Pharcyde, The - Emerald Butterfly Just Dont Matter

Review by Gürol BARIN

Emerald Butterfly Just Don't Matter is the fourth studio album by the American hip-hop group, The Pharcyde. The album was released on October 7, 2004, and received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike.

The album is a departure from the group's previous work, with a more experimental and psychedelic sound. The Pharcyde explores new musical territories, incorporating elements of jazz, funk, and rock into their hip-hop beats. The result is a unique and refreshing sound that sets the album apart from their earlier work.

The lyrics on the album are introspective and personal, with the group delving into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The Pharcyde's signature humor and wit are still present, but are tempered by a more serious and reflective tone.

Summary by Gürol BARIN

While some critics praised the group's willingness to take risks and experiment with their sound, others felt that the album lacked the cohesion and consistency of their earlier work. Despite this, Emerald Butterfly Just Don't Matter remains a notable entry in The Pharcyde's discography and is worth a listen for fans of experimental hip-hop.
