Cypress Hill Black Sunday Apperciation thread

[DaHNIC82]

The first time I heard of Cypress Hill was Shoot em Up off the Juice Soundtrack, I really thought these cats were white(judging by B-Real's voice) but then I seen Insane to the Membrane on a episode of Beavis and Butthead and thought holy shyt! these cats are raw with it! I will say that this it provides a great balance of weed anthems and street lingo. DJ Mugg's production at the time was more funk based and dirtier(later on he would adapt into a darker sound channeling RZA's style a little)

I'm surprised the Hill don't get as much acknowledgements as many groups that came out in the 90s. Their first 4 albums were bangers!

First 2 Cypress albums are undeniable classics.

Temples of Boom was dope too. I believe they tried to flex more of that gangsta shyt on there because that was picking up steam at the time(Hint Throw Ya Set in the Air and Killafornia). Illusions was possibly one of the best hip hop songs from the 90s

Dj Muggs started a trend with his beats many ran with his style !!!

First rap tape... must've been 8 years old.





I didnt even understand what the hell was goin on.

The first 3 albums kind of got forgotten. Cypress are remembered more for the Rap Superstar Rap/Rock thing they started doing. That's the ass backwards way of seeing them but I think that's how it is these days.

Always loved this album, used to thrash Cypress Hill in my early-mid teens. Was the first gig I went to as well. Thank you for helping me fall in love with hip hop
