i can only imagine people get annoyed by sen dog on chorus otherwise should sweep the poll

it's like ... iconic or something? the way doggy style is? you don't hear cypress hill tracks in clubs but i don't know anybody in high school who listened to black sunday less than doggystyle or 36 chambers (certainly not more than those, but how could you be in high school in 93 and not have a black sunday tape in your car?)

how could you be in high school and own a car?!

Cypress Hill were definitely HUGE at the time in a way that is not really remembered now

sen dog is the best anyone whos mad at him is insane in the membrane

welcome to the 1% sic

oh wait there was one girl in my year whose daddy bought her a car for her 18th

fwiw me n my friends vibed to the first cypress hill in cars but not really black sunday

fwiw sic in the usa its p common for hs students to have cars

what the fuck I'm rollin
in a truck that's stolen
guess what I'm holdin
ammo to bust my loooooaaaaaaad

yeah i don't know where you are sic but i imagine at least 1/4 of students older than 16 have cars in the US if not 1/3 or 1/2

the genius of cypress hill is glimpsed in the fact that their lyrics don't scan at all on paper as rhythmic but b real makes it sounds like the most obvious thing when he delivers it

once i realized that all 3 of Black Sunday's singles had choruses that were essential 'B-Real says title phrase, Sen Dog repeats it' the bloom kinda came off the rose. "I Ain't Goin' Out Like That" is still a joint, though.

high school wasn't that long ago for me - and i prob lived in a pretty representative lower-middle/middle class suburb growing up - at least half of us had cars. USED cars, but cars

xp

yeah yeah all rap songs sound the same, i know

dj muggs production is incredible, iirc the rza was pretty geeked on it

yeah i think the thing is your parents buy cars, and then when you're sixteen they buy themselves a newer car and give you the beat-up one

thx planet earth, usa needs more oil

i mean every track on black sunday has sen dog repeating b-real at least once or twice not counting the choruses, but for whatever reason i can hang with it

car r cool for listening to raps in

rap is invented for listening to in cars! the cars that go boom!

he brings the absurdity w/o which they sunk into a gloomy pit of stoner boringness on later albums (though he was still there, so not sure where the absurdity went)

he = sen dog on black sunday, he's hilarious

I can make you famous like Amos
Same as the last punk, when I stuck the gatt up his anus
Hear me growl: Grrra! Howl!
I got the night vision just like the wise old owl

GRAA! HOWL!!

oh don't get me wrong i love sen dog

best verse on black sunday imo

in 93/94 i was still years away from having a car and i sat home all summer watching cypress hill videos on THE BOX

fwiw me n my friends vibed to the first cypress hill in cars but not really black sunday

what's funny is that black sunday is in some ways a track-by-track remake of the first one but just more amped up and, uh, booming or something

the box was the shit!

only place to see wu tang videos

ive havent heard it in years but at the time i felt like they just got too goofy re black sunday

feel like we get into a THE BOX tangent at least once a year but hell yeah, the box was the shit

no jaymc but i used to memorize all the video numbers

videos you used to see on THE BOX all the time

the box was the first place i heard vanilla ice's first cypress hill bite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i30kpGeIeM

the box was suuuuper important to my understanding of teh cultcha

the early 90s were an era of such blatant trend hopping

what era of rap since hasn't been, though?

i dunno, i feel like it was so obvious when a rapper made a blatant stylistic departure over the course of like a single year back then

now the production style might shift but the rapper stays more or less consistent

yeah, true, not as much image makeovers/rapping style. back then it was like, rap like das efx this year, rap like nas the next.

like gucci over mike will vs. gucci over zaytoven is nothing like big daddy kane dropping "groove with it"

vs. aint no half steppin or whatever

uh ... please to break that sentence down for the n00bs

oh you're talking about shifts in production style, not image makeovers

i think

i'm saying ppl don't really do image makeovers now

they don't really change how they rap, either.

the big daddy kane example might be a bad one i was a lil young, I just remember ppl talking about how pronounced his falloff was

to be fair, i was like 4-5 yrs old during that era
