Amazon.com's Best of 2000
The thrill of invention never stops on this first full-length album from Jurassic 5. Coming out of L.A.'s kinetic hip-hop underground, the multitalented combo whips up an irresistible flow of charisma and keeps the fun at a high-voltage level. J5 can pivot on a dime from one style to the next--street-corner barbershop, turntable friction, or kick-ass swing. But the constant focus is on the essentials of the art: Quality Control fuses fantastic wordplay and MC skills with a killer grab bag of beats. It's the achievement of J5 to look back in a way so fresh it shines a light ahead. --Thomas MayAmazon.com
L.A.-based Jurassic 5 have unearthed the lost art of flow. With a style reminiscent of the Native Tongues, J5 delivers one of the most consistent rap albums in recent memory. Cuts like "The Influence" and "Great Expectations" exhibit a wonderfully organic quality that could help us all to forget the tired rap formulas of money, hoes, and gats. Comprised of four MC's and two DJs (DJ Nu-Mark and the legendary Cut Chemist), J5 is near Ellingtonian in size for a hip-hip troupe. The interplay between the members reeks of old school, the place where rap sounds honest and evolves as an art form. As well it should, because J5 aren't new to hip-hop; after all, they've been "rockin' since the '84 Fresh Fest." --Marc CalhounCustomer Reviews:
SO much better than what you hear on the radio.......2006-07-12
As you can obviously see, I was extremely impressed. I have become SO sick of today's hip-hop...It's no wonder all the punk rock kids at my school hate rap so much. They judge the entire genre on what they hear on the radio...GARBAGE. It's pretty sad how such a good genre of music has gone so far downhill over the past few years...
But this review is not meant to trash modern mainstream hip-hop, it's to praise this cd.
The first thing I noticed was the damn catchy beats. They are so original, and sound very different from one another, however, they all maintain that classic old-school style. The second thing I noticed was how well they flowed as a group. You would think that 4 MCs all rapping together would sound kinda choppy, but they take turns with the mic, and the transaction between each MC sounds clean and well-executed. What's more, they are very unified, and sound like one person when they rap in unison. Finally, their lyrics are intelligent, and don't praise money, gats, hoes, and all the other things hip-hop is criticized for.
So if you love old-school rap, or rap in general, this cd is a definate must-have. My favorite songs are "The Influence", "Great Expectations", "Quality Control", "Monkey Bars", "Jurass Finish First", and "Game".
Enjoy =)

Finally...Hip-Hop for anyone.......2003-02-24
J5 is bomb.......2001-09-10
Quality Control is LOW QUALITY.......2001-08-01
J5 represents what hiphop should be...Quality.......2001-06-05
First off some beats mixed by Cut Chemist and DJ-NuMark are just plain to describe it absolutely amazing... on "Monkey Bars" they create a harmony with pots and pans banging in the backround, on "Swing Set" they create a 1930s style music, "Quality Control" they make a nice old school style beat...and the other beats are just as good...
Even J5's lyrics are pretty good...they have an odd sounding yet good harmony, their flow is absolutely perfect from one lyricist to the other. Clearly Chali-2NA and Akil are the best wordsmiths but Zaakir and Marc7 follow closely behind. They all have creative topics that they rap about such as: "Lausd" where they rap about people on the route to fame, "W.O.E." where they define what entertainment is supposed to be, "Contribution" (the only track i'm not that crazy about, but it's still good) where they rap about 3 family situations that all end up with the same conclusion, and on "The Game" where they creatively rhyme about playing basketball...
Overall this is a great cd that truly represents hiphop...the only downside is that there's only 11 songs, but there all good enuf to make this cd a 5-star rating...

Sparkling, Snarky Fun!.......2006-07-28
Each track is tightly woven and masterfully played. Lyrics are often delivered with wit and always executed with flair. O'Donnell's drums shimmer and Bird's violin just plain sings.
What's more, this music is flat-out fun. "Control Freak" and "Heretic Blues" got me through the grueling ordeal of studying for the NY Bar Exam. And if I actually pass, I will find Mr. O'Donnell and I will buy him a drink.
A brilliant album which is made with sheer ingenuity!!.......2001-06-12
Every piece in this CD is made with sheer ingenuity by the leadership of Mr. Kevin O'Donnell. But I must mention about the the instrumental peices such as "The Blanket Drag" and "Thanks For Dinner" which are extremely lively. "No More Oscar" sounds quite like funeral parade or marching jazz sound. The CD ends with a nice monologue or rather a recitaion as if it is a poetry. The lyrics of this piece "Chocolate Egg" is taken from an actual event from Mr. O'Donnell's childhood as it is claimed on the cover of this CD. Thanks Mr. O'Donnell for sharing his personal experience with us, though at cost of few bucks!
On the cover of this CD it is written that this CD has the influence of Tom Waits-infected blues. Actually, my early days of music collection started with among others the albums of musician Tom Waits and I have almost every album of Tom Waits today. I like his music and there is no doubt about that. But this CD, Control Freak or their previous CD, Heretic Blues does sound better than any of the Tom Waits album. I consider this CD to be another milestone in my collection. Anyway, I thank every musician of this group Q6 for giving us such a wonderfull album. Especially, my thanks goes to co-producer Mr. Mike Napolitano who previously have produced some of the most brilliant albums that I have ever listened.
As a jazz enthusiast, I could give this CD ten stars with out any doubt. I strongly recommend any one to buy this extremely sexy, hot and diverse CD NOW.
(Buy also CDs of the gifted musician Andrew Bird, Kevin O'Donnels, Tom Maxwell, Tom «Jimbo» Mathus, Katharine Whalen and of the group Squirrel Nut Zippers, Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, Kevin O'Donnels Quality Six and other musicians whose name appears on the cover of their CDs. These musicians use to collaborate with each other.)
