The song "Insane In the Brain" by Cold Chilling Collective is a hip-hop classic that was released in 1993. The lyrics describe a state of mental instability and the impact of this on daily life. The repetition of the phrase "insane in the brain" emphasizes the relative importance of the mind and the precarious balance it requires. The title itself is a play on words, with "brain" being used to represent the mind and "membraine" referring to the membrane that surrounds the brain.
The second verse of the song describes the singer's "ham in the frying pan," a metaphor for his mind being cooked, likely by drugs or alcohol. The reference to "Son of Sam" adds a menacing tone, as this was the nickname of the notorious 1970s serial killer David Berkowitz. The mention of Son of Sam is a reference to the mental instability that can lead to violent behavior, another consequence of living "insane in the brain."
Overall, "Insane In the Brain" can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug use and the importance of maintaining mental health. The lyrics emphasize the precarious balance that exists in our minds and the need to protect our mental well-being.

Au sein de Cold Chilling, collectif suédois revisitant les grands hits du hip hop, c'est peu dire que Buster Moe, auteur-compositeur né à Stockholm il y a 24 ans, tire son épingle du feu, lui qui met sa voix soul, râpeuse et tendre, au service de sa cover du Insane In The Brain de Cypress Hill, sommet du gangsta rap 90's, qu'il amène par la seule force de son talent vers une protest-song blues-folk galvanisée, genre Woody Guthrie branché sur le 380, qui irradie tout l'album (Cold Chilling : Compton, 29/01).
