In March 1993, The Pharcyde dropped their second single, \u2018Passin\u2019 Me By,\u2019 through Delicious Vinyl Records. This track was the second single from their 1992 debut album, \u2018Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde. <\/p>\n
The beat, produced by J-Swift, is a masterpiece of sampling. He used \u2018Summer in the City\u2019 by Quincy Jones, \u2018125th Street Congress\u2019 by Weather Report and \u2018Are You Experienced?\u2019 by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, among others. <\/p>\n
The four emcees of The Pharcyde - Bootie Brown, Slimkid3, Imani and Fatlip - spit about their school days and the crushes that broke their hearts time and again. In the black-and-white music video, we see the crew in the back seat of a car or rapping behind a fence, all turned upside down. <\/p>\n
\u2018Passin\u2019 Me By\u2019 became a hit, reaching the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart the week of July 10, 1993. Pitchfork Media placed the track at No. 41 in their \u2018Top 200 Tracks of the 90s. <\/p>\n
This release is so salty it's unbelievable how dope! It remains one of the most iconic tracks of the \u201990s and a must-listen for any hip-hop fan. <\/p>\n
So, if you haven't checked out \u2018Passin\u2019 Me By\u2019 yet, it's time to feel those salty vibes and immerse yourself in this timeless classic.<\/p>\n
