1. A American Hip Hop group.
2. A Japanese instrumental latin jazz-fusion group.

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.

Overall Meaning

The Beatnuts's song "Intro" starts with an introduction by "Intoxicated Demons" which set the tone for the entire album. The lyrics have no clear meaning, but they are characterized by disjointed phrases, repetitions and scratches that do not seem to follow a definite pattern but aim to display the talent of the producers. The first few lines of the lyrics repeatedly declare that The Beatnuts are famous, while the subsequent lines talk about a party and the host's intention to throw it. The phrase "Yes, I was a virgin before I got here tonight" bounces up a few times, cheerfully implying that the host's guests have rendered him sexless. The song seems to reflect the group's irreverent style, where the music is less about meaning and more about the sound and the mood. The song gives a good idea of what to expect from the album and sets the tone for the tracks that follow.

One of the most underrated Hip Hop groups, and underrated Hip Hop albums ever ! Let me just say as Black Man, who saw the birth of Hip Hop in the Boogie Down Bronx in the 70s, it’s time we give the Latinos the credit they deserve, for their contribution to the Hip Hop game !

Let me school you my man, rap is a part of the hip hop culture, along with the language, the, dress, the music, and the dance. If you talked to The Beatnuts, or any true hip hop person, Jay Z, Biggie, Krs1 or whoever is true to the culture, and art form, they would tell you that. I was born and raised in the Bronx, when and where it all started. So what I have forgotten about hip hop, or what you call rap is more than you will ever know. You do your homework, read some books on it, like the Adventures Of GrandMaster Flash, Rakim’s Sweat The Technique. Know what you are talking about, before you call someone what they are not. Try to be respectful which the policy of the YouTube comments.
