Humboldt Beginnings

Humboldt Beginnings is the fourth studio album by the Pharcyde, released in 2004.

The group was down to two original members for the recording of Humboldt Beginnings: Bootie Brown and Imani. Two additional rappers, Spaceboyboogie X and "Greg" Smooche, appear on several tracks.

A music video was released for the track "Knew U".

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the frequent weed songs are interspersed with club thumpers ('The Uh-Huh'), smooth '80s-influenced lovers tracks ('Knew U,' 'Right B4'), and one of the most hilariously overblown gangsta tracks (perhaps humorous?) ever performed ('Bongloads II')." The Cleveland Scene wrote that "the ganjacentric album ... at least acknowledges the stoned-soul picnic that inspired the band's greatest moments." Phoenix New Times wrote that "tight, innovative production and clean, crisp flows contribute to a distinctly original nuance that helps separate the disc further from the group's previous efforts."
