1. The Beatnuts are a hip hop group and production duo from Queens, New York City. Its current members are JuJu and Psycho Les. JuJu (born Jerry Tineo on December 4, 1968) is Dominican American from Corona and Psycho Les (born Lester Fernandez on April 10, 1972) is a Colombian American from Jackson Heights. The Beatnuts were originally a trio before Kool Fashion, now known as Al' Tariq, left the group to start a solo career. The Mighty V.I.C. (Groove Merchantz, Ghetto Pros) was also a member of The Beatnuts' production team for a while.
Early on in their career they produced whole albums for Posse members Common Sense and Chi-Ali. Their production is noted as some of the finest and most accomplished, if unheralded, in all of hip-hop, often intricately detailed (as in their finely honed work for Mos Def on two tracks from Black on Both Sides) but more regularly barnstorming, club-friendly, flourish-laden party music. Jennifer Lopez used their track "Watch Out Now" as the instrumental for her song "Jenny from the Block". The Beatnuts produced more songs for the artists they had previously collaborated with as well as Fat Joe, Suprême NTM and Da Youngsta's. At the same time, The Beatnuts made their name as remix specialists by remixing songs for MC Lyte, Da Lench Mob, Naughty by Nature, Jomanda and others.
The Beatnuts are noted for being unabashedly, bullishly ribald and in-your-face performers. Recent Beatnuts albums are characterised by more Latin influences.
Less known is they are considered part of the Native Tongues collective. The Beatnuts are the only Latino members of the Native Tongues collective. Although only peripheral members, they are routinely acknowledged by Q-Tip.

We got that funk on lock "Ya, ya better, ask somebody"

A-YO JUJU "Hit me with that shit one time" - Method man
JuJu:
It's the hardcore funk come get your fill
From the pistol packin' punk raisin' hell with the dug grill
Nobody cares what I think so I drink
Causin' mad trouble pullin' guns in an eyeblink
From the depths of hell I make it known son
My mind frame makes MC's swallow they own tongue
I dismantle competition it's a sick shame
When I lose my composition and inflict pain
Doin' what I gotta do to obtain cash
Accountable for more dead bodies than a plane crash
I make it clear I'm a never be forgotten
And you couldn't find another MC that's more rotten
It's the junkyard nigga get your shit straight
Peace to all my niggas in Queens pushin' big weight
Rick Jan always takin' care of business
A shout to Coronna and I'm out with the quickness

Blastin' for your listenin' pleasure attitude ? in the funky measures

You need to wake up bro and smell the fuckin' chocolate
Hocus pocus you can try to focus
But you won't see me I see you like fuckin' Oprah's
Fat ass upon a fatass screen
Slice your Adams apple, kiwi strawberry snapple
Hook
The Beatnuts' song "Hit Me With That" is a prime example of East Coast hardcore hip hop. The lyrics are complex and full of wordplay, with each member of the group showcasing their own unique style. The opening lines of the song set the tone for what's to come, as they declare that they have the funk "on lock" and challenge listeners to "ask somebody" if they don't believe it.
The verses that follow are full of references to violence and drug use, with JuJu boasting about his pistol-packing ways and his ability to make MCs "swallow their own tongue." He also gives a nod to his hometown of Queens and shouts out his friends in the drug trade. Al Tariq's verse is more sexually explicit, as he talks about his ability to attract women and his desire to "slide [his] shit up in her motherfuckin' rectum." Psycho Les' verse is similarly aggressive, with references to guns and cocaine, but he also takes a more philosophical tone, urging listeners to "wake up bro and smell the fuckin' chocolate."

Thats the beauty of music.. you don't have to be born in the generation for it to be a part of your soundtrack of a time in your life. I remember my friends and I listening to this for the summer of 2011, our high school freshman year. Countless beers, parties and blunts to this, just like the 90s, I am sure. Love from Weekhawken NJ

Album doesn't get enough credit. For someone raised on Illmatic & 36 Chambers - I come back to this album more than others than are considered seminal for the era.
