5.0 out of 5 stars Recognize a classic when you see one!, April 14, 2000

I'm tired. I am tired of having to wait years between decent hip cop cds that I can listen to and absorb and get something new from everytime I listen to it. I long for the mid 90's, when, in my opinion, hip hop was at its prime. And folks, this CD embodied that spirit of innovation and fun that made me fall in love with hip hop.

I remember when the source robbed this CD, giving it only 3 1/2 mics(?). I was mad as hell, but after they gave Master P and Westside Connect praises, I realized how wack and political the source had become. I think that when this cd came out, there was a battle within the industry between being all about the cash and all about the art. We know who won that battle. It set the stage for characters like Jay-Z and Mase to come in and cash in with unoriginal, recycled production a la puff.

Recognize that this is one of the best hip hop contributions ever. Fatlip delivered some of the most memorable verses put on wax. And the production by Jay Dee was fresh and original, as opposed to his work with the Ummah that has sadly become predictable (with his patented beat manipulations that have grown tiresome - check out love movement by tribe, although his work on Common's last joint is alot better). The attitude was fun and innovative. This here joint represents what we lost with the evolution of the rap industry. If you don't have it, you are not hip hop, money. Go get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars true hip-hop from the west coast, December 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Labcabincalifornia (Audio CD)

The Pharcyde blends hip-hop in its truest form. If you love jazz, then The Pharcyde is for you. Although this album is not as inventive as Bizarre Ride, it shows the group's new-found dynamic of incorporating more mature lyrics with the same unique sound of the Cyde. This truly represents the Underground genre of hip-hop in LA! This is west coast hip-hop, forget Snoop and the Dogg Pound and all those who claim to be West Coast Rap. The Pharcyde is the LA sound of hip-hop!

5.0 out of 5 stars this is the best album in hip hop right now, May 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Labcabincalifornia (Audio CD)

It is rare that any hip hop band or solo artist will release something as superior as lab cabin..this cd shows other artists how poor their music is and really shows how music can be taken to another level. Whith jazz samples and incredible lyrics..this shall be a hip hop classic for ages. It amazes me how Master P and Puff Daddy make millions off their bubble gum songs. They shouldd be ashamed of themselves and the incredible amounts of money they make while there is groups like the roots, de la, black moon and the pharcyde making incredible music that will last forever.
