Synopsis
Jurassic 5 appear in a series of colorful, playful settings while a young boy eats ice cream and flips through a View-Master. Each click reveals another image of the Los Angeles crew performing, posing and bringing their old-school hip-hop energy to life. The video avoids a conventional concert setting, instead presenting the group as part of a lively visual toy box. Its childlike framing and bright, humorous tone underline the track's accessible, good-natured spirit without sacrificing the MCs' lyrical focus.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was conceived as something more than a standard performance clip. The group wanted to preserve their fun-loving character while introducing themselves to viewers who might not already know their live work.
- A young child eating ice cream and operating a View-Master provides the video's framing device. Contemporary coverage compared the clip's playful logic to "Sesame Street."
- "Quality Control" was the title track and lead single from Jurassic 5's 2000 album of the same name.
- The song began as a short promotional piece for the Wake Up Show before Jurassic 5 returned to its beat and developed it into a complete track.
- The album helped move Jurassic 5 from Los Angeles' underground hip-hop scene into a wider audience, making the video's deliberately approachable presentation an important part of the campaign.
