ARE THEY GOING BACKWARDS?? The Pharcyde - Drop (REACTION)

[@KingAhmadTv]

I missed the beastie boys cameo 😭🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@nathanneelyoutlawdiditprod2891]

He sampled the "Drop" from the Beastie Boys song, "The New Style". If you pay close attention, 2 of the Beastie Boys make cameos. The guy on the bike is Mike D and Ad-Rock pops in, wearing sunglasses and a blue shirt, and says "Drop" a few times in the hook.

[@JusttMiike]

That mf sound like Plankton

[@wiebrenwilbers2178]

@@nathanneelyoutlawdiditprod2891 isn’t it from “intergalactic”?

[@nathanneelyoutlawdiditprod2891]

@wiebrenwilbers2178 They sampled the "Drop" from themselves on "Intergalactic" which came out in '98. "The New Style" was on their "License To Ill" album from '86. You made me notice something though. This video resembles the "Intergalactic" video a lot in how it was shot and its style. Wouldn't be surprised if this where they got the idea and somebody said let's just do it backwards.

[@wiebrenwilbers2178]

@ love that knowledge bro! Thanks for educating. Love that I got you thinking about it again as well!

[@wiebrenwilbers2178]

@ seems I need to re-listen “licensed to ill” ;)

[@tywayne3]

Yes...they...are...lol. The behind the scenes is crazy. They had a linguist create their 'backwards language' and they had to learn it for the video! Bizzare Ride is a worthy album reaction. Also, Digital Underground's Sex Packets for west vibe.

[@chrisv966-sp7dj]

The video was filmed in reverse AND the group members had to learn the song in reverse, so when it was played, it looked like they were saying it normally. Spike Jonze is the director, and was the director for BIG's "Sky's The Limit" video also. Check that one out too when you have a chance.

[@munganduchivubwe]

THE GREAT JDILLA RIP Even the sample was chop backwards.

[@VIISkies]

I normally don’t pause Nas whenever he comes on, but as soon as I saw the title, I had to stop what I was doing to watch this. One of my favorite Pharcyde songs.

[@DaliDessalines]

[@DerekRobinsonTech]

You need to put the Pharcyde in your rotation of albums to review if you haven't already, they are a vibe, before the vibe was a thing...LOL! I would start with "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde" which was their intro to everyone outside of the West! (4 Better Or 4 Worse, is one of the craziest hip-hop songs ever made). Pharcyde and Souls of Mischief, and the Hieroglyphics Crew ushered in a different West Coast sound that was dope!

[@zncuentertainment712]

They used to play the hell out of this on Yo! MTV Raps.

[@tallgodheru7397]

BizzarreRideToThePharcyde is one of, if not *the* dopest hip-hop album of all time. This album was cool

[@DirtCheapFU]

4:28 with the Adrock sample of 'Drop', Mike D rides past on a low rider bike.

[@smittybenzo4693]

Video directed by Spike Jonze who has directed a few big films like H.E.R. and Being John Malkovich. He not only shot them moving backwards. They had to learn their lyrics backwards so their mouths would match. So they're reading this made up language off big cards that a whole crew of assistants had to come up with for them to learn weeks before shooting this video.

[@RuthwikRao]

Yesss! But I don't think the movie is abbreviated like H.E.R. haha, that's the R&B singer. The movie is just Her. 😆 One of my all time favorites tbh, dude is a genius. Hate that he hasn't made a new one since (outside the Jackass ones).

[@akaLids77]

lol at 4:28 and 4:33 one on the bike and one right in front of the camera 🤣🤣 the beasties

[@devmiles]

The best Hip Hop video ever! There is a short documentary on how it was made. They even hired a linguist to let the group learn their lyrics backwards for the video, crazy!

[@jfulton2852]

Love your conscious thoughts cuh. This was and still is one of the greatest videos and songs ever

[@edwardthayer9386]

The white dudes are The Beastie Boys! That's them saying DROPPP!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tywayne3]

And the 'Drop' sample is from Beastie Boys...License to Ill is also another album review. Honestly probably one of the first album classics.

[@Phillyjoe2]

Amazing reaction to such a classic beat from the Pharcyde! Love this tune. Much love from Coventry, UK

[@axgcat]

back in the 90s & early 00s many rappers were speaking up on the industry. Krs One (Step into a World was his middle finger to Jive records), Ultra (the industry is wack), GZA (Labels), Dead Prez (Hip Hop) RA the Rugged Man (Every Record Label Sucks Dxck)... the problem was/is only "Real" Hip Hop heads new about this. those listening to corporate hip hop had no clue.

[@808v1]

this was my intro to rap/hip-hop, this time...ATCQ, PE, BDP and so many more...glad I was around when it started, that time is long ago now - but I remember it fondly.

[@JelaniWood]

I think you did "Passing Me By" before. Shout out to Tyler, DOOM, Dre, and 9th Wonder on the Producer tip too. You should do whole album reactions for The Pharcyde's first two albums. I saw someone below mention Digital Underground: Sex Packets for review too and I agree. It's a Top 10 greatest Rap album to me personally. RIP DILLA

[@game9848]

J Dilla is one of a kind. It's AMAZING how J.D. was able to mix sounds from a turn table, jazz instruments, and mix them when Organ/Harpsichord.

[@soundsandwords]

i think this is the greatest hip-hop music video of all time

[@AnAngelAscending]

One of my favorite videos ever.

[@Browninharlem]

You missed the Beatie Boys riding the bike and another one walk by and say "Drop"!

[@dr_kongo]

One of the best tracks from The Pharcyde

[@dr_kongo]

And you're right about Dilla being the GOAT 😎 You can find sample breakdown of this beat on Tracklib YT channel

[@mikigalshou7806]

The sample Drop is taken from the a Beastie Boys track, has anyone noticed one of the beastie boys in the video riding a bike.

[@simonp4754]

It was a song from DJ Magic Mike called Drop. The Drop was a dance the girls used to do, especially on dudes. Ir was the predecessor to twerking today. I think He sampled it from the Beastie Boys.

If I'm correct Nas song where the story starts at the end and end in the beginning of the story came out after. The sample for the "um drop" came from Beastie Boys song "The new style".

This video was before the movie Inception! The white Brothers are the Beastie Boys

[@Knick_Fury]

So here’s the real sauce on this song and video…clearly the group was moving in reverse…BUT…the organ sample in Dilla’s beat was ALSO playing in reverse…which probably is what inspired the idea for the video. 🫡🫡🫡

[@jason-basin]

Not only are they walking backwards the whole time, they practiced RAPPING backwards! Check the "making of"

Beastie Boy cameos and sample over a Dilla beat with a great concept. This video is undefeated.

[@ICTS22]

This is probably the greatest rap video of all time. I saw these guys live on their tour of second album tour, and the guy who sang the second verse got arrested for a gun or drug charge in Japan and not perform. Not that it is a great thing but just adding my personal experience with this track,

I was late too, I learned of J. Dilla from De La's "Stakes Is High" album because I wasn't really into who produced music then, like I am now.

Me too, my friends. I heard the name before but didn't really know until I heard this Mister Cee tribute mix that I don't believe is on KZbin anymore. These 2 Instrumental mixes (vol 1/2) routinely pop up and they are a vibe.

If your only doing a song you have to do “ she said”preferably the original album version it’s one of my all time favorite hip hop tracks and fat lips Verse is one of my all time favs by him a lot of folks prefer the j dilla remix which is a vibe but I loved the original since coping lab cabin California cd (which is where running and drop are both from as well) are the first day it dropped. Or you could do both and choose your favorite that being said this album as well as their debut album Bizzare Ride 2 the Pharcyde are both classics if you get a chance do the whole albums and the dopest thing about them is that both albums are classics in completely different ways with different vibes totally original and unique they were. Two more fun facts then I’ll quit bugging ya lol one is these talented cats got started before rapping as backup dancers on in living color the tv show and secondly Fatlip also has pretty strong solo album that could be checked out if you enjoy these two lps or worse case scenario definitely check for the writers block and what’s up fatlip off those albums. Basically these brothers are Ill and I really think you’d enjoy the creativity of the full length lps when you get a chance just judging how you’ve enjoyed the singles so far
