You got to enjoy the ride

There are a handful of albums you look back on and realize they were exactly what you wanted to hear at that moment and Pharcyde's debut, Bizarre Ride, was truly one of those records. One of the first easy-going rap records I ever really loved. The cadences and beats and samples, the lyrics and themes, everything was perfectly pitched and it hit me at just the right time. Joyously funny without being slight. There were a handful of videos from that record available out there but the sound wasn't right on any of them so I'm settling for the comeback single with a classic Spike Jonze video. Not bad for a fallback.

Pharcyde -- 'Drop'
