On November 14, 1995, West Coast rap group the Pharcyde released the sublime LP Labcabincalifornia. It was the follow-up to their kaleidoscopic, gold-selling first album Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde, which had won over audiences with a refreshingly upbeat sound and cartoon-ish aesthetic on tracks like “Ya Mama,” “Passin’ Me By,” and “Otha Fish.” While equally beloved by devout fans and released only three years after their debut, the band’s second album, however, is a much more mature and soulfully sombre work. “Every-time I step to the microphone I put my soul on two-inch reels that I don’t even own” is the haunting refrain that loops round and round over the hypnotic beat of Labcabin’s sobering and self-aware track “Devil Music.” From a band who initially won over the hip-hop scene in the early ’90s with their open and light-hearted music, what had prompted such profound meditations on the nature of being a recording artist? The tremendous critical and commercial acclaim that Bizarre Ride received led the group to embark upon extensive touring (note: prior to the Pharcyde’s success Fatlip had never set foot on a plane before) and experience the inevitable pressures of success. Consequently, their follow-up Labcabin is in part a collection of deep reflections from a young band catapulted into stardom.
Intimate musings on love, morality, music, relationships, conflict, life, and death feature throughout and resonate through the record’s rich melodies. The tone of the Pharcyde’s music altered as their careers advanced and awareness of their surroundings became nuanced; after starting out sharing tales of teenage angst and mischief the band began talking about the pressures of the music industry and seedy experiences of earning a living through music. From the standard tales of high school crushes in Bizarre Ride’s “Passin Me By”—the classic hip-hop joint of adolescent unrequited love—uglier dynamics of romance were introduced and played out in Labcabin’s “Groupie Therapy.” The band had experienced how popularity-boosting success can attract opportunistic crowds and distort one’s real-life grounding. Even seemingly light-hearted songs about getting high reflect a marked change in the band’s outlook.
Bizarre Ride’s “Soul Flower” overflows with infectious energy and enthusiasm for the rap game they are breaking into: “Michael Ross is the genie and he’s giving us our wishes,” whereas “Splattorium” on Labcabin has a much more mellowed tone and disillusioned stance: “Rollin’ herbals for the verbals. Extractions and distractions,” showing getting high as a distraction from the troubles of the industry. The Pharcyde’s frustration with, and deviance against, the music industry and mainstream West Coast hip-hop of the time is visualised in Spike Jonze’s video for “Drop” as the group deftly defy gravity—dancing forwards whilst the masses surrounding them play in backwards motion. The video’s aesthetic and innovative directorial style are perfectly in tune with the song’s musical context and warped aural composition, courtesy of the late, great, J Dilla (back when he was still Jay Dee). Labcabin did not initially receive the same level of reception that it’s predecessor did upon it’s release, but is a work that has steadily gained recognition. Widely upheld as one of the most influential hip-hop producers and cited as a favourite by many, J Dilla’s fan-base has been solidly growing since his tragic death in 2006—a classic case of posthumous praise of artistic talent.
Dilla’s notorious innovation in sampling and his absorbing production style can be heard in the singles “Runnin’” and “Drop,” working his magic on the Stan Getz Jazz Samba Encore and The Beastie Boys, respectively. Much of the album’s composition holds a strikingly intimate quality, heightened by the sense that the songs chosen to be woven into Labcabin’s rich tapestry are the intensely personal and dear music tastes of the band. Straight from the soul of SlimKid3 comes the production of “She Said”—could there be a more magnetic and broodily compelling use of sampling than the presence of Buddy Miles’s electric guitar from his rendition of Neil Young’s “Down by the River?” You can imagine listening to “Down by the River” over on repeat at night, and just feel the longing and desire rising in the chest of the song’s protagonist.
And for Fatlip, incorporating “Da Mystery of Chessboxin’” into “Devil Music” stems from his personal admiration and adoration of the Wu-Tang Clan. When talking of realising the level of dedication from hard-core Pharcyde fans he has said in interviews: “Well, I can fathom it. Because I know how much I love Wu-Tang” The placement of the verse, his own inspiration, “my hip-hop will rock and shock the nation” within such a mellow and disillusioned track is a very bittersweet poetry.
Essentially, Labcabin is a record that has endless depths and layers to experience and delve into—not only with regards to the music’s composition, but the stories and tensions behind it’s creation. Referring to the various arguments and fallings out that occurred during the recording process, J Dilla even said: “The making of the Pharcyde’s Labcabin album was hilarious. It was just all the way. It got me prepared for what was ahead in this rap game.” SlimKid3 also concludes that certain songs would have been different “all together on a spiritual level” had certain fights not broken out and been resolved as they were. While unfortunate that conflict was such a feature of Labcabin’s creation, both verbal and physical conflicts between members as well as inner conflicts within themselves, it is an undeniable component that contributes to the album holding such intensity and honesty. Stemming from such turbulent times, Labcabin rose like a phoenix from the flames—transforming all of the Pharcyde’s energies into a sonically stunning and cohesive listening experience, one that flows like some beautifully haunting dream.
Even with six different producers (including Diamond D and M-Walk) and varying emcees on each track, there is a consistent spirit and a shared mood that permeates the record. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Labcabincalifornia, our friend Chris Read has crafted a fly-as-pie mix of album tracks, remixes, and original sample material. Tune in and enjoy!

Bootie Brown recalls that their earlier dancing careers influenced their – 'sometimes the way I rap is almost like the way I used to dance'. The group met Reggie Andrews, a local high-school music teacher who worked with and, and who was a major musical influence on their debut album. The group also met producer around this time, as he was Reggie Andrews's 'star pupil' according to the book. Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde The Pharcyde recorded their first demo in 1991, which contained the songs ', 'Ya Mama', and 'Officer', and hired a manager, who had worked for, and. Mike Ross of heard the demo and the group was signed to the label in the summer of 1991 – they were first featured on 's album, on the song 'Soul Flower', released by in 1992.
The group, along with producer, recorded their first album, which was released in September 1992. The album was certified Gold by the in 1996. The album was highly acclaimed, and became one of the most praised and influential albums of the 1990s. Their second single ' became a minor Billboard hit, peaking at No. The song was later featured in the hit movie and was also a crossover hit. The song is now usually considered a golden-era staple and is the group's most well known song. The album featured a couple of guest MCs, including Bucwheed (known then as Buckwheat, formerly of the alternative hip-hop group The Wascals) on the tracks 'On The DL' and 'I'm That Type of Nigga'.
Problems between the group and producer began during the recording of the debut, with infighting and 'personality conflicts'. J-Swift started a habit, from which he is still trying to recover.
A documentary, (2007), recorded his attempts to recover from his addiction and to regain his music career. After the Bizarre Ride album was released, the group began touring with and, culminating with an appearance at the show in 1994. In 1994, Pharcyde appeared on the 's compilation album,. The album, meant to raise awareness and funds in support of the AIDS epidemic in relation to the African American community, was heralded as 'Album of the Year'. Labcabincalifornia In 1995, The Pharcyde released their second album,. The album received mixed reviews, maybe due to a different musical direction from the light-hearted playfulness of their debut. The album included another big crossover hit, ', peaking at No.
55 on the Billboard Hot 100. This single was later featured in the movie, as well as the soundtrack. Labcabincalifornia featured production from producers (who handled the majority of the production).
Member Slimkid3 has stated that the group met Jay Dee by way of of, who handed them the tape that contained some of the production that would end up on the LP. This album generated lower sales, not reaching gold status. A music video for the song ' was directed. Problems grew between Fatlip and the other MCs after this album, resulting in his leaving the group. In the documentary Cydeways: The Best of the Pharcyde, while the group is performing in shows they still offer their support to Fatlip, telling the crowd that if they support Fatlip on his solo career then they support The Pharcyde and vice versa. 1997–2000 The group was largely missing from the hip hop scene between 1997 and 1999.
The three remaining members returned in 2000 with an EP titled Chapter One: Testing the Waters. The group released a full studio album later in 2000 titled. The album had a lukewarm reception both critically and commercially. Soon after the release, member Slimkid3, now going by his birth name of Tre Hardson, left the group to pursue a solo career. In 2002, he released his first solo album titled Liberation. In the music video for the song 'Trust' (featured on Plain Rap), the rest of the group's disdain for Fatlip's departure is evident as he is portrayed as a sad-faced clown, being constantly attacked in the video.
Tre Hardson's animated self is shown to transform into a phoenix that flies away at the end of his verse, which can be interpreted as more of an acceptance of his departure from the remaining two members. 2001–2004: Humboldt Beginnings With only two members remaining, Bootie Brown and Imani continued with the group name and released in 2004.
