Music reviews of Power in Numbers
Music Review: Refreshing
Rating: 4 Stars
This has probably become a cliched story but I'm going to tell it anyway. For years I listened to nothing but rap/hip-hop. Nothing else. At all. But at some point I became really bored with it and ventured into other genres like rock, jazz, blues, etc. and my appetite for creative music was quenched and I had closed the door on my rap/hip-hop past.
My junior year in college we were on spring break and "If you only knew" played on my friend's ipod. Wow. I was amazed. There was something about the flute and the way the flow just you know, flowed, that I found very intriguing. I replayed that track over and over again till I knew the words. I later explored the rest of the album and was very impressed with tracks like "Freedom" and "What's Golden". They were reminiscent of the golden age of hip hop when the music was more responsible, creative and original.
Power in Numbers is part of the New Testament of Hip Hop music. It should be a benchmark for artists that want to make good music rather than music that just sells.
Description of Power in Numbers
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 LevineGeneral CDs
