Title:
Jurassic 5: Power in Numbers
Description:
Power In Numbers is the third studio album by American Alternative hip-hop group Jurassic 5, released on October 8, 2002 by Interscope Records. It picked up where their previous album, Quality Control left off with a short double bass sample playing the same riff that the last song on Quality Control, "Swing Set”, ended with.
Two years after Jurassic 5’s debut album, Quality Control, proved that B-boy-oriented retro-rap doesn’t have to be corny, the six-member crew (four MCs and two DJs) seems to be gearing up for the revolution. While fans of Quality Control’s bright sound will still find much to enjoy here, J5’s sophomore offering does a good job at extending their sound. Opening with "Freedom,” a quiet yet focused call to action, Power in Numbers presents a slightly darker vision of hip-hop nirvana than the group offered first time around. In keeping with the album’s title, J5 has also expanded its crew--Percy P. (of the early-’90s underground group, Double XX Posse) and Big Daddy Kane help wreck the G Rap-esque "A Day at the Races,” and the always game alterna-diva, Nelly Furtado, lends a surprisingly effective pop edge to the bouncy "Thin Line.” On the production end of things, Juju of the Beatnuts adds his special blend of Colombian madness to the jazzy "If You Only Knew” and the considerably bleaker "One of Them.” --Rebecca Levine.
