The Pharcyde – Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

This pressing is definitely worth seeking out. I haven't heard the newer represses or the newest RSD release, but this version sounds incredible.

I have the 1992 Craft recording number CR0008 and it came with 2 copies of the same insert with the image and the details of the Side A and B, is it normal? is it valuable? i need the other side of the insert

One of my favorite hip hop albums of all time. This is a great looking (love the clear yellow and clear blue vinyl) and great sounding release. HOWEVER...the version of “I’m That Type Of...” is different than the version I grew up with on cassette and CD. It almost sounds as if a sample has been removed or something...which is quite possible since this was released by “Craft Records”. I believe this was originally a Delicious Vinyl release (just going off the top of my head here)

early 90s hiphop remains untouched. when you've spun low end theory a few times during the early and more thoughtful parts of the evening high and wanted to finally jump around and bounce off the walls while laughing your ass off, this is the record you followed it with. or de la, or black sheep, or naughty by nature, or i could go on and on. there are no parallels in 2018 for groove-centric hiphop -- it's all garbage now. ya mama, soulflower, oh shit, in me by, these are deep effin grooves -- all the same records that DJ shadow was absorbing for his first effort just fours years away. below me, lawrencestevens2001 needs to smoke more and crank this again front to back.

(Quick Review #45)
Listen: #2

This is just one of those albums, where I would dig almost every track here on its own, since everything here is nice and quality but when all put together in an album it just all blends in and becomes overbearing. It feels too long as an album, since a lot of the same lyrical and production styles are hit. Oh Shit is an amazing start to the album, but then after that everything just goes into a mold where it all blends in unfortuantly. As a 30 minute EP this would have been nice, but as an hour long album its just too much of the same for me to really enjoy it. I understand that this is also because of the time it was released, but that to me doesn't change the fact that I just couldn't dig it because of it. I'm not going to give the album a because it came out before, I'm reviewing it with modern standards. I know this review sounds harsh, and I really do like the songs, it's just as a full album it doesn't work all that well in my opinion.
Don't Kill me it's just my opinion.

Decent to Strong 6

So another reissue is coming out in January of this, however it will be a Respect the Classics release, my record store owner says it will be priced around $35! I don't get it, I thought the whole point of reissues was to get an in demand classic album at a reasonable price? I guess an expensive reissue is better than no reissue but it is an annoying they are price gouging fans on all these Respect the Classics reissues. Most times it's not even worth it, better off hunting for a decent copy of the OG pressing.

Top hip-hop/rap album all time?

The vinyl contains unedited versions of the songs, "I'm That Type of Nigga" and "in' Me By", which unfortunately do not appear on the CD version. The track order is also slightly different.
