Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde: Original Samples

John Q from Lyrics To Go hit us up again with another sweet sample set!  Like other 90s back packer albums from artists such as De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde make great use of old jazz and funk samples.  I found it extremely interesting that they sampled Madhouse, which if you don’t know was a jazz band Prince put together in the 80s.

Bizarre Ride featured the acclaimed production work of J-Swift, who provides the album with a lush, jazzy soundscape through use of live instrumentation and sampling.   Aside from the samples, Swift also provided piano, as well as, bass  on the album, and fellow producer JMD provided drums arrangements. All Music Guide calls the album’s production “easily some of the tightest and most inventive of any hip-hop record of the era.”  NME magazine stated, “The Pharcyde use jazz samples and phat beats to the ultimate effect: to create their own sonic Utopia.”.

This collection right here should be in everybody’s library as it is in itself a library of great music.  Just check the tracklist, download, and see for yourself!
