What comes to mind when you hear West Coast Rap? Gangsta rap. Obviously. Chucks. Red and blue colors. An elbow and gang signs out the window. Drive-bys. The smell of gunpowder. The scent of alpha male energy. The taste of blood… So when The Pharcyde showed up, you can imagine the shock. Like a massive suitcase dropping on that whole stereotype. Humor. Good vibes. Guys who can rap, sing, dance—and look great doing it. Sounds like a hippie cliché from a vegan store flyer, but it’s just feel-good music that puts a smile on your face. Pure chill.
