Quality Control

Quality Control, released in 2000 by Jurassic 5, pairs sample-forward, boom-bap influenced production with prominent turntable work and tight, multi-MC vocal interplay. The album emphasizes harmonic group raps, call-and-response delivery, and lyrics that lean toward conscious and community-minded themes, set against crisp scratches and funk and soul samples. Its sound highlights an old-school aesthetic within alternative and underground hip hop while showcasing the DJ techniques and collaborative dynamics that define the group.
