REVIEW | PHARCYDE — THE LEGENDARY TITANS OF RAP LIVE IN LONDON

A night where a legendary Titan of raps golden age from the east and west coasts col­lided in west Lon­don at the his­tor­ic O2 Shep­herds Bush Empire ven­ue was packed wall to wall to wall with Hip Hop Heads young and old this was a per­fect advert­ise­ment for how time­less Hip Hop music tran­scends generations.

Fur­ther­more when Slimkid3, Imani and Fat­lip took the stage along with DJ Trebbis. The explo­sion of energy was everything thing we needed from the seasoned vet­er­ans. It’s almost like the last 30years nev­er happened.

It was so fas­cin­at­ing to see how a very small per­cent­age of Hip Hop artists and groups from the early 90’s are as pop­u­lar as ever and actu­ally tour­ing more reg­u­larly than their mod­ern day contemporaries.

See­ing the Phar­cyde on stage feels like a big deal, these are the legendary titans of Hip Hop and for 60minutes they let you know why.

Through­out the show we heard all the clas­sic cuts such as “Passin me by” “Drop” Otha Fish” “Ya Mama” before round­ing off a stun­ning J Dilla trib­ute and send ing the fans home happy with a time­less rendi­tion of “Run­nin’”

This was anoth­er superb addi­tion to the Pharcyde’s cata­logue of bril­liant highly ener­get­ic Lon­don shows!!
