View Full Version : Jurrasic 5 to split
Sad news. Looks like Jurassic 5 is calling it quits after a tour of Australia and Japan (via NME).
No official announcement has been made on the group’s Web site or MySpace. But Soup, one of the four emcees in the group, told NME the root of the split comes from one of the guys’ desire to go solo:
“Some people here want their own shrine, their own thing. If that’s what you want, I say more power to you. I hope it works out for you - just don’t come up with lame excuses.”
CMJ has more (via Wes @ Brooklyn Vegan). If we’re to read between the lines in the CMJ report, Chali 2na (referenced just yesterday) seems to be the member striking out on a solo career.
It’s too bad. The group’s latest LP, Feedback, didn’t do much for me (with the exception of Radio), but that debut EP was darn-near perfection. I’m guessing the stigma of being that feel-good throwback group wore thin. Maybe we should have seen this coming when Cut Chemist left. Hopefully, all those guys find success elsewhere.

oh i thought it was already announced, as when they came here in feb i was told it would def be the last tour... kind of makes me wish i wasnt sick for their set, but they were awesome the time before i saw them, where coincidentally i was also sick.

though its never a happy day when a group breaks, for them or their fans, its about bloody time. while i respect their music and recognize all the talent between the members, i got sick of them only a few months after i first started listening to them. i was afraid i was gonna have to keep hearing these guys for the next 15 years making the same record over and over again. dude said it right when he said that "being the old throwback group wore thin". only i think it grew thin long before now. not trying to sound like a hater, but man am i sick of these guys.:(
Chali 2na is the FUCKING GAYEST moniker EVER!!
What a fucking tool.
It saddens me to realize that many music groups I was down with growing up have eventually, through time, gayed it up (Jurassic 5, Incubus, 311, etc.).

Well, they were a quality barbershop rapping quartet, so it's too bad they're calling it quits.

Cut Chemist was so essential to the sound,his departure was a fatal wound.....Feedback,ugh....the duet with Dave Matthews alone warranted the end.....anyways a new Ozomatli record and solo joints by Tuna Fish or Nu Mark might be nice...or maybe even a Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee reunion....(y)

So, at what point were Incubus not "gaying it up" Not to mention 311.
I liked incubus up til Make Yourself and 311 up til whatever album came after Transistor.
