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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never be the same, never ("It's so hot")
The Beatnuts kid.. classic material (Yo.. hot shit)
[JuJu]
C'mon man, whattchu gotcha head in ya ass

Loaded with the macks to the back of ya knot
Still reppin for the kids on the block (yep)
And if you leave ya girl open (what) chances are I'm takin a shot

[Psycho Les]
This is that funk shit - get drunk and start punchin
niggaz in the face for bluffin
You won't see me posin on the cover of nothin
cuz I'm always on the low tryna cover up somethin
Big Pysche, I hit like a bulldozer
I see a chica with an ass like Trina, I tell her +Pull Over+
("It's so hot") Mama - that ass look proper
Take ya panties off and twist it round the air like a helicopter
[Chorus: Melonie + (Beatnuts)] - 2X

The song “We Got The Funk” by The Beatnuts is a rap track featuring two of the group’s members, JuJu and Psycho Les, spitting verses over a funky beat.

The intro to the piece sets the tone for what’s to come, with the pair proclaiming their status as the greats of hip-hop and promising to deliver something excellent.
The first verse, delivered by JuJu, addresses some of the band’s detractors, who may be haters of their music. He urges them to give the group another listen, confident that they won’t be disappointed. He also boasts about having the ability to pull any girl he desires. The second verse, handled by Psycho Les, showcases the group’s musical prowess, conveying their love for making music and performing live. He also makes mention of ladies clamoring to be with him after watching his band's videos.
