Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde

A Technicolor explosion of jazzy loops and self-deprecating wit. The definitive West Coast alternative hip-hop record that traded street bravado for teenage angst.

It's the funniest, most relatable hip-hop album ever made by four guys who are better at jazz than your favorite band.

A vibrant, chaotic, and deeply charming blend of teenage insecurity and musical brilliance.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The iconic, melancholic organ loop on 'Passing Me By' that perfectly captures the ache of unrequited love.

The chaotic, competitive 'Yo Mama' jokes traded over a frantic, jazzy beat that sounds like a playground argument.

The smooth, bossa-nova-inflected piano and Slimkid3's melodic flow on 'Otha Fish' providing a moment of serene vulnerability.
