Jeru

phatmag: And how do you feel it's going?

Jeru: It's well, it's well, it's the most satisfying feeling in the world you know what I am saying. To be able to have an idea and make it into a living thing, you know.

phatmag: Did you find being on someone else's label and working under someone else's production restricting?

Jeru: I mean the production no, because I always had a say in what I rhyme to, beats wasn't just made and handed to me. I always had some part in the production, saying I want this sound, I want this sound, I want that, I want that, make my vocal sound like this, so that'sŠ. you know like I said before, that's why all the records that we did before sound different from all the other records, because it was also my influence in there. You know, it's not difficult it's easier, because you're doing every thing yourself, you know, it's like would taking a shit be easier if somebody you know what I am saying had to do it for you? Had to sit you down and wipe your arse nah! It's quicker and easier and better and more satisfying when you do it yourself.

 

 

phatmag: How do you think the coming US election will effect you?

Jeru: No matter who wins I'm f@#$ed.

phatmag:What makes you say that?

Jeru: I mean that's the system, I'm a black man what you talking about? You know, no matter where you at in the world you're f@#$ed. In Africa you know what I am saying, so that's the system.

phatmag: Do you think there would soon be a black president?

Jeru: I don't know, I don't know, not in my lifetime, I don't think.

Jeru: I'll answer you like that.

phatmag: On a lighter note. What do you think of the English girls, cause I've heard you've been busy?

Jeru: What do I think of the English girls? I like the English girls, I think they are nice, cute, every thing. You know, I just like black women you know, I like Asian girls, you know what I'm saying. So what's up?

phatmag: So I've heard you've been busy, so what?, have you sorted yourself out?

Jeru: With what? Girls?

phatmag: Hmm yeah!

Jeru: Hey! You know, I don't kiss and tell.
