“Holding on to what’s golden” is also speaking to the golden era of hip hop. These guys were technically throwback and super authentic when they came out in the middle of the “ringtone” era of rap music.
One of the best hip hop groups ever. You know what's curious to me? I read in many interviews of many of the US groups of these days that they felt much more love after their prime here in europe then in their own country the US. Such a shame.
Every part of J5 was like 1 more incredible piece that added something to their overall puzzle! Maybe only overlooked band imo, but definitely underrated by many people! The entire essence of Hip-Hop was there for everyone to experience in their albums!
Would highly recommend giving Jurassic 5's "customer service" and "verbal gunfight" a spin,... also "DJ format featuring Jurassic 5 - we know something" has an amazing video. Enjoy 😎👍
If you like them try blackalicious,gift of gab, Dilated Peoples, Swollen Members, Jedi Mind Tricks, RA the rugged Man, Brother Ali,the root’s Just to name a few .
Clive Hicks- Look Hear is the sample HOWEVER they took the sound and made an entirely different hook or idk what the correct words are. They just took the sound and rearranged it into something I consider almost entirely original unlike most cut and paste samples. Jurassic 5 is awesome the deep voice guy was my favorite when i was 9💪😂
Hey Brother definitely like it. Would definitely like to see you do some reactions on Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Or cotton out the Kings would even be better love those guys. Hopefully you're doing well take care baby
he's using "bars" as a double meaning, physical bars like a jail cell and lyrical bars. So he's saying the drama they been thru can not be contained nor enough lyrics to explain.
If I'm gonna be open and honest (but don't tell anyone what I'm saying right now) the jurassic 5 catalogue beats nas, wu tang, big L, and pretty much all 90s rap groups...Aside from them being extremely talented, my mom (who is not a rap fan due to the explicit lyrics) absolutely LOVES J5 and Gangstarr.... If they can get a white lady who never enjoyed rap born in 1965 to groove to their music, they are talented for sure
