"I found this collection of Pharcyde music videos and tid-bit interviews to be entertaining and infuriating. First and fore most, I must say that the quartetes music videos are indeed bizzare rides, full of witty lyrical energy and interesting conceptual premise. Many compilations (as this one) are fast ways for artists to cash-in on previous successes, but what seperates Cydeways from others is that it attemts to delve into what caused The Pharcyde to break up. Initially, the remaining trio (Tre-who has since left the group, Imani, boody brown) show little audacity towards fatlip for leaving but then they paint him as a red faced clown in one of the videos. Fatlip continues to embarrass himslef with his solo work "worst case scenario" which makes me suspect that he never wrote any of the lyrics on previous Pharcyde recordings. With all that said, I am still a fan of the Pharcyde and this DVD is a must have for any one who can say the same."
