If you want to redefine the state of populist mores, and unquestionable, you must have utmost wisdom as your strongest weapon. Even the most intelligent people can "slip up" and be misguided, if they're not listening to HOW a message is being said. People complain about things never changing, yet won't do a damn thing themselves to initiate it - being perfectly fine as sideline crud. The kind of fools who don't even try to better their own quality standards of living, yet criticize those who have, and done the work to get there

So, how do you undo a clusterfuck of headbutting viewpoints, outdated prejudices, negative biases and ineffective ideologies? As a rapper, you can be an analyst of the issues and sift through it, point by point. But nobody wants to "speak up" as one, bragging and insulting is far more important
It wouldn't be long until Jeru's debut "The Sun Rises In The East", settled this debacle once and for all

His approach was deliberate: mic charisma of a sage, lyricism illuminated, topics intellectually stimulating, delivery spoken the way a true Philosopher's prose should be.

Schemes become "disjointed", reflected in Jeru's style and own perspective, away from everyone else - true in NYC's smog of closed-minded, overcrowded selfishness

There's a song that captures the whole point of his way of seeing things versus everyone else's, and reality checking an issue that was complicating the city's subcultural problems - gun violence and gangbanging. It's "Come Clean", advocating for forthcoming instead of bravado, and setting things straight, and not crooked with twisting the facts
