Jake One - Hurt U ft. Pharoahe Monch & Kardinal Offishall
Artist: Jake One
Featuring: Pharoahe Monch , Kardinal Offishall
Producer: Jake One
Album: Unreleased
Label: Rhymesayers
Don’t underestimate the production work of Jake One, a producer who has received critical acclaim for his work with A-list artists like G-Unit. After deciding to go for delf with his brand new White Van Music project, the Seattle, Washington beatsmith has gained a new wealth of fans, all of whom appreciate the sample-heavy cuts he serves up. On Hurt U, an unreleased record from the producer’s catalog, guest emcees Pharoahe Monch and Kardinal Offishall compete to see who can fit more words into a single bar. The tone and witticism that both rhymers exhibit over Jake’s Shaft-sampling, 70’s-fueled ditty will make people wonder why Hurt U ended up on the cutting room floor.

I didn't like how the song just jumps you right into the verses but decided to let it run with these two heavyweights on here and found myself playing it again. Put this one in the rotation for sure.

The beat is really fresh and creative! Kardinal and Pharoahe Monch's lyrics were solid. Good song. In rotation

Damn! As soon as the Shaft sample drops it means two things... Jake f*cked this beat up... or... Jake messed sh*t up. Thankfully, "Hurt U," is an example of the first kind.
Kev is right... hopefully not "underestimated" for much longer. |

Damn...!! NICE PRODUCTION!!! The bass line, all those funny sounds in the background plus the strings and woodwinds… so complex yet easy on the ear! I’d love to see them try this live… Dope beat, dope rappers!

Havnt hear from Monch since forever and Offishall was official on this track. First time I really ever heard of Jake but i got to listen to more of his stuff if he does them like this and he is Reppin for Seattle After All.

undoubtedly my favorite song. Pharoahe Monch and Kardinal got a flow like no other, and that beat. I have to watch Shaft.
