{"product_id":"jurassic-5-quality-control-2-lp","title":"Jurassic 5 - Quality Control (2 LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eForgoing the grim lyrical concerns of many of their hip-hop contemporaries, Los Angeles' Jurassic 5 point up a more carefree time in the music's history. Recalling the youthful irreverence of the Native Tongues groups, Jurassic 5's easygoing rhymes and bouncy rhythms reveal a reverence for hip-hop's \"old school,\" when the definition of a good tune was something to rock the party.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQUALITY CONTROL maintains an infectious energy level throughout. The MCs all take turns playing what they like to refer to as 'verbal basketball', spouting seemingly stream-of-conscious street poetry. Often the lyrics seem nonsensical; the emphasis here is more on fun and less on violent imagery or consciousness-raising agitprop. As demonstrated by the smart production work of Cut Chemist and DJ Nu-Mark, Jurassic 5 avoid simplistic musical formulae. Many of the sample sources are obscure, and encompass a wide range, from swing and funk, to jazz. Open-minded hip-hop fans will find simple pleasures in QUALITY CONTROL's optimistic and upbeat grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJurassic 5: Chali 2NA, Zaakir, Akil, Marc 7, Cut Chemist, DJ Nu-Mark.\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Roberto Morena (bass); Bernard Purdie (drums).\u003cbr\u003eProducers: DJ Nu-Mark, Cut Chemist, Shafiq Husayn.\u003cbr\u003eEngineers: Stefan Neary, Mark Ellis, Cut Chemist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl, 2 LP\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e JocoRecords\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 How We Get Along (Intro)\u003cbr\u003eA2 The Influence\u003cbr\u003eA3 Great Expectations\u003cbr\u003eA4 Quality Control (Intro)\u003cbr\u003eA5 Quality Control\u003cbr\u003eB1 Contact\u003cbr\u003eB2 Lausd\u003cbr\u003eB3 World Of Entertainment (W.O.E.
