pt 3 of 5

Rare 90s footage of hip-hop artists debating issues surrounding police brutality. In this segment (3 of 5) Jeru defends his tendency to label all white people as his enemy. Lauryn counters with her belief that economic empowerment is the means to real change. Peep all segments and you’ll come across Jeru The Damaja, Lauryn Hill, Method Man, Frankie Cutlass, Irv Gotti and more.

Crazy Sam’s official youtube channel has a lot of nuggets for fans highlighting his humor and community activism. After the jump Sammy Mack and the late ODB go on about ex-President Bush.


ODB & Crazy Sam: Pres Bush, we got love for you n***a!!
