Any other J5 fans out there?

I've all their albums and I think they're great. I like heavy hip hop too but it is nice to hear some rappers that don't focus on all that stuff.

yes i love j5 its great just listening to some easy goin chilled out hip hop its prob my fav style of hiphop

Parrish_Crooks

If u like them you'd prob like Dilated Peoples as well.

j5 are class. They said last year that thyre done now? chali 2na has solo **** now

Not a fan of thier most recent album...but thier early stuff is brilliant.
They lost Cut Chemist on the last album and I think that had an impact on some of the creativity side.

Also, i thought the Charlie 2na stuff is a bit weak, was expecting a lot more.

So sad to hear J5 were finished,they were all that I loved about hip hop,and I agree,felt that their last album really didn't sound like their stuff.Was so glad I got to see them in vicar st before they broke up.

Have heard some of chali2na guest stuff,will always have that distintive sound and clever lyrics,haven't heard his solo stuff as such.

Yeah dilated peoples are great,also maybe the roots and *early*(1996 behind the front), and I mean early Black Eyed Peas stuff,before they turned into cnuts with that bird in their band.

Anymore similar recommendations?I seem to have put hip hop at the back of my musical shelf at the mo,Lupe is good to listen to,but slightly too commercial for the likes of J5 and Dilated peoples sound

HalloweenJack

Nappy Roots are kind of similar.

Blackalicious, Ugly Duckling and Lyrics Born should be right up your alley if you like J5.

Maybe add Pigeon John to the list......everyone needs some Pigeon John in thier life

clio_16v

Add Giant Panda to that list too. And maybe Apathy amongst others

Definite +1 for Ugly Duckling. I'd suggest getting some Tribe Called Quest also. Not the same sound as J5, but it's really great, smart classic Hip Hop.

You'd probably like Pharcyde too, to add to the growing list of recommendations :pac:

madmandaniel

yeah guys ur all dead on, J5 and Ugly duckiling are great
get What's Golden by J5 its class
and "just a little samba" from Ugly duckling

Everytime summer comes around i get back into J5 in a big way, what a group, sad to see them go, but as someone else said, there last album wasn't the greatest so probably best that instead of going downhill with every album they just left it.
