    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 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.

    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..

    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.

    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…

    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.)
