My condolences guys, I found this Channel & wanted to show it to my dad ever since but unfortunately he also passed away last year before I could travel to Colombia to see him and ever since this channel has been so much more important to me because it just reminds me of sharing music with my music loving dad. Much love Kai & Dad
I was literally introducing my son to this song yesterday. He’s 17 and loved it. Crazy how y’all are talking about it today. The universe is awesome man👊🏼
I remember hearing this all the time on the radio as a kid. I really miss the samples from the 90s and the carefree lyrics from that time. If you didn’t grow up during the 90s I feel sorry for you. It was a beautiful time for music.
No sympathy necessary. Those of us who grew up in the 70s and lived through the 90s remember the time quite well since we were old enough to drive, buy our own concert tickets and drink . 😁
Pharcyde said they formed after watching Freestyle Fellowship perform. They were like the Tribe Called Quest of LA. You should react to Inner City Boundaries, it's a must listen 🔥
Maaannn, gangsta rap got all the press but the West coast quietly had something else bubbling up on the underground that was arguably even better from the likes of Pharcyde, Tha Alkaholiks, Souls of Mischief, Ras Kass, Freestyle Fellowship, Saafir, Del, Lootpack, Jurassic 5, and Blackalicious, just to name a FEW.....
"Nevertheless, I'll say it again," that is echoed in the chorus of this song is from Whoodini's song, FRIENDS. The line is, "Nevertheless, I'll say it again that these are the people that we call friends."
Yess!!!! Pharcyde!!! I had this back on cassette tape right after high school. One of the best albums of the early 90’s era. Grateful that your dad gets to hear this dope group
The snap crackle pop is in the Quincy jones sample Summer in the city. It would simply be that way because the actual vinyl record J Swift owned was old, probably an original pressing from 1973. Notice fatlips verse, the sample is filtered (all the high pitch frequency is compressed into the low so you don't hear the crackling, then halfway through its unfiltered and you hear the organ and the crackling again. One of my favourite songs of any genre. Glad you enjoyed it.
Some vinyl was dirty due to wear and tear and age of the records. It became a part of the sound. Stack enough samples and the snap and crackling will get loud. It really comes to light during mastering when they add compression and other processes to bring up the levels to industry standard.
I’m so envious of you and your dads relationship but in a great way. It’s amazing to see what you all have. I wish my father and I could sit down and just listen to music. I haven’t seen him in 7 years. Much love man
The whole Album is a vibe. And i finally saw them live last month in zurich. Imani jumping arround on stage like a 15year old b-boy. A lot of the big names in Hip Hop just live from the name they made back in the days. But these guys are still on top.❤
Yeah "Otha Fish" is incredible. I feel like no one can bounce like the South and the East has traditionally always had the purest lyricists but when it comes to flow, THAT crown goes to the west. No one does what Cali rappers do from a melodic standpoint. You even think a lot of people believe Bone Thugs got their style of flowing from Myka Nyne of Freestyle Fellowship........
This was the year Dr Dre's The Chronic RULED our CD decks. We had shit from Ice Cube, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Das Efx, Eric B & Rakim, Redman, BDP, Lord Finesse, Da Lench Mob, Paris, Arrested Development, DJ Quik, MC Serch, XClan, Pos K, Grand Puba, House of Pain, Public Enemy and man oh man, did this track get stuck in all of our heads despite all of those distractions!!
@@MontweezyI saw them 2015 at the Royal Arena Festival here in switzerland. You can find it on youtube, it's a must see. The DJ's made a great show after the concert, scratching on a big turntable who was installed on the stage. and they had some crazy instruments😂
The snap crackle and pop is called “popcorn” it’s inherently in vinyl, especially with records that have been used. Some producers would enhance popcorn sounds with samples to make the songs grittier. Also, early EQing couldn’t remove popcorn sounds in all cases.
The weird thing is when looking for that static in sound packs to make beats, it's labeled "bacon". I used to make joints with no samples and just add that to it. Erick Sermon did it in one of his best making vids. Craziness.
Pharcyde was also highly influenced by Freestyle Fellowship. That slightly faster couple of bars toward the end were likely inspired by FF member P.E.A.C.E. who Fatlip specifically mentions in his documentary.
@thefrontroom I’m a huge old school head, and I love these videos. Cannot believe you haven’t listened to my all time fav group, A Tribe Called Quest. Also, I HIGHLY recommend you listen to “Luchini” from Camp Lo. Produced by Pete Rock. Camp Lo is one of the most underrated groups. They had record label issues that kinda sank their career before they could really take off. I know your dad will love them. They’ve got a very unique 70s Blaxploitation mixed with jazz sound.
The crackling wasn't left in or applied. In the beginnings of hip-hop, we worked with what we had and had absolutely no way to take it out. People that didn't have the equipment to make their own beats, used a lot of samples. The crackling is incidental and sounded good. It was just there. It's like watching a movie and seeing insects in the background. You don't add them in or take them out. They're just there and it works. It's part of nature. It was later that people started to choose to add it in or take it out, and this was only after equipment had the ability to do so and people either wanted a clean sound, or a nostalgic authentic old sound. In the beginning, it wasn't a choice. I know... I was there.
I was a sophomore in highschool when this came out and we listened to this album relentlessly. Another album from 1992 he might love is Guru’s Jazzmatazz Volume 1.
I smoked to much weed back in the days. So i can't remember years. But i googled 1992 Hip Hop Albums....damn. Gang Starr - Daily Operation Pete Rock&C.L. Smooth - Mecca and the Soul Brother Showbiz&A.G. - Runaway Slave Double X Posse - Put ya Boots on Just to name a few of my favorites. By the way, i was born in 1992😁
A lot of people don’t know about this one 3xDope - Funky Dividends It’s about women who just want you for your money kind of a one hit wonder, but really good good too
Since the beginning of this channel I've been asking you to react to Jedi Mind Tricks - Uncommon Valor. One of the best hip hop verses ever. I want to see your dads reaction.
8:05 the way your dad immediately picked up “are you experienced” by Jimi Hendrix was awesome. Music is universal. Connecting generations with one another through sampling and recycling. Some see it as knockoff , but I’m glad to see your dad isn’t closed minded and is welcoming to that sort of thing. The main sample is Quincey Jones - summer in the city.
Hip hop didn't start until 1973. 50 years last year. You must be getting up there. At least 60 to actually be able to understand the lyrics. I'm not far behind being 58,
I remember getting this cd as part of the infamous BMG 10 CDs for the price of 1 deal, after having reading a review of the album in some magazine. Whole album is great! Lot of great hip-hop today but I wish more would have the courage to be goofy and vulnerable like Pharcyde.
thanks guys! love the reactions!DAD nailed IT! Picked off that Hendrix right out of the gate. good ear! Really good guys. At that point for me I would have to read the album or cd to find the samples and then spend a whole day going record store to record store to find and buy the original. It opened my eyes to James Brown, Isley brothers, Average White Band, Parlament and soooo many more. The depth of research you are doing, like here for example, sort of finnished my quest to know the whole story. Great to watch these and come full circle. Thank you.
There's a Cuban Son group called Los Hacheros, who make new music but on old recording tape so it sounds so beautiful and authentic, like old folk Caribbean music.
Souls of mischief later on became The Hieroglyphics coming from Oakland California. Del the funky Homosapien aka Deltron 3030 from the group does performances with a live orchesta and DJ Kid Koala that are nothing short of epic. Del was also in the song Feel good inc by The gorillaz.
Souls of Mischief is part of collective of Hieroglyphics. Del(cousin of Ice Cube) was the leader of sorts but it contained Souls of Mischief, Casual(who is a beast), Domino, Snupe, Pep Love, Mike G. & Mike P. That was the lineup back in the day anyway. And Del was also on Gorillaz, Clint Eastwood & Rock the House.
I discovered you guys literally just yesterday. And you guys just reacted to one of my favorite songs ever! Lovvvve Passin’ me By..So I appreciate the great song choices and music taste.this a lot. I’ve been binging on the whole channel. I live s ask the appreciation for Erykah Badu and The Roots as well. Need more of them and Biggie too. Keep up the great work! I definitely suggest done Lil Kim, Snoop and Missy Elliot for the future. …. 💙🖤🩶….Gucci Mane Yellow react would be fun too! lol 🤪 💛
Takes me back to 8th grade and playing this on the blacktop while shooting ball (had it on cassingle lol). If I remember correctly it dropped toward the end of the school year because I remember hearing it being played everywhere that summer. Love it as much now as I did the first time I heard it! Really really good (and fun) album.
Very insightful comment regarding the velocity of tech advances during the 90's. It would be very interesting to see an in-depth look at how tech influenced musical evolution throughout the 90's and early 00's
22:09 - 22:19 Wow, thank you for mentioning the Elvis Presley references there. Those went over my head for decades now. Finally someone takes the time to appreciate the Pharcyde song that documented use of modern day words / terminology: "Simp" & "Low-Key" in a disarming way.
The static is something that you get from vinyl samples. I think they enhanced on the beat. Another grouo that applied that sound was The Roots in their song distortion of static. The irony was they were/are a hip hop band that makes it a point to use live instruments.
Pharcyde took inspiration from groups like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and the rest of the Native Tongues collective who were from the East Coast.
I think, what they got the inspiration for from The Doors movie might be Alabama Song(Whiskey Bar). Listen to it and you might agree. Both song similar and makes sense
Back here for another suggestion that would be great: Black Sheep - "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" (the album) is in my opinion a gem from the early 90's
In 1992 the vinyl fuzz was not an applied effect later on. Yes, but in 92 it was from digging for records in the craziest collections in the dirtiest most rundown thrift shops you've ever seen.
Summer in the City" by Quincy Jones, "125th Street Congress" by Weather Report, and "Are You Experienced?" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience These are 3 of the songs sampled for this song. Thank you both I enjoy watching your vids. My mom and I stay talking about music all the time. I am 52 years old and not only do I know where and what the samples are because the sampled songs are from my childhood but as a young adult at the time when this song and album came out it takes me right back to a place and chokes me up still. Peace from the south side of Chicago.
GUYS PLEEEEEEEASE REACT TO ATCQ! For some reason they get looked over by all the other reaction channels and they have debatably one of the best hip hop discographies of all time! 😭😭😭😭 (love this upload btw just had to voice that)

I am 52 years old and not only do I know where and what the samples are because the sampled songs are from my childhood but as a young adult at the time when this song and album came out it takes me right back to a place and chokes me up still.
Peace from the south side of Chicago.
Rza and Premier to name a few noticeably have that on track. Pete Rocks intro to tracks generally had that crackle.
Did not know about the Elvis references! That was a nice fun fact.
GUYS PLEEEEEEEASE REACT TO ATCQ! For some reason they get looked over by all the other reaction channels and they have debatably one of the best hip hop discographies of all time! 😭😭😭😭 (love this upload btw just had to voice that)
Pops gotta here FRONTLINE,
also by Pharcyde.
