[@FryPoorGreedo]

DJ premier produced his entire 1st and 2nd albums. Both absolute classics

[@jessevasquez7917]

Wrath of the math🔥 And The sun rises in the east🔥

[@jessevasquez7917]

Also peep the cover on the sun rises on the east look at the twin towers😳🤔🤫

[@UBZUKki]

Stone fuckin cold classics💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@mc365mc]

Yall should check out Devine Design it has better songs in totality.

[@calebantrim3071]

No lies detected!

[@smittybenzo4693]

I was at my cousins house as a teen and her boyfriend came through and played this joint on a cassette. I said Wtf is this!? I never heard such rawness on gritty hard drums like that. When he told me, I immediately hopped in my car and went to get it from a record store. Yes a record store right before they started disappearing. 😁

[@cooljay2500]

I felt similar

[@coreyoz]

yup!

[@wellitsjustG]

yeah man

[@wreckab01]

Ive heard this song a thousand times.. and each time its like its the first time.. Shouts out to Jeru and Preme.. Dirty Rotten

[@dmagwaza]

Apparently, when Guru heard this beat, he told Premier he wished he'd given it to him! Classic.

[@AngelD68]

Imagine GURU on This SHEESH🔥

[@lethaldose2000]

This beat was made with Jeru in mind. So I don't think anyone could have rocked it the way the combo of Jeru and Primo made it come together.

[@pas8414]

Chinese water torture beat 🔥

[@robinmerrill1176]

A Perfect summation of Jeru... " the most non gansta, gansta i ever heard"

[@KingAhmadTv]

Facts 😂💯🔥

[@michalmazur997]

I love Jeru

[@joseburgos9654]

Hip hop in the 80's thru the 90's had more flavors than an ice cream shop. It's why that era is 2nd to none.

[@RAakaCHI-191]

Golden Era of Hip Hop from 86' to 96'! 🔥 No Doubt!

[@chillyice3573]

Peace young King 👑 👑 You struck gold with this classic. Primo set it off with the beat!! Jeru definitely one of the most underrated MCs. Gotta have your 3rd eye open 2 understand his lyrics!!!!

[@AngelD68]

Big facts

[@Sprite_525]

2:52 “this is the most non-gangsta gangsta” that’s the perfect summary Bro. Jeru sounded like he actually wanted to shoot people but just mentally lol 😆

[@theimpeccable1069]

Premo is too RAW!! PLUS those cuts ".. Can't Stop"! 🔥🔥🔥

[@antlove8723]

Peace King. Peace to the Family. Fam I couldn't wait for you to get to this one. Another grimey Brooklyn track. Premo produced his whole first 2 albums💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@EpisodiacSelections]

This sound at the time was alien to us! never heard anything like it. And when this Joint dropped you absolutely had no choice but to bang your head! Jeru. Killed the game back then! "I don't gang bang or shoot out, bang, bang The relentless lyrics, the only dope I slang I'm a true master, you can check my credentials 'Cause I choose to use my infinite potential Got a freaky, freaky, freaky, freaky flow" Class-sick-ness!

[@mariuscommodore849]

I love seeing your face when he said "Leave your 9s at home and bring your skills to the battle..." We are all thirsty for those vibes in the culture, then and now

[@joshedward2330]

King Ahmad, you NEVER cease to amaze me my guy! You know how I know you're a True Hip Hop head? You're a young Kat from this generation BUT yet you STILL seem to catch & understand older references from older generations. You know your history, you're aware, you learn & you pay attention! Not that you don't make a few mistakes here & there but that's a part of your growth & training in this Hip Hop knowledge. Unlike other young Kats, YOU ARE Humble & you seem to always learn from your mistakes. You are a worthy student of the culture. You may even fall under the category of a great young scholar. I admire you King. This is a great channel & platform you got here Brotha. You're paying your dues & earning your respect my G! Also, I'm not gonna lie to you but I think you're beyond what I was as a Hip hop head when I was your age. Your awareness, wisdom & knowledge at your age is impressive. You're about in the 24-29 age bracket right Ahmad? How old are you again my guy? I think I remember you saying it in a vid or live stream but I forgot. My Bad. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing King. You a real one Ahmad! Peace. ✌️🕊️

[@ericdennis3899]

Yo Ahmad This One Of Most Iconic Hip Hop Beats Ever Made In Hip Hop History And Jeru Is One Of The Best Underrated Conscious Rappers 💯💯💯💯

[@TravelsChases]

The sample is from a 1973 song by Shelly Manne called Infinity. It wasn't even a real song. It was sort of like an interlude between songs

[@d.j.w.6431]

Bro I was 16 when this dropped...I'm not exaggerating when I say I bumped the shiz outta this..in my boom box in the living..my walk man..and my little radio in my room constantly that year..I think it was 93..this video came on the Box..constantly..great memories man..glad u can recognize the illest hip hop ever written and produced 💯🗨

[@each1teach1academy43]

94!!! A classic year in hip hop

[@SupremeScientist]

Jeru was a beast. 🔥🔥🔥

[@djpastiche]

He is so underrated.

[@naturaw9]

Jeru The Damaja - "D. Original" video

[@fernandoparadacastillo5901]

Beats like Biggie's Unbelievable, Mos Def's Mathematics, A.G's Next Level and this one convince me that DJ Premier must be the greatest hip-hop producer oat. I mean, how do you come up with this stuff? 🤯

[@chrisv966]

You're asking about what beat/sound that Premier used, look up a song by Shelly Manne called "Infinity" #originalsamples

[@UnspokenHeard]

Jeru - 99.9% you shouldnt miss 😊

[@AngelD68]

I'm an ole head and still dj as a hobbie etc with the new controllers etc. This is a classic. Throw it on any party, it's bout to Hit🔥 how do you decide what songs you will be reacting to? You definitely have good taste young homie👌

[@smittycal]

Jeru!! Haven’t heard that name in a while. Now that’s hip hop for real!

[@lethaldose2000]

To sum it up Jeur's style is just so fresh and refreshing at the same time. With the perfect match of musical complexity in the ryhmes as you can find in the music. ------ I've listened to Jeru's first 3 album over 100 times each and they always seem fresh to me and I hear new things that I never heard before. ------ Qudos to any artist who can create art and have it reverberate decades later. ------- Plus some of these songs were in video games. So they live on and on.

[@anthonywilliams9415]

Run Run Shaw was part of the Shaw Brothers which had the Kung Fu movies on lock back in the 70's and 80's. That reference Jeru made to them was epic.

[@wellitsjustG]

Yeah man this needs to be played a lot. There a lot of great elements and layers. Very sophisticated rap.

[@paulwright2701]

what a tune using the onyx sample aswell pure 🔥🔥🔥

[@cooljay2500]

This album from beginning to end is fire!!

[@lethaldose2000]

The Amazing this about Jeru is his unorthodox, measured flow, combined with unexpected word empahsis. ------- In combo with Primo's production was a fresh approach to the producer-rapper combo. -------- The style of Jeru being so unorthodox unleashed Primo's compelete arsenal of beats, samples, ideas. Which is what took Primo from just one in the pack of producers to the tip of the spear in terms of production. -------- Only RZA, Dr Dre, and Pete Rock can even approach his level ofmusial sophistication ------They all took hiphop to levels none of u could have forseen.

[@tiagotv7697]

Fam you really impressing me and coming wit it with these reviews. 💯🎯💪🏾

[@each1teach1academy43]

This album is a classic. 90s Hip Hop unmatched

[@AlexSrouji]

Jeru is DOPE ! Pristine lyrics, amazing flow...this is probably one of the best rappers who ever held a mic. The man is a genius !

[@rayraydubb]

Yooo! There you go! Diggin in the crates! Classic! I had the tape!

[@akaLids77]

This was the shit back in the day. A song that went hard but was all about peaceful solutions to violent situations. Fuck your 9, and use your mind basically.

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

This whole album is a classic DJ premier produced every single track 🔥 💯

[@Hebrewson72]

Fiyah in the booth 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@didgerb72]

Another legendary tune from 'Original' Jeru.

[@BKLYN_TZU]

The intro of the guy with the dripping water on his forehead that is called Chinese Water Torcher it drives the person it's being done too mad but the "come clean"beat was a real game changer nobody back then never heard anything like this just like The East Flat Bush Project " Tried By 12" beat.

[@joeyrogers7017]

When the East is in the house!

[@damonjones1291]

"Crooklyn Dodgers '95 - The Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers", Jeru, O.C, & Chubb Rock🔥🔥

[@Taz_Rektah]

Dj Premier sampled Sonny Seeza verse from Onyx - Throw Ya Gunz “Uh Oh Hands up cause we dropping some shit” for the hook

[@ElectrikNYCfunK]

yeahhhhhhhhh gimmie that boombap!

[@kaykilla1000]

You should check out Crooklyn Dodgers 95 Jeru absolutely destroyed that track!! Definitely a hip-hop classic gem 💎

[@tyronetucker3093]

Classic hip hop at its best

[@nez998]

Lol at the most non-gangsta gangsta rap song, the accuracy

[@luciousthomas6141]

This beat was sooooooooooo bangin and innovative back in the day when it dropped. This beat was bananas! Everybody was sweating this beat back in the day. Sun Rises in the East was a dope album. Check out My Mind Spray!

[@rizzzlaaa]

He’s got the Twin Towers burning on his 94 debut album 😬😅

[@ArtisanWindchimes]

I’m surprised you didn’t do this one yet Ahmad

[@omararcher7105]

I'm happy to see you react to some of Jeru. Such an underrated lyricist . His albums were 🔥🔥💯

[@jerrycrookz1703]

Absolutely classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rvpid6944]

jeru the damaja is my favorite hiphop artist

[@dee65cee53]

Real NYC rap

[@carlhorton6831]

Rza said this sounds like water dripping 🔥🔥🔥

[@992ras]

Yeah I use to pump the shit out of this back in the day. He studied under Guru and Guru said he was one of the best MC’s

[@KingTey9845]

Preem murked this beat! And Jeru did the damn thang! #HeadNodTuff

[@toadstyle_5]

Salute, Ahmad! Love the Jeru review, brother! Premier laced him with the beats for the first 2 albums and that led to 2 classic releases. Check out Da Bichez (not what you'd expect ) and the sequel to that song is on album 2, it's called Me or The Papes. Both are dope songs. You should review the entire 2nd album Wrath Of The Math.

[@superchill4795]

This a fire az reaction. Dope song. Hip hop at its realness.

[@c3mi979]

"... cuz any idiot can let off a Glock"

[@Cosmic86x]

Amazing track! Another highly suggested legendary track: Afu-Ra - Defeat (prod. by DJ Premier)

[@Matt_DC]

Premo has a So Wassup Episode about creating that beat on his channel. It actually wasn't supposed to be finished like that but Jeru liked that Raw style and didn't want any instruments over it. And it's indeed a Sample from a percussion artist

[@chokethewoke3412]

Such an underrated mc! Especially on a preemo beat.respect for this one 👑

[@melvinwomack3717]

Yes man Yes💥💥💥

[@Noiseferaofficial]

Can't wait to work with him

[@munganduchivubwe]

You wanna front, what? Jump up and get bucked If you're feeling lucky duck, then press your luck❤❤❤❤❤

[@teeblack06]

Jeru definitely underrated and this is a dope beat by DJ Premier.

[@John-q5p9m]

If you're in this Era, find K-solo and Redman in 'it's like that'

[@olschoolTonyCarter]

Jeru Da Damaja- D. ORIGINAL

[@Phuriusstilez]

My peeps came out of this crew. Afu Ra and perverted monks. Also cursed a little but he never had to curse for any shock value.😊

[@KingTey9845]

D. ORIGINAL - Jeru Da Damaja

[@wellitsjustG]

in basketball this is a point gaurd we never should have let get the ball at all!

[@mazaltawab9360]

Because he's not promoting crime?

[@lamontcurry7033]

Thanks

[@biggcebo]

Do a Jeru run...its worth it...Mental Stamina

[@liquidgeorge]

Oh this is one of my favourite Hip-Hop tracks ever. So ill.

[@Brozay401]

Listen to D.I.T.C. One Day. Big L. Pure fire🔥🔥🔥. Then Big L & Herb Mcgruff. 560. They both go crazy

[@universallordgator]

Jeru's second album was better than his first but by 1996 Hip-Hop shifted to something prettier. He got lost in the soft sauce. Shit got real shiny and he was too rugged.

[@RAakaCHI-191]

Jeru 1st album was Classic! This song was on every booming system that Summer! Aanother great Reaction. Keep digging the Crates from that Era, perhaps jump into Black Moon next.

[@gregorynetus5557]

One of the best rap songs ever.jeru the damaja come clean is a masterpiece.word up son

[@omarsabeur9039]

Jungle music is my fav track from this album

[@MentuSun]

GREW UP 3 BLOCKS DOWN FROM THE GOD I WAS YOUNG THO, HE WAS COOL WITH MY SISTERS THEY OLDER

[@99alfailiwaqain51]

Peace To The Gods! Linden Boulevard?

[@MrMerk31]

Oh Oh heads up cause we dropping some shit!!! ONYX - Throw ya guns in the air (1992) Leave ya nines at home and bring ya skillz to the battle!!!

[@pmidaz]

[@tallgodheru7397]

...and you STILL GOTTA CHECK that Pete Rock Remix to "Can't Stop The Prophet" 💯💯💯💯 Peace fam!!

[@iTSY0URb0YEE]

I still have the cassette

[@wesshoemaker5513]

[@amexemoor443]

His Debut The Sun Rises in the East deserves a full album review on your channel

[@isislaz]

Can't believe this is your first time hearing this!

[@loudiamonds6587]

A banga.. Jeru Nice

[@davengreen7061]

Gotta check out the song One day 🔥

[@tywayne3]

Not sure if its just me but I think this may be about when we started noticing Premo beats but didn't necessarily know Premiere did beats for other artists.

[@lanceparker4796]

Jeru was that dude

[@davidrosario9806]

Peep the cover art of this album. Has the twin towers in flames. Crazy

[@gmarcello6912]

Great Reaction!!! Jeru the damaja, something about them Mc from Brooklyn,,if you feeling this,,"Buckshot"Black moon ,,,how many Mc,,track has this same energy real talk,,

[@DjcHuCkNiCe1]

Snot Box = 👃🏾 "Get your snot box bust you press up on this"

[@readybeeill]

The sample from the start of the song can be found in this track. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKDbaYCinq2Cm6M

[@glennjohn6408]

hats good , you gotta do a reaction on the artifacts !!!!!!! Wrong side of the rack /ultamite

[@Jupitersaturnn]

This album is an underrated classic if u ever get a chance do a reaction to “ mental stamina “ or “ ain’t the devil happy”

[@shawnmoe1123]

This was a straight diss to the west coast period but it was 🔥 notice the 64 impala andche mentions you won’t survive getting lost in Brooklyn etc

[@tonyacts]

Alright, now you should check out his song "Ya Playin' Yaself" Another banger. Also, check out the Blahzay Blahzay song "Danger" it has Jeru on the hook. Also a banger.

[@KtotheG]

That beat uses a sample of Shelly Manne's "Infinity." I think it's electronic, but he might've used water.
