The Pharcyde - Drop

"Drop" is a single by alternative hip hop group The Pharcyde, released in 1995 as the second single for the group's second album, Labcabincalifornia. The single contains a vocal sample of the Beastie Boys song "The New Style", using the titular "mmm..... drop" line delivered during a drop to create its hook.

The Pharcyde - Drop

Russel Hobbs of The Gorillaz talked with HipHopDX recently about the group's new single "New Gold" featuring Bootie Brown of The Pharcyde and Tame Impala. The single dropped Wednesday (8/31) and is from their full-length album Cracker Island which is scheduled for release next February. The song "Cracker Island" dropped earlier this summer and features Thundercat.

In 1994, the Beastie Boys headlined the popular Lollapalooza tour. As headliners they were encouraged to pick other groups and acts which they felt would enhance the tour. Thus, A Tribe Called Quest, Luscious Jackson, and the Pharcyde would all join the Beastie Boys that summer on what seemed like an endless tour. The following year the Pharcyde would release their sophomore follow-up, Labcabincalifornia (1995) which provided us with the hit single "Drop." Beastie Boys fans took immediate notice when Adrock and Mike D showed up in cameo roles during the music video for "Drop." In case you are not familiar with the song, Adam Horovitz's signature nasal sounding lyric "drop" from "The New Style" is featured as the main sample throughout the piece. When asked in Ego Trip Magazine how Adrock felt about being the most sampled of the three Beastie Boys, he responded with "It's not that many samples if you think about it.. It's like two samples off that first record (Licensed to Ill). It's not like they're sampling the Check Your Head album." 041b061a72
