CLaw, DKYan and myself caught the Jurrasic 5 (aka J5) concert at Stubb’s yesterday. The opening act, X-Clan, was rather weak. The only thing I enjoyed about their act was laughing at the “Flag Guy”, who paraded around the stage waving this red-black-green liberation flag through the entire duration. If I knew that’s what it took to get into the business, I would have practiced 4 hours a day in my youth.
Jurrasic 5 is definitely in my top 5 music groups of all time. And they did not disappoint last night busting out all my favorites such as “Quality Control”, “Freedom”, “What’s Golden” and “Improvise”. DJ Nu-Mark is a bad-A. He was cutting it up with sick beats, and between J5’s sets he did a solo act on what looked like modified Fisher-Price toys rigged to synthesizers. The crowd was going crazy for Chali 2na because his signature deep voice is the one that stands out amongst the group. I thought the best lyrical skills of the night came from Marc 7even.
As a group they are just unrivaled for talent. Hip-hop is not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you are ever thirsty, Jurassic 5 throws one helluva tea party.
