Jurassic
5
flexed
serious
old-to-the-new
muscles
in
the
‘90s,
beginning
with
their
independently
released
single
“Unified
Rebelution”
in
1994,
and
book-ending
with
their
stellar
debut
full-length:
2000’s
Quality
Control.
They
walked
a
tightrope
between
underground
and
mainstream
hip-hop,
and
toured
alongside
rap
peers
as
well
as
punk
rockers
on
the
Vans
Warped
Tour.
With
double
the
pleasure
of
your
average
hip-hop
group
–
two
DJs
and
producers
(Cut
Chemist
and
DJ
Nu-Mark);
and
four
MCs
(Chali
2na,
Akil,
Marc
7
and
Zaakir
aka
Soup)
–
they
brought
the
late
1970s
“unison
MC”
style
of
pioneering
groups
like
the
Fantastic
5
and
the
Force
MCs
to
a
new
generation.
Even
more
surprisingly,
they
did
so
out
of
Los
Angeles,
whose
hip-hop
flavors
generally
leaned
towards
Gangsta,
G-Funk
or
Electro
lines.
Musically
inventive
and
lyrically
forward-thinking,
each
song
on
Quality
Control
is
a
new
adventure,
exploring
engaging
territory,
delivered
via
one
of
the
best
live
hip-hop
shows
fans
had
seen
in
years.
From
singles
like
the
strutting
groove
of
the
title
track
to
the
throwback
doo-wop
samples
on
“The
Influence”
and
the
catchy,
keyboard
groove-driven
“World
of
Entertainment
(WOE
Is
Me),”
to
deeper
album
tracks
like
the
lyrical
gymnastics
of
“Jurass
Finish
First”
and
the
thought-provoking
“Lausd,”
Jurassic
5
consistently
stepped
to
the
plate
and
their
fans
responded
in
kind,
nearly
pushing
the
album
to
Gold
status.
Add
the
innovative
DJ-and-sample
workout
which
closes
out
the
album,
“Swing
Set,”
and
you
have
one
of
the
2000s’
most
unique
and
solid
full-length
platters.
