it really annoys me that they're called Jurassic 5 but there's 6 members

anyway this album is a strong tribute to old school hip hop of the early 80s, with a light-hearted b-boyism attitude and gang-rapped choruses and verses but with a more modern twist

their origin from the Good Life cafe really shows in the MCs' fantastic flows with lots of multi-syllabic rhyming (the extended rhyme schemes on Jurass Finish First really tickles my fancy)

Basically the equivalent of someone making a song called "Chinese Food" with the chorus being "Ching chong bing bong orange chicken fried rice herro herro" and the verses making references to Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia.

Highly underrated; super fucking angry, political, racial rap, for fans of Elucid, especially For Madmen Only and even Fantastic Damage. Dude has a nice off-beat, fast talking/ranting flow. Producer ATD, who did barely much else except for the awesome Things That Happen at Night, provides some heavy fucking beats that are completely different from the cloudy beats he provided Milo

In an alternate better universe Armand Hammer is billy woods + skech rather than elucid.. sorry el

weird collection of artists and weirdest thing is that the first Junior Mafia song is the weirdest one here, sounds like a Numbers on the Boards type beat
