Those guys were great! Wonder where they are now....

If you like Pharcyde, check out Anotha Level (album...on anotha level) they were huge fans of Pharcyde too, featured them in a couple tracks, and pretty much have that same chill vibe/sound to 'em).

Y'know who I miss? FatLip.

Nothing but a track or two since 2000.

Pharcyde kicked ass, but FatLip was the deal.

Wow. I'm so glad I found this thread...
ALL I ever listen to PERIOD...is golden age era hip-hop.

Here it is...

Going way back, when all you needed was an adidas track suit, some cardboard, and music to have a blast.
You could also buy an e30 new in the showroom, with chrome bumpers ;)


Yeah I'm old, stfu, listening to that shit sure took me back.

I have like 5K vinyl in my basement I need to go through, but am afraid of, may cause a mid-life crisis or something.

Enjoy

Oh yeah, another old fucker in the house!

All that shit was so cool, so different back then. Eric B and Rakim, even Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Marley Marl, Slick Rick (kids thought Cinderfella was done by Snoop, WTF?) and all those old samples...then it got ruined by Ice Ice Baby making all that damn money, then all the sudden rap was everywhere.

And this song was my first even exposure to what was to become rap, heard it on one of those little mono tape players you'd find in a classroom. '83 maybe. Still remember the day.
