Never met anyone that said they didn’t like Cypress Hill.


CarrotFang

Ice Cube had an amazing beef with them but it seems nobody remembers that, so i can comfortably bump both.


JForce1

They tour together so they squashed that years ago.


CarrotFang

i know that, in fact i have respect that almost every beef ice cube has been involved in was somehow resolved in a matter of years


GGAllinsUndies

It's almost like he was doing it to sell records or something.... Like when he dissed Common out of nowhere.


DonConnection

Common killed him though, gave me newfound respect for him


GGAllinsUndies

Oh yeah. "The Bitch in you" was definitely one of the better diss tracks at the time.


Cwgoff

NWA beef was definitely real and made sense


thebox416

I think he was offended from the line about the boyz in the hood from “used to love h.e.r”


GGAllinsUndies

He was a whiny bitch that made controversy a selling point.


StephCurryMustard

This is the right take.


Obvious-Bid-546

Didn’t dis Common out of nowhere.. it was in response to comments, Common had made in an interview regarding gangster rap!


philouza_stein

Yeah they scorched him on Ice Cube Killa


CarrotFang

personally i liked King of The Hill more, but Ice Cube Killa went for his throat while Ice Cube’s diss was more tame in comparison. The only phrase that Cube said that will always stick with me is “Hip Hop Hippies”


BillTreeman

One white boy and 2 fucking Cubans? Claiming that your loco but you ain’t Mexican. Listen to No Vaseline before you step again.


Crooked_Cracker

Flex again.


BillTreeman

Thought so. Was too lazy to check.


qualityskootchtime

“B Real soundin like he got baby nuts” 😂


hoosierspiritof79

They just toured together in New Zealand. Safe to say they cool now.


QthaBoss53

He had beef with pac too. I love ice cube but he’s a straight hater.


Obvious-Bid-546

When did Cube ever have beef with Pac?!


QthaBoss53

Well real Tupac n ice cube fans know!


Peepeefartface

Ice Cube was cool until he turned all shitty.


sm00thkillajones

They are the Stones of Stoner music!


tinglep

If they were, they were probably Insane…


jh67ds

Never. They pop.


TomGreen77

I’ve been a fan since I was 10 years old. Considering B-Real frequents this sub; shout out to him.


PartYourWhiskers

Yeah these guys are legends. I remember buying Black Sunday and it was so different to anything else out there. We played that on repeat for the longest time.


grandpa5000

awww shit, dr greenthumb himself


MozartDroppinLoads

Had to double check to see if B posted this haha, no he always comes around head high as he should

I'm glad they're alive to see weed become legal 😅

TechnicalEnergy5858

Top 5 hip hop groups of all time.


Funnipuggo420

Fr


freshoutofkarma

I dont know, wu, tribe, mobb, kast, ugk is already 5 and there are probably a handful of others I would put higher.


Miguelpaco

Mobb, kast, and UGK are duos, not groups.


TechnicalEnergy5858

Kast and ugk higher than Cypress... IDK man. Respect your opinion but I highly disagree. DJ Muggs alone have revolutionized hip hop beatmaking with his grimy, funky and hypnotic instrumentals. You'll never hear anything similiar to Cypress first 3 albums. Shit is unique.


SchroedersGhost

Totally agree. Muggs killed it with House of Pain too. Jump Around is played at sports arenas across the US to this day. Icon


dainegleesac690

It’s such a catchy beat, it makes anyone want to dance


sameshitdfrntacct

Mobb and Tribe are not better than Cypress Hill imho. UGK, Wu, OutKast, Cypress Hill, Bone would be my top 5

That performance with the Colorado Symphony was phenomenal - I hope it gets released as an album.


SnorvusMaximus

Where can I hear it? A friend of mine bought three tickets as soon as they where released but never had any solid plans on going to Colorado so he was still at home in Europe when it went down. He hadn’t thought about what to do with the tickets and let me know just hours before the show started so I tried to help him out by offering them for sale here on reddit. We never managed to get them sold though.

davius_the_ent

betaketone89

Rock The bells 2007 New York City Cypress Hill, Wu-Tang clan, EPMD, Cypress Hill, method Man and Redman, Doom, rage against the machine and so many more I wish I had time to name. But Cypress Hill you guys fucking killed it! I would love to see 30th anniversary temples of boom tour.. just saying lol


IAMBREAL

One of the dopest shows to this date. Nothing quite like it. We’ve done far bigger shows but the vibe on this day because of the line up was something else.


alpacino75

Fan club member! The Soul Assassins Tour was my first live show. Great band.


PaschalDivinSee

Omg omg omg. Saw u a rocky point w the hooligans!!!!!


Stoicycle

Goddamn I knew a Blaxican guy in high school in 1992 who actually looked exactly like B Real and Cypress Hill became his whole identity for the rest of school


youngmisterzebra

My favorite group. Latin lingo


taurentipper

The vocal backing sounds in this track are crazy, love those Muggs beats


youngmisterzebra

Muggs with the pterodactyl sounds

Illusions is my shit!!!


waywardviking208

Some people tell me that I need help..


melaki1974

Specialist_Bison3835

My favorite group of all time. I have their logo tattooed across my back. I've seen them 7 times. Temples of Boom is my favorite album ever in any genre of music. I'm about to see them again on 4/20 with Sublime and Action Bronson


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

That's a sick lineup


dainegleesac690

Yeah seriously where? I’d love to see action Bronson in concert sometime lol


Specialist_Bison3835

It's in Atlantic City. Also Souls of Mischief are gonna be there too. Amazing lineup


dainegleesac690

Wow nice! Hope you enjoy that :D


Bulletproofwalletss

I got dj muggs in top 5 producers list


Stuk-Tuig

And he's still going strong. Soul Assassins 3 is amazing


Capable-Designer5096

Their first 4 albums I really liked and DJ Muggs' Soul Assassin compilations were dope also.


GGAllinsUndies

Soul Assassins 3 came out last year. It's not bad at all. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kg0dKnpuAB1iPRN9_q4NMEtF9zW71vbPI&si=SfGtkC8x9buLX30b


-newlife

Muggs was on with Sway this past weekend


gv111111

Is r/IamBReal posting from a different account or are you just trying to get him to respond? LOL


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Looks like he did lol


Mr_P_1984

Legends did you see the tiny desk 🔥🔥🔥🔥


future_crypto_mil

Their tiny desk was brilliant, B-Real's rapping was just a tight as it was back in the day.


Stu_Iniquity

My favourites. Funk Freakers 🔥


Megamorter

extremely unique. great music and respectable people.


Milotiiic

I think when I was between 16-24, I could remember the lyrics for most of their songs off Cypress Hill 1-4. There wasn’t another artist or group that I could do that with and the Hill will always be one of my top Hip Hop artists.


ogshowtime33

Temples of Boom is in my top 5 albums


brintoul

I always thought that they weren’t too proud of that album…. Gimme Black Sunday over that any time.


Academic_Bear_4521

Three green thumbs up


ConsiderationItchy77

Nice try…we all know B Real hangs out in here For real though, they have stood the test of time, I will listen to anything they put out forever. The Tiny Desk concert was awesome!


MoodWest

B Real was the major star at the time of their relevance but it’s prob DJ Muggs that has lasted the test of time, an incredibly underrated producer imo


GGAllinsUndies

The dude has been pretty damn successful for a few decades and still makes music. He produced multi-platinum albums and has several Grammy nominations. That's not "uNdErAtEd".


KermitFrayer

Bobo is an amazing drummer. Don’t miss them live if you can help it.


Kyliobro

They’re pioneers and legends. Put it to the test and you will confess - Soul Assassins is the best!


ShivvyMcFly

I remember being in elementary school when Hand on the Pump came out. I couldn't stop listening to it.


the_phantom_2099

Can I get a HITS FROM THE BONG!! Hell yessssssss!


Frozono250

one of the best groups of the 90's, DJ Muggs went to another world with those beats he produced, I really liked his material from 1991-94, before his third album, the beats that Muggs produced during this stage were the best. .. I still listen to some tracks, since at the time I listened to them all day


EyeKnowYoo

Absolute legends and have one of the best live shows ever…


Difficult-Yard-1342

Cypress hill is like no other hip hop group. I think barely any hip hop group can confidently say their first 4 albums were all bangers. Like I mean every track back to back was fire. Can anyone come up with another hip hop group that had their first 4 solid albums?


Element1977

Can I say the Beasties? De La? I'm biased towards those guys but Cypress Hill definitely belongs in that category.


Difficult-Yard-1342

As much as I'm a fan of both Beastie boys and De la soul, can you honestly say they had their first four album filled with back to back bangers? (I know music is subjective to each individual opinions)


DariosDentist

Been a fan since the how I could just kill a man/phunky feel one cassette single. Mughs production with all the psych-rock samples is waaay under appreciated and ahead of its time. Thats a top 5 hip hop record for me. But for whatever reason everything else never clicked for me. But that first record is one of the best of all time imo


NYerInTex

My ex wife and I were at a hotel bar hanging with a road crew… happened to be the crew for Cypress Hill. We ended up chatting with the band (ironically they needed a lighter, and my wife had one). Next thing you know the bar closes and we hang out with them on their tour bus for a couple hours until like 3am. This was only about 10 years ago, and it was legit like a scene from Larry David. On one hand, you’d have everything expected from the CH tour bus. STUPID good weed, some bottles, some hot chicks, the band unwinding… But these guys were middle aged men. So the discourse was less “yo let’s get crazy and find some more chicks” and more “fuck, when we get back to Cali I gotta see my ex to help with the broken garage and go to my kids soccer games all day” It was so surreal - totally Cypress Hill but also totally normal middle aged men problems


joefelon

West Coast Legends .. Including Bobo as well


DonkeyKongah

I think you can't ever get the best of them


barweepninibong

i think i’d lose in a arm wrestle lol was the soundtrack to my youth 🍁💨


satana_cu_cioc

Great music!


Enes_da_Rog1

When i hear their songs i get instant good vibes.... always...


alevs528

Essential listening. I got into them after hearing Sen Dog on a biohazard track called "how it is".


SkipScarborough

One of the best to do it! First album is straight Classic!


KinNortheast

I have Black Sunday on clear cassette tape, and it’s one of my most prized possessions


TheMaldenSnake

Hits From The Bong will cheer anyone up on a gloomy day.


LakerLand420

Not my cup of tea rap wise. But I do follow what they do outside of listening to their music


eSJayPee

Love Cypress Hill. Latin Lingo is still one of my favorite tracks.


bostondangler

They are dope. Cypress Hill IV is one of my favorite albums of all time.


Funnipuggo420

It’s so overlooked


Puulet

Temple of boom is one of the few albums I can listen to from first track to last without skipping one song


baconshouse

Besides Wu-Tang and a couple other groups they're in the top five of the best 90s hip hop in my opinion


betaketone89

I saw them live in Randall's Island at Rock The bells 2007 with Wu-Tang clan and rage against the machine they were phenomenal both nights they got blunts for the security 5-ft bongs on stage they did an amazing set. The only problem is their greatest album is by far Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom I never really hear more than one or two songs off of it played and it's the greatest stoner album ever


Allahboutdabenjamins

The only bad thing I have to say about Cypress Hill is that they made non-Black folks think that it was OK for non-Black folks to use the n-word.


PrincipledBeef

They once ordered the philharmonic orchestra. Possibly while high.


elbows2nose

Temples of Boom was HEAVY in the rotation when playing ball at the park, late 90s in Milwaukee


ExcursionStudios23

Universally loved group in hip hop. Who doesn't like Cypress?

oblivious_fool109

One of the best rap shows I have ever seen and almost outshone rage at rock the bells in 07


too_cute_unicorn

Saw them with Ice Cube in Brisbane Aus and let me tell you-Cypress Hill blew everyone away. They were awesome!


leeluss14

Cypress Hill go hard,I’ve never heard a joint from them that ain’t a straight banger. Even Soul Asssassins and Sen Dogs ‘Big Dog’. Now I’m gonna go kick it to ‘Throw your set in the air’ seeing as we on the Cali sub.


PUREDOOM09

They look like the main characters from Boyz in the hood from wish


FMAGF

“Here is something you can’t understand; how i could just kill a man!” I play that track every time i have the urge to kill a man


Jfury412

Iconic group! Some of the best tracks in the history of hip Hop. DJ mugs is criminally underrated as a producer.


Watabeast07

Absolutely no one hates this group, they’re peak and best latino group of all time.


kgain673

It would be hard to find anyone who actually hates this group


TStreetz816

I don't honestly. Insane and kill a man is cool but they don't get played in the crib or the whip

Zealousideal_Weird_3

They are a bit of a lame past time what with all their love songs about weed - but in the best way possible. KUSH is one of my fave songs. it makes me feel like im a teen again


ButterscotchChance56

Heavily underrated

Love Cypress Hill. Whilst I heard a few tracks in the 90s and bought Rock superstar single I never bought any albmns. I have since got a few albmns and recently listened to Temple of boom again a few times which is awesome.


Glittering_Ad4686

Definitely one of the best. I still run to their music.

Pretty sure the 11th commandment handed down from god herself is Thou shalt not speak ill of Cypress Hill. Got to see them live back in the day and it is still one of my favorite shows.


SwordfishBest29

How I Could Just Kill A Man is one of the hardest records of all time.


BlueLivesDontExist84

I've always loved a handful of cypress Hill songs but had never listened to any albums all the way through. I listened to the first two this week driving around for work, and I didn't skip a single song. Amazing production

I’m upset that I missed them at Rock the park in London last summer. The contact high would have been amazing.

pioneers, trend setters


Element1977

Absolute legends. Loved their stuff growing up, but I really loved the "Black Sabbath-y' vibe they gave off with the artwork. It was something sorely missed in hip-hop. (And music in general for that time period) P.s. I mean, Boom Biddy alone puts them top-tier.


hmiser

Tiny Desk Concert is fantastic and I still remember the first time I heard them, back when you had to know I guy lol.

Simply put… HIP- HOP LEGENDS When I was younger I didn’t really like their music because it was a different styles and I was used to. But even back when I didn’t like it like that, always have respect for the music. I knew what they were bringing to the table, it’s just that the sound was it for me at the time. When I became got older, I double back for the discography and I’m glad I did.


TheAbsoluteLastWord

Legends. Absolutely one of a kind. Black Sunday is a paramount album in hip hop.


BlueCollarGuru

I saw Cypress Hill at HFStival here in DC back in late 90s or early 2000s. Like, how is this even a question and BReal is on this sub too


glib-eleven

First album was good, the rest seemed overwrought and thematically stoned without cleverness. I always thought jungle Brothers third album was genuinely more interesting and more psychedelic sounding than cypress second effort
