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 M Cs 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Pharcyde's Bizarre Ride Ii The Pharcyde\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Barker Andrew (Independent Scholar Usa)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781501321276\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 152 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/4\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Individual Composers \u0026amp; Musicians, Specific Bands \u0026amp; Groups","brand":"Barker Andrew (Independent Scholar Usa)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334117753137,"sku":"IN-G-9781501321276","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781501321276.jpg?v=1746954717","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781501321276-the-pharcydes-bizarre-ride-ii-the-pharcyde","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
