This CD is a great CD. It is one that I have listened to from time, to time, and still continue to listen to weekly. I'd say high points of this CD are Jurass Finish first, The Influence, and Swing Set. The first two show the talents of the lyricists of the group (Akil, Mark7, 2na Fish, and Zaakir) while the swing set is a ridiculous set of hooks meshed together to form a really catchy song. Just try to identify all the samples used in that piece. I dare you.
Rated 4/5

Good, if at times vanilla, group rap. Where this album really stands out, however, is in some of the production of a few songs.

'Monkey Bars' brings out nearly every sound in a drum kit, creating a collage of percussion and samples.

'Swing Set' is an amazing megamix of swing music offset with a bit of funk.

'Quality Control' uses a looping sample of a funk party that flows quite nicely along with the raps of the group.

A good pickup for fans of hip hop that would rather have fun rather than bravado in their music.
