Bleep

The Pharcyde are your favourite rapper’s favourite rappers, and over 30 years after its release, Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde remains an all-time classic of alternative hip hop. Spinning stories out of speedy flows and outlandishly humorous lyrics, the group vibe out over slamming boom bap beats with jaunty and jazzy inflections. ‘4 Better Or 4 Worse’ is off the wall with its bombastic, no filter lyricism, ‘On The DL’ slides through a funky groove with punchy drum cuts and vocals scratched into expert turntablism, and ‘Ya Mama’ is a golden record of cleverly traded, quick witted insults.
