Jurassic 5 Not Here To Save Hip Hop

Craig D. Lindsey of the Houston Press spoke with Nu-Mark of Jurassic 5 who says the group doesn’t want to be considered the messiahs of hip hop. “I’m not really sure people really held us up as that example,” he says. “I think there have been times where we have, but I don’t think it’s been like we’ve been the prime group. We don’t make music to say, ‘Hey, we’re the example. We’re here to save hip-hop.’ If you sat down with us and talked to everybody, we’re just six dudes that got together and really liked doing it for the artistic value of it, and we liked doing it just because it’s, like, in our blood.”
