R.I.P. Jurassic 5
Mar 21, 07

From CMJ.com:
After Jurassic 5 founding member Soup told an Australian newspaper last month that the group was calling it quits, rumors have been swirling as to the fate of everyone's favorite old school throwback rap collective. Now, it is confirmed: The Jurassic 5 period is over. Rattling hip-hop bedrock, a spokesman for the group, who chose to remain anonymous, confirmed to CMJ today that they've officially broken up after completing their last performances together in Australia and Japan, noting that each of the six founding members (including Cut Chemist, who cut out after 2002's Power In Numbers) would go on to pursue solo careers.
"I don't want to sit here and fake around with it—we're not seeing eye to eye right now. People see us as a harmonizing, loving group, but that's far from the truth," J5-er Soup told Australia's Gold Coast Bulletin in February. "When it comes down to it, some people here want their own shine, their own thing. If that's what you want, I say 'More power to you.'"
Godspeed! old-school hip hop revivalists, et al.
