Artist: The Pharcyde
Song: "Passin' Me By"
Album: 'Bizarre Ride To The Pharcyde'
Director: Sanji
With all of the buzz surrounding the new Kanye "film", I've decided to post some Hip-Hop videos that are a bit more art-influenced.
The first two Pharcyde albums were my favorites. I liked both albums for different reasons. Lyrically, both records were off the wall. Sonically, the first album had some crazy Fender Rhodes work from J Swift. The follow-up featured some of the first mainstream work from Dilla. No sophomore slump here.
This song/video? It perfectly captures the woe of a heart-broken rapper. The obvious allusion to ones world being "turned upside down" was brilliant. It made the case for authentic Hip-Hop being displayed with artistic visuals.
Art? Hip-Hop? Together? Ha!
Who would've thunk it?
