ocr: Lell,Jeruthe Damaja ain'tl hearing none of that. "In Hhe land of crooks, yes Brooklyn's the borough/homicide central, East New York,' 1 he taunts in Hhe album opener "D. Original." - Ir'sa brazen re-working of lce-T's "O.G." Jeru comes across like Rudy Giuliani's wuorsh nighlmare; Hhe ullimate "dirhy rotten scoundrel" relling an insider's tale of cily-wide decay, hypocrisy, : and racism. And though rhymes like "dirhy because of the skin I'm in/lhe fachl haue melanin automatically makes me a felon" won't win him any awards from Hhe Fourism council, the words cuh righh to Hhe bone.
