	The Pharcyde
		Their auspicious 1992 debut Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde anointed a West Coast version of the abstract in the gangster rap stronghold of Los Angeles.
		While the heft of The Pharcyde sound is diminished slightly by their broken circle, this is an emotionally tangible album that combines delicate content with mature production.
		Pharcyde comes off as true rap veterans, attempting to bring Cali sunshine to dark times.

	The Pharcyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pharcyde is an underground West Coast alternative hip hop act.
		They signed to the influential Delicious Vinyl label in 1991 and soon released Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, which was critically praised though sales were lukewarm.
		The Pharcyde soon began touring with A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul, two alternative hip hop acts, and appeared at Lollapalooza in 1994.

	CSIndy: A hip-hop new year (December 23, 2004)
		The Pharcyde was one of the brightest rising stars of 1992's Fresh Coast (West Coast) explosion, which also included Freestyle Fellowship and Nor Cal's Hieropglyphics crew.
		Pharcyde helped spearhead a fresh-faced facet of hip-hop that, while conceptually focused, was sonically engaging and lacked much of the cliché negativity associated with rap music at the time.
		Pharcyde subsequently released a couple of albums (Chapter One and Plain Rap) that, while embraced by die-hard fans and underground heads, failed to live up to the commercial success of the first two major releases.

	The Pharcyde: Humboldt Beginnings - PopMatters Music Review
		Pharcyde: Go work at the funeral home for a while (you look like you already do work there) and learn from the experts what is funny and what isn't.
		So while the Pharcyde is commonly sided with the socially conscious guys, what I mean to suggest is that the Pharcyde is not Public Enemy, they are entertainers with quick messages and quicker wits, and they have once again failed to realize their own strengths.
		By 2000, the skateboarders had seen the Pharcyde 600 times each and were finally beginning to remember the experience, meaning they didn't need to go see them anymore and sing along to "shot him in the ass on the downstroke".

		Wilcox and Robinson decided to keep The Pharcyde going, and are happy they did, although the past year has not been an easy one for the group.
		By 1992 The Pharcyde released its first album, the eclectic, energetic and humorous "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde," which went Gold in the United States and garnered a great deal of critical acclaim.
		As for the future of The Pharcyde, Robinson said nothing is certain, although an EP is planned for release in a few months.

		Whether The Pharcyde are throwing down about one night stands or the trials of long-term relationships, they aren't ashamed to express longing and loss.
		The Pharcyde were the first group to tour two years in a row on the second stage of Lollapalooza.

		At the time, critics and fans who opted to misread the terrible truth of this failure claimed, as the Pharcyde did in interviews and press releases, that Bizarre Ride was puerile, and that Labcabincalifornia represented a more mature side to the group.
		Indeed, we can say that anything the Pharcyde has made after its debut CD has been "Martin Lawrence doing Gogol," because it is in Gogol's rejection of his masterpiece Dead Souls that we find affinities with the Pharcyde's rejection of Bizarre Ride.
		Likewise, the Pharcyde's first CD lacked boundaries, a moral center, basic principles, and was charged by an energy sourced not from the refined order of heaven but the orgasmic disorder of hell.

		Formed in the early 90's in south central Los Angeles, the Pharcyde is Tre "Slim Kid" Hardson, Royme "Booty Brown" Robinson, Derrick "Fat Lip" Stewart and Imani Wilcox.
		Three fourths of the Pharcyde (Hardson, Wilcox and Robinson) met in the late '80s, not as aspiring rappers, but as dancers.
		The Pharcyde was drastically different from a lot of the other rap that was coming out of south central Los Angeles in the early '90s.

		As a matter of fact I would say that the entire album Bazarre Ride II was the most instrumental album that inspired me to listen to hiphop in the first place.
		Since Pharcyde, Fatlip has hooked up with director Spike Jonze and produced the music video for the "Whats up Fatlip?" and a documentary featured on Spikes "The Work of Director Spike Jonze" DVD (2003).
		The Pharcyde got me into hip hop full stop - I remember seeing the video for "Drop" & needing to hear more like it - I got Labcabincalifornia & my mate taped me Bizarre Ride on the end of a "Specials singles" collection - it's now my favourite hip hop album.

		Surprisingly enough, it became clear that the Pharcyde is one of hip-hop's few modern ensembles that stares down modern-day rap and challenges it to a fight.
		The Pharcyde was making records on Delicious Vinyl when Tone Loc and other two-hit wonders were carrying the label, but years later they endure as one of the greatest and most unique hip-hop groups in the history of the art.
		My first introduction to Pharcyde was several years ago when I saw the video for "Drop" on "Yo, MTV Raps!" From that point on the group has been in heavy rotation in my house.

		Offering a layered mixture of outstanding lyricism with jazz-laced production; the album brought together a Pharcyde that had continued to build on its reputation as one of the West Coast's most respected avant hip-hop groups.
		Satire and humor were Pharcyde trademarks; but the group's humor was tastefully tempered with spiritual consciousness.
		In other songs, such as the poetic, blues-heavy "World," the group reminds us of life's basic reason for living: "What the world needs is a love that's sweeter than melody." And while the Pharcyde may have never been gangstas, this proposition is a revolution of the highest order.

	Fun side of Pharcyde
		It was as if the exit of fellow Pharcyde founders Slim Kid Tre and Fat Lip in the late ’90s meant the end of the group’s funk-flavored grooves, earthy lyrical meditations and hysterical freestyling raps.
		Granted, The Pharcyde’s most defining album, "Bizarre Ride II," is now 12 years old.
		But before that set in, the two had to convince fans The Pharcyde was back in the groove and back on the road.

		Hardson, Wilcox, and Robinson were all dancers and choreographers who met on the L.A. underground club circuit in the late '80s, worked together for a while, and served a stint as dancers on In Living Color.
		After support slots for De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest as well as a successful spot on Lollapalooza's second stage in 1994, the group released its second album, Labcabincalifornia, which was calmer than their first but no less warped.
		After a five-year break which saw little action except for the debut of Stewart as a solo rapper (his single "What's Up Fatlip" became an underground hit), the Pharcyde returned in late 2000 with their third album, Plain Rap.

		"Bullshit" glides in on a scattering of swingbeat stardust before "Pharcyde" kicks in proper with the definitive Pharcyde rap which should be blasting out of every vehicle's stereo from coast to coast.
		"Groupie Therapy" demonstrates The Pharcyde approach to the war of the sexes.

		Three years after the glorious Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde, they returned with a somewhat more bloated project affectionately named after their recording studio.
		Gone were the jazzy soundscapes of J-Swift in favour of the Ummah’s rising star Jay Dee and Slim Kid Tre dug a little deeper to produce some tracks along with the other members.
		They still had time for tales of woe, but just like De La Soul evolved differently between their first and second albums, so too did the Pharcyde.

		The Pharcyde : Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde
		The cover shot of a Fat Albert-ized Pharcyde roller coasting their way into a funhouse makes perfect sense, as the L.A.-based quartet introduced listeners to an uproarious vision of earthy hip-hop informed by P-Funk silliness and an everybody-on-the-mic street-corner atmosphere that highlights the incredible rapping skills of each member.
		Though Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde could have used a few more musical hooks to draw in listeners before they begin to appreciate the amazing rapping and gifted productions, the lack of compromise reveals far greater rewards down the line.

		If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review.
		While the heft of the Pharcyde sound is diminished slightly by their broken circle, this is an emotionally tangible album that combines delicate content with tight production.
		The smart, polished Pharcyde backings - rich in jazz and rare groove - are still in evidence, but it's easy to miss the gawky verbals of all four rappers.

		Like De La Soul's Three Feet High & Rising, the Pharcyde's 1992 debut came at a time when hip-hop was headed in one direction, but the group was going somewhere else entirely.
		A crew of spunky b-boys armed with a self-deprecating sense of humor, the Pharcyde made an album that was fresh and profoundly honest.
