B real (leadman) is Mexican & Afro Cuban Sen DoG (2nd MC) is Afro Cuban. Dj Muggs is Italian from NY/Cali Percussionist is Puerto Rican. A West Coast group. The House of Pain song ,jump around, was made by DJ for be real he didn't want it so give it to Everlast and the rest is history. I just saw Cypress Hill in concert last night in Oakland at Haunted Hill it was incredible dude thanks for the review 🎃👍
@@straightsithmale9872DJ Muggs is Italian I read that from a magazine back in the 90s born in NewYork then moved yo Cali as a teenager they grew up in East LA that’s why they act a little Mexican
Now that u reacted to this the next step is Digital Underground. Check out The Humpty Dance. Great reaction! U r on a great journey my friend. Ur hip hop education is just beginning!
I saw Cypress Hill back in the ol' 1900s at a Lollapalooza... they rolled out a ten foot bong and smoked the whole set. At one point one of the guys said his lighter wasn't working and a second later there was a rain of lighters from the crowd. That was a great set.
DJ scratching is missing from today's music and I also really miss it! Nice reaction, Cypress has some real great songs, the whole Black Sunday album is top notch, I hope you check out Hits from the Bong, I Ain't Goin Out Like That. Fun reaction, surprised you didn't know this one!
I saw Cypress Hill at Woodstock 1994, the year this song came out. They had a 6 or 8 foot long joint that they used a fan to blow smoke out over the crowd. It was a great day.
Check out the song "Slam" by Onyx. It was the other song from this era that was in super heavy rotation on the radio, along with Insane in the Brain and Jump Around.
I'm happy you commented on just how unique this group is. I've listened to so much old school Hip-Hop and never found anyone who sounds, anything like them. Fantastic!!.
Cypress Hill Songs are usually in movie soundtrack featuring pot smoking. It's in Fridays, This is the End and many more. "How I Could Just Kill a Man" is hard but features many hip hop artists of the 90s like Ice Cube. Video is in NYC streets and subway. Must watch among other great hits..
Sen Dog( the black guy) is actually cuban decent, His brother Mellow Man Ace is also a well known rapper back in the day. B Real the lead rapper is also Hispanic/Cuban decent.
Fat(phat) was a word used by EVERYONE in the early 90’s it was used just like “lit” or “fire” or dope today….. Cypress Hill is a Latino rap group that changed the game along with House of Pain in the very early 90’s. They were both just completely original style wise. Shout out Soul Assasins crew, DJ Muggs is the man behind the music that gave both groups that distinct sound. But like you said, B-reals flow was super fresh!! None of us heard anything like it at the time. IMO same can be said for Everlast from house of pain. Soul Assasins were runnin shit for a few years in hip hop, tons of cats were copping that sound from ice cube…Redmans first record even Wu tang kind of had those vibes in some of 36 chambers album. This song is actually my least favorite on black Sunday album, but still dope. Also Check out: How I could just kill a man Hand on the pump Phunky feel one Ain’t goin out like that Cock the hammer Illusions And for more house of pain: Put your head out(featuring B-Real) Shamrocks and shenanigans House of pain anthem Life goes on Who’s the man Back from the dead On point Fed up
Cypress Hill was my first real love of rap. Early teen, ‘97, white boy on a potato farm in a small eastern Idaho town. Driving tractors and combines bumping Black Sunday and Temples of Boom!
I'll tell you 💯... B-Real is one of the coolest, most humble, and most real people I have ever met in my life. 💯 That dude is 600% cooler than you already think he might be.
They are still fun to see live. Caught them a few years ago and they, were in fact, still going insane. If you want to go back a few more years, Heavy D & the Boyz: Now that we Found Love
This was a diss track. Cypress Hill were Bloods (Family Swan Bloods), and I think this was a diss track against another rapper who was Crip. B-real (1st rapper) is Cuban and Mexican, and Sen Dogg (2nd rapper) is Cuban. The tie between Cypress Hill and House of Pain is DJ Muggs. He wrote and produced both, Jump Around, and Insane in the Brain. Jump Around was originally written for Cypress Hill, but they didn’t want it. He also wrote “Check Yo Self” by Ice Cube. DJ Muggs is legendary. If you haven’t heard the Soul Assassins, check it out. The dude has worked with every legend in hip-hop.
The diss by B-Real was directed at a rapper name Chubb Rock and Sen Dogs verse was directed at Kid Frost. Idk the complete back stories to that but I recently seen an interview from B-Real speaking on it. As far as Cypress using the N word is because they grew up in the culture as Bloods. When BReal joined the group Psycho Realm, a chicano rap group, they made it clear to him that the N word cant be used…
I'm so glad you hit this group. They're somewhat overlooked 3 Other good ones are hand on the pump, illusions, and superstar On a side note 2 other great bands are The Who:the song Who are you And The Doors:song l.a. woman If you ever have a chance check them out they both have some good tunes
YES!!! THIS is the Rap/Hip Hop that I love; this and earlier; the beginning, in the late 70’s, up to this. PLEASE Shon, please react to Public Enemy’s “NIGHT OF THE LIVING BASEHEADS”, and you’ll hear how HARD it hits! The Bass, the message, the delivery; a WHOLE different animal. As much as I like Cypress Hill, you’ve GOT to hear Night Of The Living Baseheads 🙏
House of Pain, Cypress Hill and Funkdoobiest all knew each other, Mugs did beats for all of them. B-Real and Son Doobie are on tracks on House of Pain's Fine Malt Lyrics album.
Two cubans an italian and a Puerto Rican. This song is partly a diss track and the victim was Chubb Rock. He dissed them out of nowhere on a song called yabba dabba doo
Great timing. This is from the days I used to drink and party. I just came home from my neighbours birthday party, tipsy and feeling nostalgic. Perfect video to match my mood 😛
Public Enemy pioneered putting those high screeching sounds on their tracks because then they could hear who was bumping their jams in the cars on the street. That noise stands out above the rumble of the beats.
Alright man, you want that cookout invite? You need to know George Clinton “We Want The Funk”. That will get you into the cookout with a seat at the dominoes game
I really hope you do Mic Checka and or Das EFX which are both by the band Das EFX. They were out around the same time, and had their own flow, but I think you will love them. Great reactions.
Does B-real get a pass to say the n-word? His parents are Mexican and Cuban. But he grew up in LA and was with a set of bloods (Family Swan Bloods) that were all black. He was the only Hispanic kid in the gang. I know he carried a gun and he got shot up in a drive by. Had bullets in his lung and a fragment still in his body somewhere. The members of Cypress Hill encouraged him to make music and leave the street life behind. (So he's not a pretend gangsta he really came from that life.)
As a latino the n word was used back in the day as a recognition of the hood ways and how bkack and brown are attacked, and we stand with our coloured brother. ❤✌🏽
Cypress hill -Rock Superstar Cypress hill -throw your set in the air Cypress hill -Low Rider Cypress hill -how could i just kill a man Cypress -hits from the bong Those are just a few
In the 90's that word wasn't so black. Meaning that it was ok to use the word as long as it wasn't directed at a black person. Check out the Ice T and Perry Farrell collaboration. The song "Dont call me whitey"
B Real is Mexican (father)/Cuban (mother), Sen Dog is Cuban and Eric Bobo is Puerto Rican. Dj Muggs (no longer in the group) is Italian. Sen Dog's brother, Mellow Man Ace, used to be in the group.
If you don't immediately think "in the membrane" when someone says "insane," you need to listen to more of this song. lol
YES!
Amen
This song was so huge back in the day. Like, even if you didn't listen to this genre of music, you 100% knew *this* song.
Yes! Very true.
B real (leadman) is Mexican & Afro Cuban
Sen DoG (2nd MC) is Afro Cuban.
Dj Muggs is Italian from NY/Cali
Percussionist is Puerto Rican.
A West Coast group. The House of Pain song ,jump around, was made by DJ for be real he didn't want it so give it to Everlast and the rest is history. I just saw Cypress Hill in concert last night in Oakland at Haunted Hill it was incredible dude thanks for the review 🎃👍
I'm pretty sure Muggs is Blackacan (half Black half Mexican) I may be wrong
DJ Muggs did a bunch of mixing and producing for House of Pain songs, some great beats!
@@straightsithmale9872DJ Muggs is Italian I read that from a magazine back in the 90s born in NewYork then moved yo Cali as a teenager they grew up in East LA that’s why they act a little Mexican
@@straightsithmale9872 Muggs is Italian from NY and Cali
@@straightsithmale9872 Muggs is white, stop playing with bullshit.
PHAT in the 90's was basically what FIRE is today!
This
Word.
Now that u reacted to this the next step is Digital Underground. Check out The Humpty Dance. Great reaction! U r on a great journey my friend. Ur hip hop education is just beginning!
I'm a freak, I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom
2 PaC is in that video 😁
I second checking out The Humpty Dance. One of the last of the great fun party rap songs.
Love the bass in the background on The Humpty Dance.
I would also add same song
I saw Cypress Hill back in the ol' 1900s at a Lollapalooza... they rolled out a ten foot bong and smoked the whole set. At one point one of the guys said his lighter wasn't working and a second later there was a rain of lighters from the crowd.
That was a great set.
I saw them at Lollapalooza back in the day too! They were 🔥🔥🔥
Raised on Cypress Hill in the 90s!!!
"Boom bitty bye bye" and "Hits from the Bong" ARE A MUST BRO!!!!! YOULL LOVE THEM!!!
DJ scratching is missing from today's music and I also really miss it! Nice reaction, Cypress has some real great songs, the whole Black Sunday album is top notch, I hope you check out Hits from the Bong, I Ain't Goin Out Like That. Fun reaction, surprised you didn't know this one!

This flow is reminscient of the Beastie Boys from 1992's Check your head album. The beasties once again, changed the flow of rap.
Man I love your reaction. Cypress are amazing 👏cypress are white black and Mexican. One love bro
Check out the song "Slam" by Onyx. It was the other song from this era that was in super heavy rotation on the radio, along with Insane in the Brain and Jump Around.
🎶Let the Boys be Boys!🎶
I'm happy you commented on just how unique this group is.
I've listened to so much old school Hip-Hop and never found anyone who sounds, anything like them.
Fantastic!!.
I love the appreciation you have for this song. I was 16yrs old when this song came out and everyone loved this song!
Dr. Greenthumb,Checkmate Fool,Hits from the Bong...great stuff from this era.

Im pretty sure 8 mile has the instrumental
6:13 B-Real main vocals is Mexican/Cuban, Sen-Dog back up vocals is Cuban. DJ Muggs is Italian-American
In my 20s I could sing this whole song! I can still remember some ❤❤
Sen Dog( the black guy) is actually cuban decent, His brother Mellow Man Ace is also a well known rapper back in the day. B Real the lead rapper is also Hispanic/Cuban decent.
in 2004 i went to watch Eminem at the MK Bowl in the UK - Cypress Hill were one of the backup bands and dayummm the place was rocking

Cypress Hill was my first real love of rap. Early teen, ‘97, white boy on a potato farm in a small eastern Idaho town. Driving tractors and combines bumping Black Sunday and Temples of Boom!
Hip hop songs were flowing on the dancefloors, even in alternative clubs.
I'm Dutch & Aus, and so are these dudes... 🔥
Their song How I Could Just Kill a Man is a classic.
Facts, his flow is incredible
The sound is from a horse.
The big-4-0 is a 40 ounce malt liqueur. Genius!
OMG,this brought back memories of ICP doing a parody of Jump Around ,and then one called Hokus Pokus for this song too!
Argentina is "Insane in the brain" 🤟🏻🇦🇷 🤪
I'll tell you 💯...
B-Real is one of the coolest, most humble, and most real people I have ever met in my life. 💯
That dude is 600% cooler than you already think he might be.
Lead rapper had to change his voice/sound so he didn't sound like everyone else in order to get signed
They are still fun to see live. Caught them a few years ago and they, were in fact, still going insane.
If you want to go back a few more years, Heavy D & the Boyz: Now that we Found Love
Every track on this album is insane 😝🤘
cypress hill were huge in Europe in the mid 90ies! Even in the metal scene everybody loved it!
Man, absolutely the BEST live shows ever. I am so hyped right now just from the memories ❤❤❤
Saw them at Lollapalooza in mid 90's and they stole the show. Brought out the biggest bong ever for Hits from the bong
BEASTIE BOYS! BEASTIE BOYS! BEASTIE BOYS! You'll get hooked with their dj, beats, and bars!!
This was a diss track. Cypress Hill were Bloods (Family Swan Bloods), and I think this was a diss track against another rapper who was Crip.

This was a diss towards Chubb Rock (East Coast rapper) because he dissed them first
Well...this will be in my head for the next couple of days...
This is wild. I was JUST thinking of suggesting this one to you
'...these pigs wanna blow my crops down...' 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"O.P.P." -- Naughty by Nature
Cypress Hill is still dropping albums. They did one with nothing but gun noises called Shots Go Off that's amazing.
Need the explicit version of any Cypress Hill, they had that sticker on their album sleeves for a reason. Cypress Hill were Latinos, no?
The diss by B-Real was directed at a rapper name Chubb Rock and Sen Dogs verse was directed at Kid Frost. Idk the complete back stories to that but I recently seen an interview from B-Real speaking on it. As far as Cypress using the N word is because they grew up in the culture as Bloods.

They recently performed on NPRs “Tiny Desk Concerts”. They still got it 🤙🏼 💨
I'm so glad you hit this group. They're somewhat overlooked
3 Other good ones are hand on the pump, illusions, and superstar
On a side note
2 other great bands are
The Who:the song Who are you
And
The Doors:song l.a. woman
If you ever have a chance check them out they both have some good tunes
Love These guys! Hope you react to more of their songs. They also do Spanish versions 😊
6:38 - In 90's rap, everyone used to use the N word. It was more of a rap culture/attitude, not a color.race thing.
Cool - may I recommend an overlooked group from the same era - The Pharcyde - "Oh Shit"....also very fun....
YES!!! THIS is the Rap/Hip Hop that I love; this and earlier; the beginning, in the late 70’s, up to this. PLEASE Shon, please react to Public Enemy’s “NIGHT OF THE LIVING BASEHEADS”, and you’ll hear how HARD it hits! The Bass, the message, the delivery; a WHOLE different animal.

Hits from the Bong is a banger from Cypress Hill

How can you not know this song.😅Ah well you do know, i know you're going to love it for the rest of your life. 😂
Public Enemy pioneered putting those high screeching sounds on their tracks because then they could hear who was bumping their jams in the cars on the street. That noise stands out above the rumble of the beats.
You should listen to Hits From the Bong. Bringing me back to my old school days!!!!!!
"Latin Lingo" was 🔥 as well. Check it out.
Phat, phresh, phunky, and lit🔥
Alright man, you want that cookout invite? You need to know George Clinton “We Want The Funk”. That will get you into the cookout with a seat at the dominoes game
When their first album came out, it was crazy.
"It's 1 white boy and 2 fucking Cubans " Ice Cube king of the hill
Sounds r@cist AF to me
Cypress' first album is BUMPIN', start to finish, full stop.
I'm hoping you'll do The Gasface by 3rd Bass soon. You gotta get to know MC Serch.
Yes, props to DJ Mugs
With that opening- every GenX'er turned around.
That was 🔥🔥🔥
B-Real is Mexican-Cuban
I am of the caucasian persuasion, this track got me rappin’ and i’ve never looked back!
Check out the Cypress Hill song Low Rider
You have to do rock star by these guys. Song was in the movie training day
I really hope you do Mic Checka and or Das EFX which are both by the band Das EFX. They were out around the same time, and had their own flow, but I think you will love them. Great reactions.
Awesome reaction! Now on to ( the Humpty Dance) by Digital underground 🙌🏻
PHAT= was a slang term meaning cool, neato, awesome, amazing. Word.
i think you would really enjoy 'renegade' by styx.
This album is classic, hitz from the bong
Check out their song- Tequila Sunrise. Good sh!t !

B real a blood .
Banger
As a latino the n word was used back in the day as a recognition of the hood ways and how bkack and brown are attacked, and we stand with our coloured brother. ❤✌🏽
You gotta check out "Dr Greenthumb" by Cypress...
It's got a great video too
They're not black. They're latino. They just adopted the use of the n word in their lyrics because of the gangsta rap style.
You want some scratching ... ice-t - colours , great lyrics to
Todays video was perfect
Hit that bong.😎
B-Real's vocal style is akin to the way gangsters used to talk back in the 1940s.
Suggestion, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony - If I Could Teach the World
PHAT = pretty hot and tempting
Great reaction Shon. Thanks.
Nina Hagen - New York New York
Cypress hill -Rock Superstar
Cypress hill -throw your set in the air
Cypress hill -Low Rider
Cypress hill -how could i just kill a man
Cypress -hits from the bong
Those are just a few
In the 90's that word wasn't so black.
Meaning that it was ok to use the word as long as it wasn't directed at a black person.
Check out the Ice T and Perry Farrell collaboration. The song "Dont call me whitey"
Hollywood walk of Fame. These guys are it.
Shon is an alright dude
Yo my first two CDs I ever bought were Snoop Dogg doggystyle and this album from Cypress hill. I was 16.
B Real is Mexican (father)/Cuban (mother), Sen Dog is Cuban and Eric Bobo is Puerto Rican. Dj Muggs (no longer in the group) is Italian. Sen Dog's brother, Mellow Man Ace, used to be in the group.
More like his flow is uniquely extreme. Lol
Yassssssss
DJ Muggs had that sound. Jump Around was another he did
i Think it was Ice cube!
Need to review the band Bad Brains
You nailed, you don’t see talent these days..
No he needs to do Dr. Greenthumb first.
Try Dr. Green thumb by cypress hill
