    In June 2000, almost seven years after their formation, underground
    rap's most lauded crew finally hit with a full-length. Great
    expectations aside, Quality Control hits all the same highs as
    Jurassic 5's excellent EP of three years earlier, stretching out
    their resume to nearly an hour with a few turntablist jaunts from
    resident beat-jugglers DJ Nu-Mark and Cut Chemist. The formula is
    very similar to the EP, with the group usually going through a couple
    of lines of five-man harmonics before splitting off for
    tongue-twister solos from Zaakir, Chali 2na, Akil, and Mark 7even. As
    expected, there are plenty of nods to old-school rap, from "LAUSD,"
    with its brief tribute to hip-hop classic "The Bridge" by MC Shan, to
    "Monkey Bars," where the group claim inspiration (yet just a bit of
    distance) from their heroes: "Now you know us but it's not the Cold
    Crush, four MC's so it ain't the Furious / Not the Force MCs or the
    three from Treacherous, it's a blast from the past from the moment we
    bust." Where Quality Control really laps previous Jurassic 5 material
    is not only the lyrical material, though, but the themes and focus of
    the message tracks "LAUSD," "World of Entertainment (Woe Is Me)," and
    "Contribution." The four-man crew take on major media and the
    responsibilities of adulthood with a degree of authority, eloquence,
    and compassion never before heard in rap music. (Just check out the
    lyrics to any of the above three at an online archive like
    www.ohhla.com). Though critics and uptight rap purists might fault
    them for not pushing the progression angle enough, Jurassic 5's
    rhymes are so devastating and the productions (by Nu-Mark and Cut
    Chemist) follow the raps so closely it certainly doesn't matter
    whether the group are old-school or not.

    note:

    This 2CD set was released in Australia/New Zealand for J5's tour
    there earlier this year. The instrumentals haven't previously been
    released in CD quality. Since the album was originally released to
    the scene about 18 months ago, and since it's a full set, we decided
    to go ahead and release the whole thing. If you didn't check out this
    amazing album the first time, don't make the same mistake twice!
