The Pharcyde's Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde

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. Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde represents 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. 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.
