5.0 out of 5 stars An authentic Hip Hop Record!!, October 15, 2002

Jurassic 5's follow up to their critacally acclaimed "Quality Control", is quite refreshing in comparison to the majority rap albums being released as of late. In many cases "Power in numbers start where the last one left off. Primarlily on tracks like the Cut Chemist produced "Break", the 4 MC's flip different lyrical cadences over a straight up break beat. On "A Day At the Races" the crew invites Big Daddy Kane, and Percy P. to flow over an uptempo track, which takes you back to an era between the "Golden years", and 92, and by the way Akil, Zaakir(Soup), Chali2Na, and Marc7 have no trouble keeping up with the veterans. Other standouts include the first single from the album "What's Golden", which was produced by DJ NuMark, "Thin Line" featuring Nelly Furtado, and "After School Special".

The fellas also hit you with a few unexpected tracks, including "One of Them" featuring JuJu of the Beatnuts, where they go on to exploit the fake thug MC of today, check out the exiting conclusion where Soup rips "if there was no cameras aloud and your bodyguard didn't have to hold your hand through the croud." Another must hear is the smoothed out "Hey", it's definately a track that you can just vibe to.

Jurassic 5 most definately serve up another classic on this piece, and put themselves on another level as far as hip hop groups go today. Lets put it this way each member is a Lion, and when they form together, you get Voltron. That's a powerfull force. At this time the band is definately "What's Golden" in hip hop, but the sales could definately be Platinum.

Jurassic 5 comes through with yet another album with quality, control and experience. The lyrics have the same positive J5 content but much improved from Jurassic 5 EP release. The beats are more chill and sometimes with a hint of jazz which is more or less the usual J5 style. But if you've liked any of their previous releases you will like this album. The bonus DVD is also a great bonus to the CD. The DVD shows a little bit of each member's life in L.A definitely worth checkin out. Also check out Scratch the movie for a short look at J5 and a little expansion of your knowledge of hip hop.-Peace

Yes you get a dvd and I say so frikkin what to that. Just make sure that the quality of the dvd is good and the fans won't complain one bit and also the fact that the album has to be a good one. Surprisingly the free DVD might throw you off to not buying it since your probably thinking it some gimmick but Jurassic 5 are a talented bunch of young lads. The beats Cut Chemist creates are beautiful and some are totally out of this world. The dvd is okay since it showcases some of the members going through daily life in the town where they live and recorded this album! Overall a very good buy for serious music collectors of the hip hop genre. This is a good one but I recommend Quality Control , which is the groups debut LP and is just as good, if not, even better than this one but this album is still good and worth the buy
