About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Jurassic 5 is a five-piece hip hop crew that was formed in 1992-1993 at the Los Angeles, California, venue Good Life. Rappers Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir aka Soup, Mark 7even, and turntable maestros DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist came together from two separate crews, the Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee. Jurassic 5 was six-strong until Cut Chemist left.

Music Style

A no-frills ethos musical approach that evokes old school hip hop.
Tag-team delivery, with the four MCs trading off lyrics (finishing one another's sentences, speaking words one after the other, and so on) and harmonizing on choruses to the point where they have been likened to a hip-hop barbershop quartet.

Primarily positive and inventive lyrics, interspersed with self-promotion and social commentary.
Touring outside of hip-hop circles, including the 2003 Lollapalooza, the 2000 Warped Tour, the Download Festival, and festivals such as Bonnaroo and Reading.

    In an interview with the Australian news outlet News.com.au, the rapper said "After the tour, that’s basically it. I don’t want to sit here and fake around with it - we’re not seeing eye-to-eye right now. People see us as a harmonising, loving group, but that’s far from the truth…I’d like to keep it going, but you can’t force grown men to do what they don’t want to do…I’m hoping people are professional enough to do what they have to do. I think it’ll be all right… Some people may say it’s a creative thing, but I’m not buying it. Some might say business, some might say merchandising, whatever, there’s some really stupid shit - some really childish things - happening." He said solo projects for various members of the group are also playing a part. “When it comes down to it, some people here want their own shine, their own thing. If that’s what you want, I say ‘more power to you’…I hope it works out for you - just don’t come up with lame excuses… I thought we’d be a bit better at handlin

    ya they broke up after there final tour which is pretty sad. apperently there was heaps of arguing between the group and some of them couldnt even look at each other eye to eye.
