The Pharcyde “Drop” from the album Labcabincalifornia. Video directed by Spike Jonze.
It took three years for The Pharcyde to follow up on their debut release, Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde. Not that they didn’t keep busy in that period with supporting slots for De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest as well as a successful spot on Lollapalooza’s 1994 tour. Of course J-Swift had parted ways with the group just before the conclusion of the Bizarre Ride sessions. Rather than try to out an out replace Swift, production on Labcabincalifornia was handled by the Pharcyde’s own Bootie Brown, Fatlip and Slimkid3 along with contributions from Diamond D, M-Walk and very notably the work of a recent arrival in LA, Jay Dee aka J Dilla. The resulting project, Labcabincalifornia, maybe calmer than the group’s debut but it s no less warped with stand out cuts like “She Said”, “Drop”, and “Runnin’”. The lead single, “Drop” was supported by one of the best videos ever directed by Spike Jonze and along with the above mentioned singles propelled solid sales on Labcabincalifornia ultimately securing it’s own position in the pantheon of must have records.
“If Labcabincalifornia came out today, boasting production by J Dilla on seven out of 17 tracks would be a big deal…” – Complex Magazine

Now I'm starting to wonder whether they did a reverse music video because of the fact that the sample from "Django" that was used in this beat was also reversed lol
Spike jonze is a legend. This video is a raw gem. I’ve watched it many times trying to figure out how it’s both forward and backwards. There’s something to that.
Genius. !!!!!
Best video of the decade
pord
Early hip-hop is one-hundred-percent funkadelic.
Was the lyric "Drop" sampled by the Beastie Boys?
Is the thumbnail Gonz art?

Is the drop from the Beastie Boys? Been listening this song for years. Haven’t really noticed it sounded like them until now. I need confirmation lol
Genius and legendary track, sad that im the only one back
No music video from the artists of today can match this!!!
Great opening shot
Back when there was creativity in music. And music videos.
❤
Low key, this is one of the best, most creative music videos of all time. I challenge you to find one better.

宇多田ヒカルのミニスカいい
So glad I got to see them, 311 and steel pulse at the boathouse
Meu. Clip favorito
And then tell me that hip-hop music from the 90s is not the best! Unattainable by today's rap jesters !!❤
They didn’t make a million but they made a fan out of me!
2023 still banging
Vim pelo clipe da música que o Chayco se inspirou "Caramellow"
The "DROP!" Sample sounds like plankton screaming it
これだーーー！さがしてた
I always thought the dude in the background sounded like plankton. "DROP?!"
This is one of the best music videos I've ever seen.
