Jurassic 5 - Quality Control



Word. Hip-Hop yo. I know many people like to be ignorant and generalize rap, but it is time for a change. Listen to this album, let these funky beats from a post-civilization era, where dinosaurs and random black guys with mics, turntables, and recording equipment roam the world, change your opinion about hip-hop.

Jurassic 5 might be the best rap group out now, if not ever. With Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir, Mark 7even, on the mics and DJ Nu-Mark on the turntables this group is unstoppable. And Quality Control is the best album by this fresh group. With choruses that you are guaranteed to be singing all day, and rhymes so fly you will be blown away. This album is chalked full of great songs, my personal favorites being "The Influence" and "Lausd." "The Influence" is a fun song with a chorus that is hauntingly catchy. It sounds almost like a song that would be played at a block party. "Lausd" is a song about LA and also Jurassic's personal beliefs about making it big. This is an amazing album, and won't disappoint you whether you are brand new to the Hip-Hop scene or an old skooler.
