Performer: Cypress Hill
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: This two-for-one compilation captures the critically acclaimed first two records by the highly influential, famously pot-touting Los Angeles rap trio, Cypress Hill. CYPRESS HILL introduced the crew's ultra-violent, highly literate rhymes layered over spare, trippy, Latin-jazzy samples, highlighted by the classic single "How I Could Just Kill a Man." Follow-up BLACK SUNDAY features the band's top-20 pop hit and signature song, "Insane in the Brain."
Cross hardcore rap, alternative rock, and a defiantly pro-marijuana agenda, and you get groundbreaking hip-hoppers Cypress Hill. The band's genre-bending approach, as well as its English-Spanish bilingualism and rapper B-Real's distinctive nasal style, has earned them a wide and varied following. They debuted in 1991, but hit the big time two years later with the crossover hit "Insane in the Brain." Along the way, they've managed to work with the likes of Pearl Jam and Sonic Youth without ever losing their hip-hop credibility.
