Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde
Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde is an
alternative hip hop album by
The Pharcyde, released in
1992 (see
1992 in music). Commercial success was limited, though surprising as
gangsta rap had begun dominating the charts. The recent blockbuster success of
De La Soul's
3 Feet High and Rising may have helped establish an audience for The Pharcyde's wacky sense of humor and positive lyrical focus.
