CYPRESS HILL picture
Cypress Hill is a west coast hip hop band from South Gate, California. Formed in 1988, the band was among the first hip hop groups to have crossover appeal with metal fans and today are most known for their hit Insane in the Brain. The band was originally known as DVX, but changed the name after Mellow Man Ace left in '88. After that, the lineup consisted of B-Real, Sen Dog, and DJ Muggs. The addition of percussionist Eric Bobo came in 1993, and DJ Muggs would leave the band in 2004 only to return a decade later.

Cypress Hill are easily signified by DJ Muggs' dark and ominous production, and B-Real and Sen Dog's unique rapping style. The band has sampled metal songs, such as Black Sabbath's The Wizard (Sampled in I Ain't Goin' Out Like That) and Flower Travellin' Band's Satori (Sampled in Band of Gypsies).

While Cypress Hill's debut lacks the ominous atmospheres that they would become known for, the band still already had a unique sound of their own. It's funky, not unlike a lot of hip hop at the time, but DJ Muggs is a master sampler which creates a really busy sound. B-Real and Sen Dog both have really unique voices, that I haven't quite heard elsewhere. B-Real's nasally and cocky delivery is filled to the brim with personality, and he can make gangsta lyricism fun as all hell. Sen Dog contrasts with an incredibly low and strained style, and the two play off of one another really well.

How I Could Just Kill a Man is a classic for a reason, but that's just the beginning of how many bops are on here. Light Another, The Phuncky Feel One, and The Funky Cypress Hill Shit are so damn funky that they immediately get your body movin'. Along with the aforementioned How I Could, Hand on the Pump and Hole in the Head are other songs that sound like a more upbeat version of followup Black Sunday.

While not quite the perfection of Black Sunday, Cypress Hill's s/t is a very close second and an essential hip hop classic.

Remember that this site's strength is that it's more inclusive and covers a wider swath of metal than more limited sites. Doesn't matter to me if these kinds of bands are here. One metal album is enough for me. This is supposed to be a comprehensive database and all

You also have to think about historical context as well, Cypress Hill was maybe the first hip hop group to have crossover appeal with metal fans back in the 90's. (Not that that would mean anything if they didn't have any metal material, but it adds to the importance of them going metal themselves for a brief time and their effect on the hip hop influenced sides of metal)

That's completely illogical. If we did that we'd also have to delete every band who only released one album just in case they never released anything else metal, if at all. King Gizzard has an undeniable bona fide thrash metal album. Give me one good reason why they should be excluded from the archives.

I dunno, man. I think some artists should be removed (even King Gizzard, only one metal album shouldn't be enough to get a profile on MMA).
adg211288 wrote:

It's because they only just miss having an album edible for Rap Metal. We're actually in the process of cracking down hard on what gets onto MMA as just Metal Related and/or Non-Metal (including re-looking at what already got on here), and this one passes even though they're primarily a hip-hop group.

...Why do Cypress Hill is here, guys? Aren't we goingo too far with this Metal Related thing?
