Absolute classic of West Coast hip hop here from the eternally stoned Hispanic rap collective. Cypress Hill's debut album was an immediate success, propelling them into the mainstream with funky samples, murky production from DJ Muggssteeped in an atmosphere of thick smoke, and the charismatic, unique rapping of B-Real and Sen Dog. Like Public Enemyand earlyThe BeastieBoys, Cypress Hill got a lot of the rock crowd into hip hop, making their self-titled LP an ideal starting point into the world of rap.
