That's right-- I did put up the Drop video and didn't say anything about it. I was sitting there thinking about some things and that opening "drrrrooooppp" came streaming through my brain. I put it up there as some what of a teaser. Pharcyde dropped Labcabincalifornia in 1995 and they were as a group a major factor in the change of west coast rap. Keeping in mind what was coming out at that time and that the east coast had always held the reins as the it of it when it comes to rap music in general. Pharcyde had that feel that it wasn't east coast and it wasn't what we had heard of from the west. Now, Labcabincalifornia was their 3rd album, and we knew all about these cats already. Yet they still represented the west in a different fashion. Not only that-- they all came from the infamous South Central area. Going with past South Central MC's, this was a sound that we (being the east coast cats) hadn't heard before. And what a breath of fresh air it was.. So in short-- cuz I have all kinds of things to say-- check out the video-- which in it's own right is a story by itself. Spike Jonze directed it and did a great job putting it all together.. Big up to Dr.Kelly and all the YKH Crew members. The Way of MK
