hip hop and Jurassic 5

Dangit! I thought this was about Crichton.

What are some of their songs. Ill take a listen

Nah, I was thinking Michael Crichton, the author of the Jurassic Park books.

Oh lol....
Did he write timeline that was one great book

Yep, he wrote it. The "de Kere" part of my nickname is from that book. I didn't like it too much, just happened to have read it right before choosing the name. If you liked Timeline read Sphere, that's his best one.

Jurassic 5, yeh!

I had an album of theirs on tape for a long time, never really caught on with it. But then I downloaded one of its songs from Kazaalite (without realising I already had it) - and we've come to love it.

Its "Concrete Schoolyards". 's Really understated, somehow, li'l soulful, but the more you listen to it, the more you gotta like the lyrical genius that goes with the gentle spirit:

Lets take you back to the concrete streets
Original beats with real live MC's
Playground tactics no rabbit-in-a-head tricks
Just that classic rap shit from Jurassic

They even get the Hindenburg in there ;-)

Thats a cool sig system you got going on there, btw, Tyrius. Howz'it work?

goto http://www.projectjen.net/winamp/ and click winamp and it has instructions on how it works. If you liek j5 try listening to Souls of Mischief - Step to my Girl and Cabfare. I just discovered them last nite.

Sorry that wasnt a good explanation. What happens is anytime im listening to Winamp it sends the song back to a server and can be displayed in forums.

You can also run that kind of code off your machine though it is a little more advanced to do so.

Tyrius,

Is there a smaller or transparent image to use? I ask because sig images are supposed to be small or discreet (see mine).

hey tyrius, i downloaded some souls of mischief stuff, they sound kinda cool. cabfare is cute. of the stuff i got i like "batting practice" and "bombing", track they did with blackalicious, too.

perhaps i got something you like, too. i only just downloaded the track two three days ago and i LOVE it : "70s 80s", by nightmares on wax.

it kinda goes with j5's concrete schoolyards, in mood. i been trying to buy the 12", but its sold out and deleted, seems. bummer.

Jurassic 5 are HUGE here in Oz. They're in the country right now for the summer festival season. We have a great emerging Hip Hop scene here. Some good ones to listen for are Two Up, Butterfingers (if you have a broad mind, listen to 'Everytime'), Hilltop Hoods, Downsyde......
