About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

If rap music has taught people anything, it's that even the annoying shimmer of a Mercedes Benz and a pool of high-price hookers can't overshadow true talent. Surprisingly enough, it became clear that the Pharcyde is one of hip-hop's few modern ensembles that stares down modern-day rap and challenges it to a fight. Crafty and cool, Cydeways isn't necessarily genius. Its off-beat and stylistic rhythms and rhymes are an acquired taste at best. But the album still carries innovation that hasn't been touched in years: rap music thriving on a genuine mix of fact, fiction, humor, and memory. "Runnin," "Ya Mama," and "Oh Shit" are creative excerpts from a diary that these boys have carefully crafted. It becomes a kind of coming-of-age story, from making jokes about each other's mother to getting their ass kicked in school. Its undeniable soul is what makes the Pharcyde an underappreciated addition to hip-hop's overplayed and overrated existence in the coming century. So if you still believe in hip-hop, but have become intimidated by its current barrage of smut, simplicity and stupidity, fear not friends -- the Pharcyde's got your back. ~ Darren Ratner, All Music Guide All Music Guide

June 28, 2006: This has got to be the wackest cd I've heard in awhile. I am so extremely disappointed. I'm a huge lover of Questionmark Asylum and everybody kept telling me that Q&A were copycats of the Pharcyde. I want to issue a roundhouse kick to all those people who sent me off. These groups couldn't be further apart. Q&A would never do a song calling themselves jigaboos and saying "well, we'll just get money anyway," singing stupid songs about "Clinton's on his way," and make a whole juvenile song about somebody's mother. Ugh, I'm so incredibly annoyed that I bought this cd. The first time I really paid attention to them was when the light-skinned dude did the "do" with the woman from "Real World" a few years back. I liked the beat to "Passin' Me By" so that sent some more interest, considering a few people were telling me they were just like Q&A. Besides the high jokey voice, it is NOT HAPPENING. I really liked the beats to "Drop," "Runnin'," and "Passing Me By," but when I listened to the words, I realized I'd have done better with the instrumental version. Folks were telling me this was real hip-hop but I'm hearing the b-word and the n-word all through this and a bunch of brainless music. I'm putting this up for sale immediately!
