Bizarre Ride
It was by far their best album. It was so new and refreshing when it first dropped. There was really nothing like it annnnnd Slick did the artwork. it was hands down one of the releases of the that time.
now……..
“Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde: The Singles Collection Music Box” starts with all the singles issued from “Bizarre Ride” on 7 different colors of 7? vinyl. Each record is housed in a full color jackets all packaged into a full color box wrapped in Fuct’s original “Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde” cover art. All cuts are also found on a Double CD which includes liner notes by album producer J-Swift and never before seen Pharcyde photos. The undertaking is rounded out with the inclusion of a 21? x 28? poster and a 120 piece jigsaw puzzle of the iconic rollercoaster cover art. Every aspect of this reissue is a jaw dropper, right down to the box itself which plays the Pharcyde’s “Oh Shit!” when the lid is opened.
This ultra-deluxe set is both a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Pharcyde’s classic debut and this year’s Record Store Day.
Quakers
QUAKERS : ON STONES THROW RECORDS.
Quakers is a hip-hop collective boasting 35 members which orbits around a core of three producers: Fuzzface, 7-Stu-7 and Katalyst.
Fuzzface is better known as Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, a long-time Stones Throw supporter in touch with Peanut Butter Wolf since championing the Jaylib album back in 2004. 7-Stu-7 is Portishead’s engineer and in-house producer at Invada Records in the UK. Katalyst is one of the most respected producers in Australia and a partner in Invada Records.
Disillusioned with much of the hip-hop around them, the like-minded producers set out to create the type of rap record they’d want to listen to. That meant gathering one of the most varied arrays of talent ever seen on a hip-hop record. Rather than just sending beats to the hottest names of the moment, the producers sought out genuine collaborators, regardless of whether they were legendary or simply stumbled upon around the world wide web. Invitations were sent out to golden era legends such as Prince Po and The Pharcyde’s Booty Brown, indie rap titans such as Dead Prez and Phat Kat, and of course some of StonesThrow’s finest: Aloe Blacc, Guilty Simpson, MED and newest signings Jonwayne and Dave Dub all make memorable contributions. There are also some lesser known talents present: band-favorite Coin Locker Kid, Lyric Jones, Estee Nack & more hold it down with their more celebrated peers.
Yet for all the vocal talent, it’s often Quakers’ stellar production that takes center stage, tying together the albums 40+ tracks into a cohesive whole. Heavy beats come thick and fast, from the horn-heavy stomp of “Fitta Happier” to the devastating synthesizer abuse of “Belly of the Beast” and beyond.
Quakers music first appeared in Banksy’s 2011 film Exit Through The Gift Shop and, in case you’re wondering, the name comes from ‘earthquake’. They’re here to shake the foundations.
