The definition of a crossover record, outlets ranging from Pitchfork to The Source have hailed it as one of the greatest albums ever made. NME calls it "...a cartoon-strip of blunt-smoking antics, sexual innuendo and unashamed political incorrectness, crammed with infectious beats.” Listening to Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde 25 years after its release, its sense of timeliness is unmistakable. Every song on the album inverts a hoary hip-hop cliché. With classics like "Oh Shit," "Otha Fish," "Ya' Mama,” and the now-ubiquitous #1 hit “Passin’ Me By,” Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde remains essential and enduringly unique - a rite of passage for any serious hip-hop head.
