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.

The Beatnuts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hi (donkey sound). Call me. I want to fuck. Alright?
Psycho Les:
Pulling honeys like a vacuum cleaner puffed out in a Beamer
Moving units like Selena
Set to kill for my wiz like Tony did for Gena
? spanish?
From the back I don't front crack the Conyack
Honies 18 and over and if your grill busted then I can't be sober (naaaw)
EVen a fat hun will the get the fat one no diggedy
No hickies, strickly got to time for love just quickies
Psycho, checkin' honies out like Michael, Myers
They lock to my dick like plyers
Twist my nuts like a fire hydrant, then I sink her
Her toes in my jim hat, bust off like a sprinkler
The honey winker, like (donkey noise) I give up signals
Flip singles and strippers, so that the could jiggle
Erotic style baby, what?
Hook:
Uuah, ha ha ha ah, uuah
Strokes (x6)
Psycho Les:
A-yo it's friday night nothin' could stop Les
You could find me and the fellas at a topless
Slipping dollars in a G-String getting feels
Lap dancing with fine honeys and hills
Puerto Rican, black white some fine some wack
I'm horny so all these honies got back
Through my eyes all I see is Bloody Mary
Parlayin' like it's my birthday April 10th I'm an Aries baby
What do you say we go back to my crib
Honey says "You Stone Crazy! What is you thinkin'? What is you drinkin'?"
Put my hand in front of brill tell please your breath is kickin' (beeotch)
Turn around and start to kick it to this other chick
She was with it, giving me signals to hit it
(Did you hit her?) Fromt her shitter
Then I flipped her and ripped up her clitter
Hook
I'm not that type. I'm not that type
The song "Strokes" by The Beatnuts is a classic, upbeat hip-hop track that explores the singer's sexual exploits and promiscuity. The opening features a woman's message on an answering machine, indicating her interest in sex. The first verse raps about the singer being successful with women and taking advantage of his prowess. He compares himself to Tony, a character from Scarface, saying he would do anything for his wife, and Selena, the famous Latina singer who is revered for breaking boundaries. He also mentions that even women who try to snub him in public end up becoming enamored with him sexually. The second verse talks about the singer's experience at a topless bar and how he was surrounded by women of different races and body types. He brags about his zodiac sign of Aries and attempts to seduce one woman at the club who later rebuffs him for criticizing her breath. He moves on to another woman who he has sex with from behind and goes into graphic detail about the act.
The lyrics of "Strokes" reveal a toxic masculinity that puts the singer's sexual desires ahead of anything else. He objectifies women and measures his self-worth based on his sexual prowess. The singer is an anti-hero, someone we are meant to root for but also realize is problematic. The use of sound effects, such as the donkey noise in the opening and the moaning and groaning in the chorus, add to the song's overall mood and tone.

They did before. But then they took it down for a few years. Sometimes its copyright issues with the artists. Not that uncommon these days because artists are hardcore on royalty payments. Thanks 4 the upload tho!

Remind me of cold Winters in Baltimore. I've been in Vegas since 2004 and I miss wearing full length leathers and Gore-Tex sweat suits.
