The Pharcyde - Ya Mama (Official Music Video)

[@DarknessViper99]

Pharcyde's style has always been so unique, real gem of hip-hop they are.

[@Yovry]

The Onyx Viper true. They have that style of early 80's rap with the types of lyrics of 90's rap. Truly a great rap group

[@187killabitch]

such a underrated group too

[@entertainingsportshighligh7525]

they were a product of TRIBE CALLED QUEST, LORDS OF THE UNDERGROUND, & LEADERS OF THE NEW SCHOOL combined

[@mjbset93]

If only Fat Lip could have held it together. I think they even underrate themselves otherwise they probably could stayed together for the sake of the art they produced together.

[@rico4101]

I always thought The Pharcyde was the west coast counterpart to A Tribe Called Quest. Both groups just having fun and having a complete unique style in the golden age of Hip-Hop.

[@sunshinesunflowerz1647]

[@reaganomicz]

In 92' when the Pharcyde came out, I knew they were something special. No one dressed like them, rapped like them or had their style. I was proud that they came the West Coast, Los Angeles to be exact where I was born and raised.

They said she got two peg legs with real feet

[@MoreEffinCowbell]

@@expertguy101 What they actually say is "wooden legs with real feet", but in the next verse they do say "peg leg with a kick stand" (a few times, actually).

[@jsun7972]

When this song came out, I loved the group but wasn't too into this single cause i guess i felt it was too childish but now that i'm older, i see the genius of this track. This album was a classic from top to bottom. If you don't think so then... ya mama a sell out lol

[@tylers6611]

Its shocking to see that hip hop once had this much originality and lyricism in one song. These guys may have liked to play around, but whats never lost is that they can all rap. The album will forever be a classic, but unfortunately most kids will never appreciate this masterpiece.

[@revolutionday1]

As a young white kid growing up in the rougher, predominantly black area of Indianapolis in the 1980's, I was exposed to this culture and what they called "jonin' " on one another (typically "yo' mamma" snaps), often times as a small gathering. At first, I was kinda' shocked that they would say things like this to me or to one another, but I began to appreciate the thought and creativity that went into some of their snaps, and became quite adept at such insults myself eventually. These little sessions would become the highlight of my day, and I still cherish the memories from them.

[@jameserath4192]

I'm from NAP 317 as well I remember seeing them with Cypress Hill and 3:11 but farside stole the show

[@foreverme3078]

Ummm ok. But to be really real, they were bullying. I know because I was there and from a big city, inner city. You are making it sound like it was lah dee da and all innocent. It wasn't innocent at all. There was nothing funny about it. They were doing this as jokes. They were straight up bullying people with "yo mama" jokes.

[@aidanfox8219]

Man I bet Dre, Snoop, Cube, and many other west coast artists from L.A. was probably at home at the time watching this laughing they asse$ off while trying to be all tough. But The Pharcyde was on a whole other level having fun showing off their sense of humor in the rap game.

[@dner75-xh9le]

Hip-Hop was at a crossroads in 1992. They could have gone down the Pharcyde path; instead, they went down the Snoop Dogg path. Class has been long-since removed from that art form, but at least we have recordings like this for posterity.

[@777ikeyFM]

People bought into that thug shit because it was fresh and coming out of both coasts. Funny, it used to be all about respecting the roots of hip hop, Kids today "stan" an artist for a month then onto the next, they don't care about history.

The artform maintains great hip hop artists who create fun, thoughtful, conscious music. Just because it's not mainstream doesnt mean it doesn't exist
