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.

It's the Beatnuts
[Unverified]
Hey world, come here
Hey world, come here
What you thought, I couldn't afford another drink?
Watch me slide, through the crowd in place
To chill backstage, anybody acts strange
Smack them with the black gauze
I flow smooth to this
While you don't even know how to move to this
But it is the Beatnuts, we don't have to proof shit
Anything we drop is the shit, certified blazing
It ain't honeys like Marie Jason
Bless and seven days like a hollow daisin'
After each show, the telle is like a peepshow
Doggie steelo, is how we hit each hoe
If I don't get you now, I'ma gonna get you next tour
Shorty looking like she wants to explore
Shorty looking like she wants to have sex raw
Shorty looking like enough of that, enough of that
Dull as they seem none of that, you don't got a ride home
Call your mother back, it's like that
Follow the rules and later you can swallow the jewels
Bragging to your girlfriends
How you sucked it and I fucked it in the mini chopper
'Cause she just wanna have fun like Cyndi Lauper
It's the niggers that you play is hate to see
You know they run up in your girl from 1, 2, 3
It's da nuts, it's da nuts
In the crib, in the club and the SUV
It's the, shush you wanna hear every place you be
It's da nuts, it's da nuts
[Unverified]
How much you wanna bet? I get as close as I wanna get
Everybody gets tough, see if I bled
Catch me in the club sittin' in the shadows, bottle of J.D.
Surrounded by some bad hoes, treat them bitches like body armor
If there is beef in the club, I shoot right through your body, mama
Why everybody hates so much?
It's real out here but I can only take so much
I'm everything you love to hate, you man, you only want that fake
You man, you only want that fake
It's the niggers that you play is hate to see
You know they run up in your girl from 1, 2, 3
It's da nuts
In the crib, in the club and the SUV
It's the, shush you wanna hear every place you be
It's da nuts
Ayo, what it is, what it is, can I touch this up a syndrome?
Yo like my addicts can I debug this up
Drift flow to be sporadic, strictly bombs and such
How much for these fanatics want the dome and the gut, gone to clutch
Watch how these chickers jump and double like ducks and then what
How these niggers walk and duck in their trucks
(What's the drive?)
Yo, I'm gonna keep you guessing your toes, ayo fuck the gun play
Just some niggers and ho's for some party and shit
La di, da di, shit, a niggers live to clip, a lady lives to dick and that shit
Now the party goes cardio vascio, cermonial masteral
To keep that factual, keep that a hundred nuts
Bust them with whatever yo, show off the hook
You crooks just stand shook, blow you niggers to bits
If you witnessed the fits, strictly kick the hits
On and on the shit, like what
It's the niggers that you play is hate to see
You know they run up in your girl from 1, 2, 3
It's da nuts
In the crib, in the club and the SUV
It's the, shush you wanna hear every place you be
It's da nuts
The Beatnuts' song It's da Nuts is a hip-hop track that characterizes the group's confidence and skill in the genre. The lyrics begin with a child's voice saying, "It's the Beatnuts," introducing the group and signaling their arrival. The first verse features one of the members describing how he buys drinks and chills backstage while putting on a great show. The group boasts their skills without the need for proof, as anything they create is amazing. The chorus repeats the song's title and continues with a verse about enjoying the company of women ("ho's") and partying while being aware of the danger around them.
The second verse continues the theme of the first, with the Beatnuts describing their ability to own any space they enter, including clubs and SUV's. The last verse features a barrage of lyrics that ultimately communicate the Beatnuts' unwavering stylized confidence. The song's subject matter revolves around self-expression within the constraints of hip-hop culture and the group's desire to be respected for their artistry.
