Lesson 6: The Lecture Lyrics

Edit
Okay, let's beginCompound, a substance composed
Of two or more elements
Chemically combined
In definite proportions by weightMixtures, two or more substances
That are not chemically united such as air
Solution, a uniform mixture of varying proportions
Of a solvent and a soluteFor many of our students
This is the lesson you've been waiting for
Lesson 6
Left channel, right channelHydrogen, H plus one
Sodium, Na plus one
Magnesium, Mg plus twoAluminum, Al plus three
Potassium, K plus one
Calcium, Ca plus two
Chromium, Cr plus two, three, sixAny physical difficulty
With a record or a turntable
Is taken care ofDo you think that Led Zeppelin

And Frank Sinatra would go together?
Edit, no combinations of musicYou're about to play a soul, 45 rpm recording
But the turntable is set at 33 and 1/3
And the record plays very slowly
Let's pick up the tempo a bit, eh?Now, let us imagine
That you are in the middle
Of your disk jockey program
This is the mark of a professionalYeah, if you could throw a couple yeah, uuh
Right, when he's playin' the drum, you know
Let him play a couple beats alone, euhUh, oh, I'm sorry I had the turntable at the wrong speed
Aah, listen to this, scratchin', the greatest thing on earth
What do you do? What do you do?
Toggle, wow, dropChemical change, a change that alters
The composition of the molecules of a substance
New substances with new properties are produced
DropFrom now until your next lesson
We want you to study carefully every section
Of lesson 6 and to go back over lesson 4Practice carefully, and you will be ready
For the new techniques and new situations
We will cover together in lesson 5

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Jurassic 5

Jurassic 5 was originally a six-piece hip-hop crew that was formed in 1993 at the Los Angeles, California venue Good Life. Rappers Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir aka Soup, Mark 7even, and turntable maestros DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist came together from two separate crews, the Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee. Cut Chemist left the band in 2006 to pursue a solo career.

The group debuted for TVT Records in 1995 with the single for Unified Rebelution. Their acclaimed position in the 1990s alternative hip-hop movement, alongside artists including Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith, was confirmed when the Jurassic 5 EP was released in December 1997.

The EP was later repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the band's full-length debut album, entitled Jurassic 5 LP.

The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of new york's Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 1980s coalition of artists who reaffirmed rap's social agenda, which included De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. This was evident on the song Concrete Schoolyard ("Let's take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs"), and the album even provided the troupe with a surprise uk Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998. The other stand-out track, Jayou, was built around a hypnotic flute loop from Pleasure Web's Music Man Part 1 (Music Man Part 1).

In 1999, Jurassic 5 signed to Interscope Records, who re-released the Jurassic 5 EP. This was followed by their second album (their first on a major label), Quality Control.

In 2002, they released their third album, Power In Numbers, which was followed by touring with the newly-revived Lollapalooza festival in the summer of 2003.

Their latest album, Feedback, was released on July 25, 2006.

On March 21, 2007, in an interview with the Australian news outlet News.com.au, Zaakir confirmed that the band would be breaking up after their current and final live-tour.
