"Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde" by The Pharcyde (1992)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
The Pharcyde "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde"  1992 (USA)
The Pharcyde made about four albums over a decade or so, but only their 1992 debut album got much attention, making them a perfect example of a group that never lived up to its promise. None of the rappers in this posse got famous (have you ever heard of Imani, Slimkid3, Bootie Brown or Fatlip?) but they came across with tremendous chemistry and charisma on their classic first record. Underground rap styles were taking over the mainstream in 1992, led by Dr. Dre's album The Chronic which married P-Funk grooves and stoner culture with hardcore gangster poses (as well as being the debut of future icon Snoop Dogg). But groovy bohemian groups like Tribe and De La were also still all the rage. The Pharcyde hit the sweet spot between these trends with the sarcastic stoner soul of Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde.
