37. The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde
This is probably the most fun hip-hop album ever made, but still should be treated seriously.
The best thing about this album is the subject matter which features tales of personal misfortune, braggadocios boasts, prank calls and, of course, ya mama jokes. All of the above subjects are all said in good humour and it is evident on the song 'Ya Mama'. This song pits all MC's dissing each others mom's with such lines as 'she has the wings and teeth of an African bat' which is funnier then it looks when written. 'Oh Shit' is a hilarious song rife with tales of mis-fortune and questionable sexual escapades and 'I'm the Type of Nigga' is one of the best party songs to ever been created.
The production on this album is handled by group member J-Swift, who sadly left the group to take up a more important crack habit, and it's filled with lush, jazzy samples which compliment the manic sounding lyricism perfectly.
Until tomorrow.....
