    The refrains and horn tracks of "Quality Control" are all the ammo you'll need in your next argument about the rejuvenation of hip-hop.

    Quality Control hits all of the same highs as Jurassic 5's excellent EP of three years earlier...
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    Despite the fluid interplay of the four MCs and J5's evolving musicality, 'Quality Control' lacks the singalong pop immediacy of 'Jurassic 5'.... Quality then. But it's not the old-skool classic we'd hoped for.
