The Pharcyde released their second album Labcabincalifornia November 14, 1995

Labcabincalifornia is the second album by The Pharcyde, released in 1995, three years after their debut Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde. The album’s production was handled by The Pharcyde themselves and Jay Dee, with additional help from Diamond D and M-Walk. The first single was “Drop”. The video for “Drop” was directed by Spike Jonze, and used footage of the group performing the song backward, replayed backward, giving it a surreal quality. The backward theme of the video is also a reference to the song itself, which features a backward sample. “Drop” was a hit, as was the follow-up single “Runnin’,” which peaked at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Overall, this album is a more mellow and introspective affair than their debut and features more somber themes such as dealing with fame and success, drug abuse, and broken-down relationships. Album sales compared to Bizarre Ride did not fare as well; the group was not able to reach Gold status. Although it received mixed reviews upon release due to the group’s sudden shift of direction from its previous album, it received critical acclaim in retrospective reviews, with many lauding its consistency, smooth production, and touchy subject matter. After Labcabincalifornia was released, Fatlip left the group to concentrate on his solo career.
