The Pharcyde (pronounced "far side") is an American alternative hip-hop group, formed in 1989, from South Central Los Angeles. The original four members of the group are Imani (Emandu Wilcox), Slimkid3 (Trevant Hardson), Bootie Brown (Romye Robinson), and Fatlip (Derrick Stewart). DJ Mark Luv was the group's first disc jockey (DJ), followed by producer J-Swift and then J Dilla.
The group is perhaps best known for the hit singles "Drop", "Passin' Me By" and "Runnin'", as well as their first album, Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde (1992).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Listen to the track to get the feel, and you can look for the lyrics on pretty much any pharcyde website. If you can get this one down, you'll get all the chicks at house parties. If your a girl, then you'll get all the guys (i would dig it!)
There are only two chords: F# B these are used throughout the WHOLE song. An improvised solo in the key of F# fits really well into the song after the second chorus.
This is where the chords fit in:
F#B Little sally Walker, Sittin' in a saucer, F#B Oh how I tossed that ass uh. F#B Like a mission in the woods, woody wood pecker would, F# if he could.........etc.
That's pretty much the way the whole song goes. It's great song to play around with and try different things. Have fun.
