Their first album, which was self-titled, was released in August 1991. Its single was "Phuncky Feel One", but it was the B-side "How I Could Just Kill A Man" (formerly "Trigga Happy Nigga") that attracted more airplay on urban radio and college radio. Based on the success of the single and other tracks such as bilingual track "Latin Lingo" and X-rated Spanish track "Tres Equis", the album sold two million copies in the US alone. Subsequently, DJ Muggs produced the first House of Pain album, then worked on other projects like Funkdoobiest. The band made their first appearance at Lollapalooza on the side stage in 1992.
Black Sunday, the group's second album, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in 1993, recording the highest Soundscan for a rap group up until that time. Also with their debut still on the charts they became the first rap artists to have 2 albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 at the same time. With "Insane in the Brain" becoming a crossover hit, the album went triple platinum in the U.S. and sold about 3.25 million copies.
Cypress Hill was banned from Saturday Night Live after Muggs smoked cannabis on-air and the band trashed their instruments while playing their second single "I Ain't Goin' Out Like That". The band headlined the "Soul Assassins" tour with House of Pain and Funkdoobiest as support, then performed on a college tour with Rage Against the Machine and Seven Year Bitch. In 1993, Cypress Hill also had two tracks on the Judgment Night soundtrack, teamed up with Pearl Jam and Sonic Youth.
The band played at the 1994 Woodstock Festival introducing their new member Eric Bobo, formerly a percussionist with the Beastie Boys. Bobo is the son of salsa musician Willie Bobo. Rolling Stone magazine named the band as the best rap group in their music awards voted by critics and readers. Cypress Hill played at Lollapalooza for two successive years, topping the bill in 1995. They appeared on the The Simpsons episode "Homerpalooza".
Their third album Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom was released in 1995 selling 1.5 million copies and reaching number 3 on the Billboard 200 on the strength of the hit single "Throw Your Set in the Air". Cypress Hill also contributed a track "I Wanna Get High" to the High Times sponsored Hempilation album to support NORML.
Feud With Ice Cube
Ice Cube asked to put "Throw Your Set in the Air" on his Friday soundtrack, but B-Real refused, prompting Cube to record a new song "Friday" with a similar chorus; Cypress Hill responded with the track "No Rest For The Wicked." Westside Connection replied with the diss track "King Of The Hill" and "Cross Em Out & Put a K", to which Cypress Hill replied with "Ice Cube Killa," which uses the same beat as "King Of The Hill" and disses Ice Cube and Mack 10. "Ice Cube Killa" has never been released officially. In 1997 B-Real of Cypress Hill and Ice Cube were invited to a late night talk show in order to reconcile their differences for the benefit of the hip hop community, and the feud thus ended. Cube And B-Real would work together later that year as guest features on the track "Men of Steel" for the soundtrack of Shaquille O'Neal's film Steel. B-Real and Cube did even feature as guests in Warren G's single "Get U Down" which also featured Snoop Dogg.
Continued career
Sen Dog took a break from the band to form a Los Angeles based punk-rap band SX-10. Meanwhile in 1996, Cypress Hill appeared on the first 'Smokin' Grooves' tour, featuring Ziggy Marley, The Fugees, Busta Rhymes and A Tribe Called Quest. The band also released a nine track EP Unreleased and Revamped with rare mixes. In 1997, band members focused on their solo careers. Muggs released Muggs Presents ... the Soul Assassins featuring contributions from Wu-Tang Clan members, Dr. Dre, KRS-One, Wyclef Jean and Mobb Deep. B-Real appeared with Busta Rhymes, Coolio, LL Cool J and Method Man on "Hit Em High" from the multi-platinum Space Jam Soundtrack. He also appeared with RBX, Nas and KRS-One on "East Coast Killer, West Coast Killer" on Dr. Dre's Dr. Dre Presents the Aftermath album, and released an album entitled "The Psycho Realm" from his side project of the same name. Though the focus that year was not on Cypress Hill, the band played Smokin' Grooves with George Clinton and Erykah Badu.
Cypress Hill released IV in 1998 which went gold in the U.S., even though the reviews were somewhat negative,[citation needed] on the backs of hit singles "Tequila Sunrise" and another tribute to smoking cannabis "Dr. Greenthumb." Sen Dog also released the Get Wood sampler as part of SX-10 on the label Flip. In 1999, Cypress Hill helped with the PC crime/very mature video game Kingpin: Life of Crime. Three of their songs from the 1998 IV album were in the game ( "16 Men Till There's No Men Left", "Checkmate" and "Lightning Strikes"). B-Real also did some of the voices of the people in the game. Also in 1999, the band released a greatest-hits album in Spanish, Los grandes éxitos en español. Cypress Hill then fused genres with their two-disc release, Skull & Bones, in 2000. The first disc, "Skull" was comprised of rap tracks while "Bones" explored further the group's forays into rock. The album reached the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and number 3 in Canada. The first single was "Rock Superstar" for rock radio and "Rap Superstar" for urban radio. The band also released Live at the Fillmore, a concert disc recorded at the Fillmore (in San Fransico) in 2000. Cypress Hill continued their experimentation with rock on the Stoned Raiders album in 2001. However, its sales were a disappointment, as the disc did not even reach the top 50 of the U.S. album charts. In 2001, the group appeared in the film How High.
Cypress Hill recorded "Just Another Victim" for the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as a theme song for Tazz. At the time, WWE was using original music for almost all of the wrestlers, so this was an unusual step for the company to take, but it remains one of the more memorable songs to emerge from the wrestling organization. The band released Till Death Do Us Part on March 23, 2004. The album saw the band experiment with reggae especially on the lead single "What's Your Number". The track features Tim Armstrong of Rancid on guitar and Rob Aston of The Transplants on backup vocals. It is based on the classic song "Guns of Brixton" on The Clash's London Calling and has proven to be a success on the modern rock charts. However, the album represented a further departure from the signature sound of their first four albums. The album also features appearances by Damian Marley, son of Bob Marley, Prodigy and Twin of Mobb Deep and producer the Alchemist.
In 2004, the song How I Could Just Kill A Man was included in the popular videogame Grand Theft Auto San Andreas created by Rockstar Games, playing on West Coast hip hop radio station Radio Los Santos. In December of 2005 a best of compilation album titled Greatest Hits From the Bong was released including 9 hits from previous albums and 2 new tracks. The group's next album was tentatively scheduled for an early 2007 release. In the summer of 2006, B-Real appeared on Snoop Dogg's single "Vato". Pharrell Williams produced the track, and originally sang the hook, but because of the video idea, B-Real was asked to sing the hook. Sen Dog is now currently touring with the Kottonmouth Kings, Kingspade and Dogboy on the Joint is on Fire Tour
In 2007 Cypress Hill toured with their full line up as a part of the Rock the Bells tour, held by Guerilla Union, and headlined with Public Enemy, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and a reunited Rage Against the Machine. Other acts included Immortal Technique, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, The Roots, EPMD, Pharoae Monch, Jedi Mind Tricks, Erykah Badu, MF Doom, Sage Francis, Brother Ali, The Coup, Blue Print, Lucky I Am, Living Legends, Felt, Cage, Mr. Lif, Grouch & Eligh, and Hangar 18.
Departure from Sony
Having fulfilled their contractual obligations with Sony Music, Cypress Hill will release an as-yet untitled album through a different record label in 2008.
Recently, it was announced that Cypress Hill will be members of the Kannabis Kartel along with the Kottonmouth Kings and Potluck. Their album will be released on Suburban Noize Records.
STYLE
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Production
One of the band's most striking aspects is B-Real's exaggeratedly high-pitched nasal vocals, which fits and emphasizes the lyrics' concentration on parodied gangster stories.
Sen Dog's lyrics are progressively more violent and tend to involve fewer rhyme schemes compared with B-Real's. In addition, as the style is today, some words are emphasized by adding a background voice to say them, however, Sen Dog's emphases are always more prominent, mostly shouted alongside with the rapping.
The sound and groove of their music, produced by Muggs, is also notable for its influence and stoned aesthetic; with its bass-heavy rhythms and odd sample loops ("Insane in the Brain" is notable for having a horse neigh looped in its chorus), it carries a psychedelic value, which lessened in the later albums.
The band is also known for involving rock instruments in their songs. This has caused the band to sometimes be classified as a rapcore group. In IV, there is Lightning Strikes which doesn't truly use electric guitars, but a synthesized version of it. Skull & Bones has an entire disc using such instruments, labeled Bones. As for their later works, their involvement in rock ended with the album Stoned Raiders (the tracks Trouble (also the first single of the album), Amplified and Catastrophe being the songs).
The band's music is constantly subject to change; while the first album follows a more minimalistic and funky sound, Black Sunday, the successor, has a slightly darker side to it. III (Temples of Boom) and IV are mostly influenced by psychedelic music. The band abandoned that on Skull & Bones and got closer to the modern rap as it is today. Stoned Raiders has a more authentic sound than the rest, and Till Death Do Us Part carries reggae influences.
The band is also known to involve horns in their songs, and often have guitar and horns together in the instrumentals. What's Your Number?, Trouble, Tequila Sunrise, and (Rock) Superstar have become some of the bands most popular songs featuring these elements. Cypress Hill's experimenting in different genres of music even includes reggaeton in their track "Latin Thugs" which features Tego Calderon.
Some fans feel that the band has drifted somewhat from the values of their earlier albums. For example in "Strictly Hip Hop" from Temples of Boom, the band complain about hip hop artists who have an album of hardcore tracks but have one or two pop songs which just so happen to be the singles. Cypress have arguably fallen into this trap with the single "What's You Number?"
The sound contribitions of DJ Muggs seems to be clearly influenced by marijuana consumption. Since one of the effects of a cannabis high is an altered audio sensual perception, the often slow paced and deep bass can be better appreciated. Furthermore, psychedelic sequences underly some parts of certain tracks such as "I Wanna Get High" for example. This is an interesting feature of their music, that had also been used before, especially during the 60's and 70's (e.g. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles).
Lyrics
The lyrics of tracks like "How I Could Just Kill A Man" offer an insight into the cultural expression of social stratification in L.A. at that point in history. Many other songs have cited topics such as police brutality, racial profiling, gang violence and anecdotes about invasion of privacy by police.
Furthermore the celebration of marijuana consumption is what they are often associated with in songs like "I Wanna Get High", "Stoned Is The Way Of The Walk" or "Hits From The Bong", the themes of recreational use of marijuana are prevalent.
Many of their songs also protest the current marijuana laws and voice their opinions on the hypocrisy of drug enforcement institutions.
Their lyrics often reflect the hip hop culture of Los Angeles in their earlier work such as their self-titled album and Black Sunday, which were very influential not only to Latino hip hop of the time but to many other hip hop groups around the world as well.
Throughout their career they have commonly incorporated Spanish into their lyrics as well as slang used by some Latinos in Los Angeles on songs like "Latin Lingo". Their album "Los Grandes Exitos En Espanol" features Spanish translations of many of their hit songs.
Years active 1987 - present.
Dust
Cypress Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That no creature crawls
I command you to let lose the last of the Titans
It's time to strike!
Let the rain pour down from God above
With the blood of my blade, no love, begin the flood
With wind at our backs, ready for any attacks
Sound the horns, prepare for war, begin the storm
The flaming arrows hitting your body, keeping you warm
With the uniform of my sworn enemies
You raped and pillaged my city, and spread disease
Feel the sword of the warrior's wrath, the path you take
Can lead to the math that the master's break
The clash of the titans, are you frightened of loss
Fighting with the cause to free, you and yours, and God's law
Look in the stars, aligned with sign and Mars
Destruction, what's your function, you roll with God
Attention, attention
The soul of the master's elements, disaster
Breaking ya faster, transmitting the broadcaster
The blade swings, slashing your throat
The vision's on the mission, seeking the note
Dropping the bomb, by remote
Load up the cavalry's, no salaries, the keys
The life's memories, strife bringing the thieves
Cut the heads off, hide in the loft, don't even cough
Or breath, pay the cost, moving your life's lost
Let the spirit reunite, with your weapon, you wanna fight
Hear the sound of the warriors stepping into the night
The eye in the sky, looking to punish ya, never hide
No cover to shelter your life, the souls begin to rise
And to clash
Attention, attention
God's enemies, fall in upon, the knees crawling
Beheading the dead souls, who runaway from their calling
Behold, the white horse, remorse, never the case
Every corner of the world, the battle is taking place
Let the war drum set the pace, you face fire
Resume, from the Temple of Boom, and seek higher thought
Maybe you live, or maybe not, the blade's hot
Many renegades ready for battle, die on the spot
With one shot, one whole city becomes rocked
The clash rages on, people remain calm
Good, bad, all in the balance, you going mad
You can never tell, heaven or hell, the blood shed
And it's all around, you can't run, sit in the cell
When the war's over, the light will shine, covering the spell
Celebrate now, put the blades to rest
No wickedness, only the blessed will hold down
Attention
You creating hysteria
Attention, attention
The lyrics to Cypress Hill's song Dust depict a battle, with the singer commanding the unleashing of the Titans and issuing orders for the start of the violent conflict. The imagery used in the song is that of destruction, with rain pouring down and the sound of horns blaring. The singer refers to their sworn enemies who have raped and pillaged their city, and calls for retribution. The clash of the Titans is a reference to Greek mythology, where the Titans were powerful beings engaged in a conflict with the gods.
The song has themes of chaos, war, and destruction, and the lyrics are written in a way that conjures up vivid imagery of a battle. The singer depicts themselves as a warrior, seeking revenge on their enemies and fighting for a just cause. The song is also infused with religious undertones, with references to God and the alignment of the stars. The use of the phrase "Attention, attention" throughout the song emphasizes the importance and urgency of the singer's message, adding to the sense of chaos and impending doom.

Load up the cavalry's, no salaries, the keys
Get ready to attack, without getting paid, and with the keys to success

The memories of life, and the struggle that brings out the worst in people
Cut the heads off, hide in the loft, don't even cough
Behead the enemy, hide in a high place, don't make any noise
Or breath, pay the cost, moving your life's lost
Don't breathe, pay the price, and risk losing your life
Let the spirit reunite, with your weapon, you wanna fight
Let your soul connect with your weapon, you want to fight
Hear the sound of the warriors stepping into the night
Hear the sound of the warriors that step into the darkness to fight
The eye in the sky, looking to punish ya, never hide
God is watching and will punish you, don't hide
No cover to shelter your life, the souls begin to rise
There's nowhere to hide from the chaos, the dead souls begin to rise
God's enemies, fall in upon, the knees crawling
God's enemies will bow down and surrender
Beheading the dead souls, who runaway from their calling
Killing people who didn't answer their life's calling
Behold, the white horse, remorse, never the case
Look at the white horse, there's no time for regret
Every corner of the world, the battle is taking place
The battle is happening all over the world
Let the war drum set the pace, you face fire
The sound of war drums sets the pace, you're facing destruction
Resume, from the Temple of Boom, and seek higher thought
Start again, from the place of loud noise, and find enlightenment
Maybe you live, or maybe not, the blade's hot
You may survive, or you may not, the weapon is deadly
Many renegades ready for battle, die on the spot
Many outcasts are willing to fight, but will be killed on the spot
With one shot, one whole city becomes rocked
One shot can cause great destruction to an entire city
The clash rages on, people remain calm
The fight continues, but the people stay composed
Good, bad, all in the balance, you going mad
The balance between good and bad affects your emotions
You can never tell, heaven or hell, the blood shed
You can't predict if you'll end up in heaven or hell, or how much blood will be shed
And it's all around, you can't run, sit in the cell
The destruction is everywhere, you can't escape it, just accept your fate
When the war's over, the light will shine, covering the spell
When the war is finished, there will be hope and positivity to cover up the past chaos
Celebrate now, put the blades to rest
Rejoice now that the battle is finished, put the weapons away
No wickedness, only the blessed will hold down
There will be no more evil, only those who are blessed will reign
You creating hysteria
You're causing mass panic and chaos
Attention, attention
Pay attention
Attention, attention
Pay attention

Lyrics:
As we bust out on the scene like a machine with a team
Looking for theme between cracks searching for cream
Physical energy can never be lost
Never be cleverly read or took on into the search of your own
Suckers are looking for treasures and pleasures endeavors images of plastic
Material whenever you're ready and steady rolling with deadly and friendly
Territorial glorious story I've heard nothing but hate for me
Coming from ghetto the gueros are holding the metal
Settle for gas as we passing you by sticking the pedal
Down to the floor and the horror is starting to pour
Everything I just threatened your blood you can't take it no more
Why did you try to forget it I said it to FUCK OFF!!
Now you'll be headed said I'm making you try to do laws
That's what you get for fronting I'm hunting em all
Giving them suckers a push and they fall
[Chorus:]
Got what you want got what you need the hardcore
Breaking the law the new seed yes they want more
Cypress Hill Soul Assassins we smokin
420 all day we ain't joking
Serving up none less than the hard stuff
Excess of the zes make it sound right
Beat it up all you want it's a damn right
Get up in my way I'll smoke your ass like dust
???? is loaded with snakes serpents who come and they take
Pieces of those who they break bodies are found in the lake
Only the victim is passed you got what you wanted last
Pockets are loaded with cash now that you're actually grass
Time keeps ticking and slipping away
Look at you tricking I'm sicking its clicking the trigger
And so is your place
Only the strong will survive hoping to keep it alive
I'll never be denied watch in who you confide
People are out on the prowl looking for those
Who obey dying like these killas defy so I keep fucking with y'all
Join fucking with the pace your just a waste in my face
Hit you with bass in your case give you all just a taste
Even the lemo the rebel bringing the metal with treble
So many rebels incredible time we battle
You're looking for answers no chances or victory dances
Don't give me no glances you'er all through in time no advances
[Chorus:]
Got what you want got what you need the hardcore
Breaking the law the new seed yes they want more
Cypress Hill Soul Assassins we smokin
420 all day we ain't joking
Serving up none less than the hard stuff
Excess of the zes make it sound right
Beat it up all you want it's a damn right
Get up in my way I'll smoke your ass like dust
Under the heavens with weapons step in directions of flesh and feeling the heat
The tension now dissin' and stressin'
Life is a battlefield the gat'll kill really die
Think of how that'll feel Sen will gladly build up your high
And going through changes the pages keep turning and burning
The rage is concerning the stage is becoming the sermon
Searching for harmony you wanna be balling me
But you never get no where cause I'm killing your whole philosophy
Rising like temperature a signature flow when we just scavengers
And wait your posse watch I'm truly tipping ya
Must be sipping the liquid to try to get with the sickness
Only the hardest will limp in and only the thrill when we get it?
I'm an assassin of soul out of control when I roll
You better hide in your hole I got your name on my skull
There ain't no running from me assassin are cunning you see
Blasting at those who obey clashing and lashing the weak!
[Chorus:]
Got what you want got what you need the hardcore
Breaking the law the new seed yes they want more
Cypress Hill Soul Assassins we smokin
420 all day we ain't joking
Serving up none less than the hard stuff
Excess of the zes make it sound right
Beat it up all you want it's a damn right
Get up in my way I'll smoke your ass like dust
