Power In Numbers

Nice beats, good raps

I'm not a big rap or hip-hop fan, but this was enjoyable. Probably listen to it again. 4/5

Early hip hop rap unexpectedly good

one of the songs said Gene Simmons

Kind of all all over the place. Lots of weird little samples.

Ein wenig wie bei Common kann ich es nicht gut einordnen. Die Schlagzeug/Rhythmusparts sind super

8 or a 9. Could definitely be a 10 depending on my mood

Easy-listening, chill. Not my kind of music but I like it better than modern rap.

Nicht schlecht, nervt mich auch überhaupt nicht, ist bloß auch überhaupt nix besonderes. Gaanz schlechte 3.

Solid vibing album. Strong representation of west coast hip hop.

This is so good!! I can’t believe I never heard this before. Wow.

Love this one.

Great Album, didn't know I needed this in my life

They said they were not corny, but they were. This was a not good album. Other groups did this style much much better and were more cool doing it. Songs I did like: one of them, Hey

great beats and smooth rhymes. Definitely has racial and political underpinnings. One of the best rap albums?

Bien sympa petit rap des familles

great classic early 20s record

funky, groovy, classic early 2000s hip hop. great rhymes, great flows, great rhymes. very fun listen.

Favorites: Freedom: Good beat. Effective use of sound bites. - 1 If You Only Knew: love the flute in this beat. Reminds me of the boondocks theme. - 1 Break: I enjoy everything after the intro. Lots of good flow switches - 0.75 A Day At the Races: average - 0.5 Remember His Name: good transitions between rappers. Solid flow throughout. - 0.75 What’s Golden: Fucking awesome beat - 1.25 Thin Line: Subject-matter hits close to home. Solid hook - 1 After School Special: meh - 0.5 High Fidelity: unique sounds in the best - 0.75 Sum of Us: great flow and switches - 0.75 One of Them: Beat is kind of tedious - 0.25 Hey: meh - 0.5 I am Somebody: good beat - 0.75 Acetate Prophets: pointless for a rap album - 0.25 If this album wasn’t so bloated it could’ve been a lot better. Total - 9/14

This album reminds me of Ill Communication by Beastie Boys more than I thought it would. The emphasis on samples that feel like real music and the interplay between the different members of the groups are weirdly similar. When I think about the rap style of Jurassic 5, I always imagine it as sort of hokey, but it's better than I remember. In retrospect, they were a lot more interesting than a lot of the other stuff that was happening in rap in this era 4/5

10

Enjoyed this a lot!

Not much dissimilar from concrete school yard but that isn’t a bad thing

Basically became background music

Really interesting album. Great lyricism, good flow from one song to the next, and varied sampling create a great, cohesive piece

Whatever

Great one although I usually dont listen to that type of the music

I freaking LOVE this album. I have since it came out in 2002. It's been a few years since I last listened to it and I'm kicking myself. This is easily one of my top 10 albums of all time. Smart, culturally relevant lyrics, powerful break beats, serious in-th-pocket swings... it's the whole package. This is what the best of hip-hop sounds like. There's nothing more that needs to be said. It's the best. Period.

Does anybody know if Jurassic 5 is trying to bring old school rap back? They never mention it. This is a fun album with good production. The best track features Big Daddy Kane, and it kinda made me wish I was listening to one of his albums instead. Best track: A Day at the Races

Great raps, will listen again

3.5

a rap album for people who don't like rap. corny, very early 2000s. well produced but sort of uninspired. run time is too long. nothing on it screams "must listen to before you die".

It is fine, but this isn't my ideal type of hip hop. It is also long, and I got tired of it after 45 minutes or so.

2/22 Some dope backpack raps. Standout Tracks: Freedom, Remember His Name, After School Special, Sum Of Us, One Of Them

Very solid Hip-hop album!

This is a lot better than expected for 2000s rap. Sounds pretty old school most of the time. Not sure why everyone gushes over shit like Kanye West and Jay Z when this exists. 3/5.

Top beats.... and charli 2na 👌. Great album!
