Labcabincalifornia is the second album by The Pharcyde, released in 1995, three years after their classic debut Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde. The album's production was handled by The Pharcyde themselves and J Dilla a.k.a. Jay Dee.
The first single was "Drop". The video for "Drop" was directed by Spike Jonze, and used footage of the group performing the song, replayed backwards, giving it a surreal quality. The backwards theme of the video was also a reference to the song itself, which featured a backwards sample. "Drop" was a hit, as was the follow up single "Runnin'".
Overall, this album was a more mellow and instropective affair than their debut, and featured more sombre themes such as dealing with fame and success, drug abuse, and broken down relationships.
In 2004, Mýa sampled "Runnin'" for her song "Fallen".
