMO. I can listen to The Sun Rises In The East from start to finish. I give the edge to Jeru.

[@mufongo]

the fight scenes in this vid are actually pretty dope.. damn..i love hip hop

[@Heroinedown]

A visionary, that's what he was since most of these things are still valuable for todays so called rappers...

[@sotocapo]

knowledge, wisdom and understanding are the keys to wealth....hmmm droppin jewels on the gods around the earth in mass production. no doubt jeru!!!

[@MrJaywood87]

brothas should listen to this right now. cause everything he is saying stands today. Real hip-hop

[@laiyenma]

OH MY GODD No way, the place they filmed it is my hometown,Never seen a gangsta rap video that is made in hong kong. Thats soooo dope

[@YaYaMan]

+laiyenma Its not gangsta rap... its anti-gangsta rap ;-)

[@laiyenma]

lol

[@MuzikJunky]

Conscious hip-hop! Peace.

[@mattfinn]

Fully expected a huge Kung Fu fight the first time I went to HK! Best city in the world!

[@itayizinzombe947]

Not gansta but I love Hong Kong though, beautiful place!

[@raizo5577]

I had to hear it 3 times, I miss real hip hop.......

[@msvybe916]

Just came across dude 2day on MTV Jams. Hella love his rappin ass style. This is what I always loved about East Coast hip hip. I luv his annunciation...Dude is sick. I'm a new fan.

[@terrencewilburn9081]

To the 51 people who disliked this classic track, you're playing yourself.

[@eZeKr3zT]

this is hip-hop.. much love straight from South Los Angeles..

[@brollya]

[@pauljones731]

Saw Jeru in Hackney in 2001, what a legend!

[@abuben12]

Perfect voice & rhytm of rapping, sounds chilled and decent. Word up and respect to real hip hop.

[@oldfilikin]

HipHop at it's greatest, this rapper has flow like no other an them beats man, pure hypnotise me

[@geniusgza7]

hes a real emcee....peace jeru...ur a legend 2 me!

[@armonocracy]

One of the most creative & entertaining hip hop videos ever! I remember this back in 96. And his message is more relavent today than ever in this world of carbon-copied rap music which speaks on shallow/overplayed topics that have no conscience.

[@DoubleAG90]

thank you so much for leavin dis video on youtube....i been lookin fo dis for so long..since the first time i seen dis video on tv

[@suave_d]

Much respect to you. You seem to be very wise beyond your years.

[@tomeruzan2911]

great song. great flow great lyrics and great production.. love it.

[@yal100]

What a novel concept, speaking english and delivering a message, hello! Nobody would every call Jeru a minstrel like you Soulja Boy and your kind in the game today. Believe that! "You fools".

[@matlloydpoet]

One of the best tunes and videos ever!!!!!

[@DoubleAG90]

YESSSS....i remember recording this to vhs..man i loved this..i was saying the words the next day of school lol

[@suave_d]

That Crane style was dope -- even though, he got his ass kicked. Lol

[@uzieric1]

99.9% of rappers in the bizz today are for sure.... PLAYIN THEMSELVES'

[@drixxxe1]

Che cartella raga!!!!! Paura e panico che stile!!! Big up!

[@valley-jo-apache6515]

Anytime a song can predict the future of Hip hop like this song did that's hands down to me a classic..... Sad truth is what he's talking about just seems to get worse every year.( You fools you work all week to give back the devil his loot for jewels...

[@EmpOnelove]

Serious.. ; 00- Heavy .. straight.. Real Talk.. b ig ups and Respect.. . Thanks Adamant Station for uploading.

[@JesseFlowinz]

Thanks for posting this video, haven't seen it since pop up video aired it like 10 years ago for having the most kicks and karate chops EVER in a music video! Hands down, Premo, Jeru and Afu-Ra was illing back in the 90s!

[@44danoc]

Yo Premo just bless cats with the hottest beats. Premo is my #1 hiphop producer ever!!!!

[@dablakryu]

It was ill in 96 & it's sounds even better in 2013! It's a shame that hip hop didn't heed the warning.Jeru had some ill videos.

[@YesLioness]

REAL HIP HOP MUSIC! VOCALS, BEATS, TIGHT RHYMES & MEANING in the MESSAGE!

[@sumwan923]

Thanks for your visit in Greece master! what a cool guy, for real..

[@jfitchet]

Haven't seen this in years, good post. I agree with the intelligent rap quote, you don't see art like this around today. It's all about the big willy style nowadays.

[@AllyLamont]

Absolute, 100%, undisputable stone cold classic.

[@Forty6andDeuX]

I remember this video coming on late on that station that used to play videos... M something or another. Great song and video.

[@dabstick]

im on a jeru journey! iv been sleepin jeru much needed dopeness

[@JupilAire]

Yeah Jeruuuuu the Damajaaaaa! Men this guy has so dam nice lyrics! First & second awsome albums produced by Dj Premier, and he made his first step on "I'm the Man" of Gangstarr's Deadly Operations album.

[@12tribeff]

E.H.HTP Much respect this guys pure truth. If you cant respect yourself how can u expect respect from anyone else. Ash-Tree

[@speno730]

this cut was a response to Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "Players Anthem"... listen to how DJ Premier uses the same bass tone, but flips the bass line. He also uses the same clave sound.. Jeru raggin' on Bad Boy again!! I love it..

[@mindmasterd]

this is one of the throwdest vids i've ever seen..... much respect Jeru and Afu

[@klubstompers]

One of the best trax ever!! Sick beat and the message is so true!! What happened to hip hop? Now it's all; ice, bling, big rims, $. I can't relate to that shit, livin like a predator. "what eva happened to the M.C., times done changed for the M.C."

[@noDwitheNVy]

Great song, fun video. Back when videos were still creative. I liked the big money braggin MC's of the day too, but it was cool to hear Jeru do something that would really make you think.

[@Psa1mist9]

Prophet for real!! Exposing the FAKE RAPPERZ... "I Never Knew Hustlas confessed on STEREO" Damn Jeru, we need ALOT MORE OF THIS!!

[@420drunken1]

i bought this when it came out- on casette! still badass today!

[@Chunkypopscrak]

nice view of reality, nice way to show the truth we're playing ourselves...

[@Sjoepiepap]

really great this guy, saw him bout 2 years back.

[@rasbrandon]

big up jeru for being the peaceful warrior that he is

[@anthonymcgrath]

[@voidenter]

[@herby2475]

[@suave_d]

This brings back good memories. This is a dope video!

[@maridjata11]

the conscience of hip hop like the root,talib kwali,mos def etc...jeru is simply the damaja;say outloud what you think low!!!!!!!!!

[@xFreestyleKingx]

real hip hop!!! throw back memories!! luv this

[@GhaadCity]

he aint disappear.... jeru still doing his thing... If you listen to his song its perfectly understandable why u dont hear from him. This dude spits on another level. he dont talk about guns and drugs and hoes so his type of rap will never go mainstream cuz guns drugs and sex $ELL$

[@ukmonk]

the beat is great and what an awesome video!! love the mix of hong kong style action with hip hop flavor :)

[@SonantLucidity]

ADAMNT - I know you added this over two years ago...but all the same, thank you very much.

[@keymusic100]

yo this one of the timeless master pieces.this relvant today.LISTEN!

[@VuPhamMusic]

Real hip hop!

[@manchild1219]

his first two albums are classics in my mind both produced by primo! nuff said.

[@samiidris]

I Love This Song!!!! .....Hip-Hop I miss you and will remain underground till you come back .

[@135rickjames1]

Jeru's lyrics and Primo's beat=awesome

[@danynumero6]

It makes me mad how there are people like jeru who is of the most intelligent artists out there, but people pay no attention to him because they dont care about getting smarter and would rather stay ignorant listening to lil wayne.
