Excuse my bad knowledge of The Pharcyde, this is probably my first song I've heard from them, but I actually thought this beat was new lol.. btw any other recommendations of their music ?
GrrandSmack Labcabincalifornia has a lot of great songs. “She said” is one of my favorites from them. “Y?” is a good track, “devil music” is good too. “Runnin’” and “Passing me by” are their two most popular tracks besides “Drop”. Enjoy the music my friend!
"Controlling is a swollen way to wreck a proud mind. You hold it in your hands and watch a man start crying. Tear after tear in the puppet man's hands, every time you take a stance, you do the puppet man's dance. And the world's at a standstill, deep in broken-man's-ville, trapped in the moat with an anvil, still killing yourself, and dogging your health. You ain't amphibious, so grab a hold of yourself." Fucking poetry.
I just saw a video that this crew recorded everything backwards and even had to hire someone to help them teach them how to rap they verse backwards for 5 days straight of training. This insane I love the story behind this song, unique.
@@nicholaswojton8258 Pharcyde's songs are always played by DJ's that I accompany, who listens to real hip hop knows that Pharcyde is a Classic, but for new listeners I really think it hard for them to know. Sorry for my english
Same with Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics Imo they are the best rap group ever. Their lyricism in; 93' Til Infinity, 3rd Eye Vision, Trilogy: Conflict, Climax, Resolution, Full Circle, and Montezuma's Revenge cant be touched by any other crew. Their longevity is unrivaled.
J Dilla, Spike Jonze and Mark Gonzalez all in the same place. Three legends in their respective fields contributed to the greatest hip hop video ever. So dope.
16 years old here Aboriginal from Australia living in a busted down ass house and my mum got 9 years in jail so u know living with my grandparents and iv recently gotten into old school hip hop it helps and found this gem much love from here
the quality of this video has no limits, the pharcyde actually rapped the whole song backwards in real life to match the playback! Great director, i think it's the best rap video ever made
Spike Jonze was already a legend to me "US" skaters in early 1990's because he created bLind SKatebards w/ his BFF The Gonz. and made The bLind Video.. The bLind Video was probably my favorite skate video for the best year of my life in skating. I wanna say summer of 1990 or give/take.. But we mainly knew Spike as a skater as he was always in skate magazines.. Aside from this he did a video for Sonic Youth 100%. A epic song that I had no idea there was even a video for it for almost a year.
When youre filming a video thats not how it works- you have it written next to the camera and you hear the song playing backwards, they dont really say words backwards, they say random jibberish that makes their lips look like theyre actually rapping when its reversed
yeah you’re wrong. They memorized it backwards. Don’t talk about shit you’re not for sure about as fact. Don’t spread false information because you made it up in your head. Watch the making of the video or something first.
Spike jonze is a legend. This video is a raw gem. I’ve watched it many times trying to figure out how it’s both forward and backwards. There’s something to that.
This is an all time iconic hip hop video. So unique, original. Just fun stuff all the way around. This album "Labcabincalifornia" is my favorite of all the great stuff they have done. And it came out when i was 23 years old, thanks to hip hop my teens and throughout my 20's was the best time of my life. At least artists like The Pharcyde played a role in making it great. Couldn't imagine missing this Golden Era for anything.
1:02 the way he says "why" and "fame" sound exactly how Andre 3000 speaks his rap. That's crazy how now that I am older that I can pin point where other rappers got their inspiration and style. Andre 3000 got it from Bootie Brown
That’s insane I literally was just thinking and that and happened to your comment right as that came across my mind, it sounds like just him I actually thought it was him for a sec cuz I wasn’t looking at my phone
Remember watching this with my best friend while smoking a couple of joints many many years ago. Me and him were staring at the screen in silence high af and blown away, faraway
My friend Tony was one of the biggest KoRn fans. Sometime in the late 90's or early 2000's we were hanging out and I asked him what Hip Hop he liked and he said "The Pharcyde and Black Sheep". At the time I had a CD Soundtrack of 'Office Space' which featured Slum Village 'Get dis Money" which made me get their album 'Fantastic Voyage Vol 2.' on CD and at the time I didn't realize J Dilla from SV was producing so many other songs, including for The Pharcyde. It was strange before the Internet but I miss it. The only way I would have known that at the time would be to look in the CD booklets of The Pharcyde and notice in small letters "produced by J Dilla". I eventually saw both groups on tour, I think maybe even at the same concert, Rock the Bells. It was shortly before Baatin passed. RIP Tony, J Dilla, Baatin.
This was the most Innovative video in the 90s nothing came close to how this video was film even Kanye West was inspired by this video. Also lets not forget that drop was produced by the legendary J dilla ( R.I.P )
I can't believe I've never heard of this group before. This is not only by far the most original concept for a video that they NAILED, but the song itself is miles above 99% of any other rap song imo. The flow and lyrics feel like a giant maze of domino's are perfectly falling down, knocking over a new row every few seconds in my head.
I wouldn't say that the idea is new in any real way, what it did is took something that plenty of people tried before and surpassed pretty much anyone else. with help from Spike Jonze
Just dropped by to watch this video for the first time in 27-28 years. To this day, it beats me that regardless of how fancy special effects have become, this video is one of the most genious of all music videos ever made - using only one of the earliest and most simple effects known as “reverse”.
@@cgonthebeat3741 Don't act like gangsta rap never existed. We only remember high quality music, but there was a lot of trash then too. The garbage of today will be forgotten just like 90s garbage was.
Spike Jonze for the video, J-Dilla for the instrumentals and sound editing, and the Pharcyde to wrap it all up into this beautiful masterpiece! RIP Dilla! 1974-2006
And yeah, this is still one of the best music videos ever, for the thought and planning, the realisation and execution when they've even tried rapping backwards to match the visuals of people talking normally. @PHARCYDETV - we salute you! 😁😁😁
This is A CLASSIC HIP HOP VIDEO !! Original can’t define it !! Still love this video to this day !!! One of the most underrated groups in this century!!
We used to listen to The Pharcyde when I was in high school (in France), more than 20 years ago, and I saw them live for the first time two weeks ago in a small free festival, on a tiny stage, right next to my former high school. I was there with my high school friends and it brought back so many memories. We all had a great time and so did they, throwing a mini block party at the end of the gig, with the audience dancing on the stage. One of the best hip-hop gig I've seen, and I've seen a few !
1:29... cameo by King ad rock from the beastie boys... he's actually the guy that said the "drop" that they are scratching in their song...cameo by mike d from the beastie boys... the guy on the bicycle... Back when hip hop artists supported each other
Listens and behold the bars how the slide over and back and through. But then again the side is never near but always Phar or maybe this is what they wanted us to feel with Thier vibe.
Out of this world, these are one of the very best of rappers who paved the way for great rappers. Am really speechless, never can't stop loving them. Thanks guys.
Love the actual cameos by the beastie boys on this classic joint 1:211:29 and dtla in the 90s was lit. 2:51 and slimkid was 24 years ahead of the mask covering in LA

They play with words and text, like an afterthought. They don't rap, they do not even talk. They wield words like weapons and it is humbling and forgotten
yo, confession time this is my favorite Pharcyde song and this is the first time I've ever seen this video IM BLOWN THE hell AWAY. I wish hiphop was still like this. so fresh so original so creative kudos to dilla up in heaven. and Pharcyde for making such a classic song that will be played for ages to come
Complete innovators .. hip hop back in the day was something truly special .. the genius of not only these guys but Tribe, de la , etc was mind blowing ..

The creativity of rappers in the 90s was incredible. Very visual and original.
The Pharcyde never got the props they deserved from the mainstream
Unfortunately 🙄 most was on that "Hardcore" boom bap style around that time and most wasn't feeling that "Tribe Called Quest" (Q Tip) style 😉

The mainstream never showed enough respect to these geniuses.
You are joking right? The Pharcyde were extremely popular in the 90s. Most people were bumping The Pharcyde, Quest or Brand Nubian.
And you NEVER hear the pharcyde mentioned in the general history of hip hop and if you do you hear about tribe send brand nubian.

As anyone who has been to a Pharcyde show life knows, they are all great dancers. This video definitely shows their dance and rap skills.
Understandable. They've started off as a dance group. One of the early episodes of "In Living Color" shows some of them dancing.
We used to listen to The Pharcyde when I was in high school (in France), more than 20 years ago, and I saw them live for the first time two weeks ago in a small free festival, on a tiny stage, right next to my former high school.

Another jam, hip-hop turned drastically 😢oh well there's many ol school's who music still realates, now that's vibiing
1:29... cameo by King ad rock from the beastie boys... he's actually the guy that said the "drop" that they are scratching in their song...cameo by mike d from the beastie boys... the guy on the bicycle... Back when hip hop artists supported each other

Cant believe i never noticed that. Good lookin out!
Still watching and loving after all these years, (Great album too) I like it when a cameo appearance is made by the artist being use in the sample,
All the 90's teens and grown peeps know this is a video that can't be replicated. I will always be a standout tune and video for me.🖤

The first part, is filmed on "St Vincent ct" alley way where "Garos Deli" is,
The second part, where the big theatre sign is showing and the beasties boys cameo is, that street is broadway "Los Angeles theatre" (the st Vincent alley way is right behind this)
The ending part, where they past the flourist and hotel, that hotel is called "Alexandria hotel" on 5th street, the (flourist is out of buisness)
And the alley way where they go in and get wet and have a gonz painting at the end is a alley way right accross the hotel, its closed off to the public now
** the only reason i did this is cus i was also curious about the locations and i went out to la to find them myself so im sure some one else out there is too**
You are right
I was curious too

Most impressive part about this is you didn't have to edit this once 👍🏼
this is sick man! no need to provide a disclaimer appreciate the sleuthing
