Well KGR was up by three, then they were tied at seven and now Pharcyde is up by three. (And I didn't expect to Wreckx-N-Effect to get a vote before Apache.)

I know what you're sayin' (Gangsta Bitch, Passin' Me By and Rumpshaker being the hits) but The Pharcyde actually put out more singles promoting Bizarre Ride than G Rap did for Live and Let Die, not that that really means anything, figured I'd point it out though.Bigg Boss Luciano wrote:The one with more than one good song on it: Giancana.
I'm guessing this is just referring to the match up in general.Echo Leader wrote:Oh shit!
The results have been entertaining so far. Didn't think it'd remain this close after the early lead by Kool G but it's been back and forth ever since with Pharcyde breaking the last couple ties.

i always said out of thoselegendary late 80s mcs G Rap always was my least favorite and while his early albums have classic songs they also have some tracks that because of production have aged very badly like so many other late 80ies albums.
live and let die is by far his best and congruently produced album and still enjoyable front to back to this day.
i still went with the pharcyde becasue thanks to its production and everyday carefree attitude is the record ive gone back to more in my life.
i have never heard the wrexxx and effect album and the apache joint although having some big names on production isn't even all that sonically - without even thinking abbout his lackluster raps

It does have some Teddy Riley and Ty Fyffe production (plus early Pharrell ghostwriting) for what that's worth.

This match up kinda reminds me of the '93 Souls vs. KRS match up. Early / mid nineties, opposite coasts, close back and forth voting results.
And that orange-y yellow color for the text must've been in right then I guess.

It's hard to believe that the Apache album came out in the same year as the Pharcyde LP - it sounds so much more dated to me.
I voted Pharcyde, as when it dropped it was in constant rotation for almost a year - that album along with Jungle Brothers' 'J Beez...' were mainstays on my boombox, back to back for a good 12 months.
That said, these days I have little desire to listen to any Pharcyde, and would pick G Rap if they dropped today.

It did. As did Apache's album, Kool G & Polo's Live and Let Die and Wreckx-N-Effect's sophomore. All the albums listed in the poll dropped on the same day, that's the concept for the series. The original release date is listed below the picture of the album covers in the first post.Jaz wrote:I thought Bizarre Ride originally came out in late '92?
TBS the reason I got confused is I remembered that Apache's album was released in 93, I remember picking it up back then but according to Discogs it was released in 92 in Italy and Germany...I never knew that.TheBigSleep wrote:It did.

Yeah I've seen that, not sure the exact history but it was recorded in '91 / '92 and yet a few usually reputable sites even list that it dropped in '91 which I didn't think there was any record of whatsoever. November of '92 is the earliest and most precise date I've found (so far). It's definitely a non-factor in this poll regardless.

.....I don't know anyone that bought that Apache album....
Also, I enjoyed the 2nd album from Wreckx-N-Effect, it flopped hard and only one song got any radio play, but it had some good songs and A-Plus stepped his flow up considerably. Worth a download if your bored.
