Diggin' in the Crates: Vol. 3

Since Ric is a slackin ho, I have decided to provide the next installment in his little series. Anyways, this is the Pharcyde, an alternative hip-hop group similar to the likes of A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. Many of my favorite rappers (including Cudi... thank you wikipedia) have listed the Pharcyde as an influence, so I decided to get their debut album, Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde. I was hooked on their style. The song below is their first single "Passin' me By," and it definitely has distinct of flavor to it, particularly the first verse. Give it a listen and see what you think.
