Led by the deep-toned Sen Dog and the deliciously adenoidal whine of B-Real and backed by DJ Muggs's beats--as thick as the smoke they inhaled--Cypress Hill spun dope-fueled tales of revenge, revolution, recreational drug use, gangbanging, and cultural pride. Like R. Crumb's Mr. Natural, but with a hardened voice and a B-boy attitude, Cypress Hill slow-walked their funk-flavored way through a minefield of anthems (the still sizzling "How I Could Just Kill a Man") and comic manifestos ("Stoned Is the Way of the Walk"). Heavy on the bass line and punctuated by flashes of wit and rage, Cypress Hill's joint was definitely one to draw deep on. --Amy Linden

Customer Reviews

Kings of the Hill.
Cypress Hill was a major breath of fresh air when they came out. They were rapping from a latinos perspective, they dropped beats that were more than dope, and wrote lyrics about everything including weed. You can't deny that as soon as you hear B-real, you know just who it is. I'd hesitate to call this the best album of theirs, but I like it just as much as "Black Sunday", "Temple Of Boom", and "Skull And Bones". Top tracks for me are "Pigs", "Hand On The Pump", "Stoned Is The Way Of The Walk", and "Born To Get Busy". It's all good though. It's a fact that in the summer of 1992, if I wasn't playing House Of Pain or the Beastie Boys, i was listening to Cypress Hill. Of course, I could pretty much say that now as well.

This (along with "Black Sunday") is their finest work.....
Cypress Hill's Debut Album (along with second album "Black Sunday") is their best album effort......After Virtually coming from nowhere to take a firm stranglehold on the then floundering Hip-Hop scene, which was lacking innovation, sleazy Lo-fi fat Beats with a distinctive sound all of their own (Courtesy of D.j Muggs) , coupled with rapper "B-Real's" latino-voiced pro-marijuana rhetoric (which was to prominently feature in all their albums)....tracks such as "How I Could Just Kill a Man", "Hand on the Pump" & "The Phuncky Feel One" went on to became Club Classic's thanks to Cypress Hill ability to back up "B-Reals" Pot-smoking fantasies with Thumping Funky Beats (that have been nicked for various Latin / Jazz & Soul artists, and given reworked to work within a Hip-Hop Blueprint, endlessly Drug-influenced but with a playful Rambunctious Party feel, that defined Cypress Hill throughout the 90's. And although people will debate which of the Cypress Studio albums is/was their best work...the majority of people will usually cite this & "Black Sunday" as a careers best.

a classic!
if you know anything about treur hip hop,then you know that this cd is one of the best.when cypress hill came out in 91,they brought a very different sound to the hip hop arena and soon became one of the best without getting that much air play.on there first album they create memorable songs like "hand on the pump" and "how could i just kill a man".they also throw in some funky kind of beats that work.dj muggs is a mastewr at creating beats and he shows it in this first album of the hill.must have!
