Performer: Cypress Hill
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: In the early 1990s, as rap went pop and many acts began to sound achingly familiar, L.A. trio Cypress Hill sounded like no other band out there. Over swirlingly hazy, Eric-B.-meets-the-circus beats, B-Real and Sen Dog told stark stories of urban life, but always with just a tinge of the mischievous. This iPod-ready disc features a thorough selection of the act's greatest hits, including their two classics, "How I Could Just Kill a Man" and "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.
