From their double LP Power In Numbers that dropped in 2002, this track by Jurassic 5 reminds us of everything that was positive and life-affirming about the yes y'allin' days of old school hip hop.
It sampled Prophets of Rage by Public Enemy, and an early 70s track called Look Hear by Clive Hicks, who I'd never heard of before digging into the history of this track. But apparently he was a guitarist responsible for some seriously funky contributions to the crate-digging universe.
The year after Power In Numbers came out, Jurassic 5 did a show at the Cradle, and while they were in town, three of them visited the Lost City. They were all very chill and down to earth, and bought a fat stack of records while they were in the joint.
