Best Of Jeru The Damaja (Crooklyn's Classic Mix)
Jeru the Damaja had an under the radar beef with fellow Brooklyn head , The Notorious B.I.G.. It may have started with Jeru's song "One Day" from his second album where he claimed that Bad Boy Records was kidnapping hip hop music. Although, Notorious B.I.G. was not mentioned by name like his business partner and friend Puff Daddy, he took offense and responded with "Kick in the Door" from his 1997 album, Life After Death. The track had various disses towards Nas, but it was mainly directed at Jeru the Damaja, and even dissed the track's producer, DJ Premier, for being a partner of Jeru. Jeru the Damaja had previously attacked the song, "Player's Anthem," by Junior M.A.F.I.A. featuring Biggie by responding with "Ya Playin' Yaself." In 1995, Jeru was supposed to be featured on a Ready to Die track named "Brooklyn Niggas," but Puff Daddy took it off to maintain the album's "commercial vision."
Jeru's first two albums were completely produced by DJ Premier, but they suddenly stopped working together after 1996 for unknown reasons. Some speculate that his relationship with Biggie may have caused this. In fact, the beat of Notorious B.I.G.'s "10 Crack Commandments" was originally used as a Hot 97 promo beat for Jeru the Damaja. Most consider Jeru's feud with Premier to be a result of financial disputes. Jeru the Damaja made an unreleased song named "Friends" as a diss to the whole Gang Starr Foundation of which DJ Premier is the co-leader.
Jeru dissed The Fugees on his 1996 song, "Black Cowboys," while The Fugees responded in the same year with "Zealots." Jeru also dissed Blahzay Blahzay on his 1996 song "Whatever," on which he claimed that he stole his style.

Gotta love the Damaja.. My brother put me onto Gangstarr when I was young and soon after I found Wrath of the Math, one of my illest cds I own. Props crook.
hmm... i read in an interview with jeru that him and biggie were friends, dj premier used to pick him and biggie up and drive them to the studio where premier and nas were recording illmatic. also read an interview with biggie where a bunch of people were just naming rappers and biggie gave em a rating of 1-10. he gave everyone a 1-6, then said (without anyone mentioning jeru or nas) that jeru and nas were the only rappers he'd give a 10. i think jeru just got pissed puffy was making biggie some soft r&b rapper and premier was still producing for biggie and he didnt like that.
