"Passin Me By" was one of the first rap songs I connected with as a kid (also "back in the day" by Ahmad, which is odd as my 'back in the day' is when that song came out.)

But I have to admit one thing: the black ones seem funnier for some reason. The white ones mostly seem pathetic. The reason for this, I'm not sure.

i love Pharcyde, but i can't get behind this... 'better' production? clearer perhaps, but i love the murk of early ATCQ.

Tribe's productions have always struck me as kind of so-so on the whole. I like the vibe they're going for, but most of the beats have never felt very memorable to me.

This thread needs some major work.
Bizarre Ride was great due to the playfulness/age of the group and the focus of J-Swift as a producer.
Similar can be found with Da Wascals album, as also produced by J Swift before his crack addiciton:
The Wascals - The Dips
The Wascals - Hard Rhymes
The Wascals - Class Clown
Labcabin was the first time J Dilla came to full prominence, and the group (with LA Jay) were equally on point.
For all the shooting fish in a barrel that was dismissing 90210 Brian Green, his 1996 album was basically another chapter in this with Slim Kid 3 and LA Jay all over it (despite the weakest song being the lead single).

Anyone seen the reformed full group live? They’re playing a festival here next year and I’m wondering about spunking the $120 on it.

Anyone seen the reformed full group live?
Really, really great. Super-fun, all four totally engaged, everyone performing to be entertaining visually, no wastes of time with endless shout-outs to SYDNEEEEEEEEEY! or call-and-response, no wastes of space with four dudes standing at the back drinking water and towelling their own faces. Pretty much all the hits except Soul Flower, Bootie Brown did Dirty Harry, Fatlip did a cover of My Prerogative with the others throwing synchronised boy-band dance moves, they came back to do What’s Up Fatlip for the encore.

The idea of the group doing What's Up Fatlip kinda makes my day.

reformed full group
― I Was A Taoist Intellectual (sic), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 03:14 (fifteen years ago) link
I saw the full group in the August 1995 in Atlanta headlining for a lineup billed as "The Soul Explosion" that included
Ben HarperBrooklyn Funk EssentialsOmar Lye-FookMichael Franti and SpearheadThe Roots
Pharcyde debuted some of their Labcabin material that day and SMOKED nearly everyone off the stage (The Roots were on their game that day, and I'm a big Omar fan, but still...).
Also learned about D'angelo and (oddly) Insane Clown Posse that day thanks to heavy promo on the grounds.
That was a great era for live music in Atlanta thanks to:www.myspace.com/rudyliciousness

perhaps it's obvious but the influence on OFWGTKTA-gen rappers is evident, in subject matter and rap style if not beats

i think labcabin was a bit of a let down after hearing Drop. It was so out there and different sounding to us as the time and the album didn't have that immediate sound.

no big news, just upping to remind everyone of tre hardson's wonderful 2002 album liberation recently showed up on streaming (at last!). you hafta search slimkid3. it's really good, very neo soul, and captures that early 2000s boho moment perfectly. the goat kim hill features on a few tracks. recommended.
