Its safe to say Jeru was one of the first rappers back in the 90s calling out the Diddler when everyone kept their mouth shut & then the industry had him blackballed because of that. Jeru knew a lot of what was really going on & he has been trying to tell y'all but yall wasn't listening
So many great points in this interview. What a great Emcee who knew what was up. 0:17, "A lot of things have changed." lolol. Wow, if that interviewer only knew how bad it would end up... If they were saying 1996 hip-hop was losing it, imagine how they feel today.
lifestraight +lifestraight Throughout the song, they uses the bottle sample from The Warriors movie that Puffy made popular. "Bad Boy, Come out and play ...."
Yeah. I wasn't surprised. Back in that year, Contemporary R&B was coming strong and was being called Real Hip Hop. Most things in days really do be getting watered down.
Jeru always knew the truth about Puffy
So many dope vinyls in the background, MC Eiht Death Threatz, Real Live Shit, MC Lyte, Big Noyd. I would love to be in a store like that.
"We'll see if Puff knows what's up
'Cause he's the one gettin' him drunk and fuckin' his mind up"
"My name ain't puff and I ain't got loot to waste"
He's a sophisticated rapper. We truly need more of this now.
Boy was he right!!
+lifestraight I said the same thing to myself
even back in the 96 shit was being commercialized.
keep it real. dope mcs and phat beats.
Bro spoke the truth about Puff and the industry! You can’t stop the prophet
daymn, jeru looks pretty similar to 50 cent!!! except for one crucial difference, he is into the REAL hip hop!!!

Let's all make a petition agreeing that Jeru The Damaja & Afu-Ra should do a Spiritual Stamania song, Production done by Premier.
And smack dab in the middle was hip hop with a Versace suit on.
Those years were that year. And we still love them.

Such a great voice
Man was jeru right about hip pop changing for the worse and being commercialized, now we see all this gay feminist shit going on along with bad lyrics
I was impressed by that interviewer, and jeru always keepin it real
Thank you.
0:44 He didn't name Foxy Brown or Puff in "Ya Playin' Yaself". He mentioned them in another song on the album called "One Day".
+lifestraight Puffy was referenced in the music.
Rap, Lies and Videotape In "One Day" and "Me and the Papes", but I don't think he was mentioned on "Ya Playin Yaself".

Rap, Lies and Videotape The interviewer said he named them on the record, I was just clearing up the fact that he didn't.
lifestraight I'm the interviewer and you're right about that. Thanks for watching.
94 WAS THAT YEAR!
Co-sign ALL DAY!!!!! How about a "Spiritual Stamina" ALBUM considering the state of hip-hop right now.
Yeah. I wasn't surprised. Back in that year, Contemporary R&B was coming strong and was being called Real Hip Hop. Most things in days really do be getting watered down.
