Cypress Hill: search and destroy

I was listening to Stankonia recently and had forgotten about that track with B-Real on it. "Dre, pass me the glass of wine/So I can pour it over my homies' graves then mine" Not the greatest song anyway but his verse kinda derails the whole thing like WTF is this guy doing on an OutKast album? How did that even come about?

I like this one:

trip hop? wtf. the first album is classic. 2nd still had some good songs on it too. kinda lost interest after that. but muggs is still a great producer.

First album still sounds great to me. Haven't heard the others.

dj muggs & planet asia made an album last year which I enjoyed

yah it was good

im kinda looking forward to the new b-real album thats supposed to come out in feb. even tho the single is kinda whatever (and samples toms diner ...?)

er, interpolates

First album is classic

does the 2nd album get a bad rep (for being the one that crossed them over to college kids and rock fans?) im thinking it might actually be pretty good. i need to find my copy.

first record is top shelf but black sunday sounds pretty damn good to me today

Yeah, I never understood why Black Sunday is considered not-so-good? Maybe the beats are are a bit samey, but they found a killer formula with that record.

And everyone who loves Muggs' beats should listen to Temples of Boom, that's one of the best-sounding rap albums of the 90s. The RZA guest production is actually kinda weak compared to some of the Muggs beats there.

That Muggs and GZA record is good too. Grandmasters.

MUGGS VS KUTMASTER KURT VS ALCHEMIST

Muggs is one of the best producers in rap. The first disc of Skull and Bones has pretty goddamn good production.

I listened to the first two back-to-back last night, there's not much to choose between them really but I prefer the overall sound of Black Sunday. That and Ill Communication were the two rap albums the rock crowd at my school liked back in about 1994.

Cannot believe these guys are still cranking out records honestly. The new single is getting crazy amounts of airplay on Q101 right now.

I remember Black Sunday and Doggystyle being the two rap albums that were really played a lot at my school around that time, and Cypress Hill especially was one of the main things that got me into rap (besides Warren G and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony). "Sabotage" was known because of the video, but I don't think Beastie Boys were that popular in here back then, at least not among North Helsinki working class kids. Can't remember anyone actually owning Ill Communication.

(x-post)

their first album is straight up CLASSIC and is on par with "The Chronic" even though it's got an old school East Coast sound. In fact, it has some of the most interesting and catchy beats I've heard on any rap album. I especially like the beats on "Real Estate" and "Psychobetabuckdown."

I agree their first album is a classic, but I prefer "Black Sunday", as it pushes their sound even further into the pleasure zone. It's a perfect stoner album

Hits from the Bong is so fucking good

whenever i hear son of a preacher man I'm always disappointed

Both otm

Perhaps inevitably...
