Well, now you have. I just don't trust it. I don't think any one will really be qualified to say what this one means until they've heard the third disc in the cycle. The 5's signature sound, though, comes from the MC's who put together choruses in ways I never thought I'd hear. Their unison can't be beat, providing texture and hook simultaneously.
Teamwork is the key here, actually strengthening and highlighting individual performance.
It's been a long time. Babu uses the turntables to create hook in ways that I haven't heard since the glory days of Hurricane, not the same style here, but the same attitude. Because when it comes right down to it, his boys don't have shit to say. This isn't a judgment, and it's certainly not a criticism of his subject matter. I mean he really makes me feel bad for him and people like him.
