Both pretty groundbreaking groups.I'm gonna have to go with The Pharcyde, there music was just more funner and exciting then Tribe. The samples they chose were perfect and the rhymes were always on point. Bizarre Ride easily tops any tribe album in my opinionWhich one do yall prefer?

    Alright i get it, it's a boring redundant thread. both groups are much too talked about when we could be discussing which Milt Jackson record is the best. Just saying....

    If you'd bothered to read SS you'd realize that you're more likely to read a thread on elbows than music

    Yeah, that's what i'm saying. I see more threads about celebrity scandals on here then music

    Well, OK, taking the thread as what it is, I still have to ask, are you kidding?

    it's not even a contest really... pharcyde just doesn't have as many great songs as tribe. i don't really agree with you about the voice either, but i dont think that really matters.

    Hey Reed,

    1) Which ATCQ album do you place as thier best.
    2) Is your favorite the consensus fav.

    3) Then make a track for track comparison.

    I love the first Pharcyde album and think the production is amazing, but they are hardly an ovreall better group. One amazing album does not trump two of the best in the genre (midnight, low end). Bizarre Ryde is great, but hardly makes them a better overall group. They fell apart quickly after that album and aren't really even comparable to Tribe.

    A Tribe/De La battle makes sense, but Tribe/Pharcyde isn't much of an argument. I know it's all opinion, but I think majority will be against you.

    For many years Pharcyde and ATCQ have blessed us with beautiful rapmusic, gave us albums that still sound fresh and can be enjoyed from beginning to end and all this in a world torturing us with an overwhelming output of plain shitmusic.
    It's just sooooo unnecessary to start discussing who's better. It's not a given fact that there always has to be a solitary winner on top of everything. Variety is the key.

    I just give you two examples of songs that were No.1 in the german charts in the recent years. Perhaps you can understand then why I'm not feeling the need to oppose two of my alltime favorite rapgroups.

    Bullshit.

    This type of discussion is the heart & soul of music critique.

    It exposes dudes tastes in music and creates pantheons/canons.

    "there both good, why compare" is

    Pharcyde are clearly influenced by the Native Toungue sound.

    yes, no discussion or critique of music without involvement and pure subjectivity. But I disagree on the necessity of these forced and completely artificial antagonisms.

    While I agree with you on the Tribe>Pharcyde point, I have to defend Labcabincalifornia. I play that shit as much as any of Tribe's or Pharcyde's albums. But yeah, overall, Pharcyde's catalog ain't seeing Tribe's.
