As immediately believable as they were cartoonish, as much an inner
city cipher as a suburban boys gang, the foursome that made up the
Pharcyde were the most relatable MCs to ever pass the mic. On their
debut and magnum opus Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, they created a
record almost overstuffed with possibility, the sound of four
restless man-children fresh out of their teens, finding a perfect
outlet in a form of music that was just as young and fertile. And
like the product of any adolescent, Bizarre Ride wears its
contrarianism and contradictions on its sleeve. It's a party album
about shyness and unrequited love. A swirl of jubilant L.A.
psychedelia recorded in the midst of the Rodney King trial. A blast
of black consciousness that still makes room to poke fun at Public
Enemy and reference the Pixies. A dense, sophisticated sonic stew
punctuated by yo mama jokes and prank calls. While hip-hop was
already calcifying its tropes of steely machismo and aspirational
fantasy, Bizarre Ride was a pure distillation of the average
hip-hop listener's actual lifestyle-the joys and sorrows of four
guys who were young, broke, sexually frustrated, and way too clever
for their own good. A touchstone for Kanye West, Drake, Lil B and a
whole generation of off-center MCs, Bizarre Ride sketched out a
whole strata of emotions that other rappers hadn't yet dared to
tackle, and to a certain extent, still haven't.
