It's weird how old instincts kick in. We'd sit around listening to Cypress Hill getting so lit as kids. I smoke a few times a week now max. And now I'm 50 something and within 30 seconds into this song, I got my bonghits all lined up.
@@StaxReacts DJ Muggs made a 2021 remix of his track Hand on the Pump and its huge sounding, Id highly recommend checking that one out. The beat is fire.
This is one of their first videos. MTV didn't play it. You had to call "The Box" by phone, pay and it would appear on your tv. These guys had many, many hits. Check out two of my favorites: "I Ain't Going Out Like That" and "Hand on the Pump". Must watch the videos.
Some great Cypress Hill songs to react to would be, "The Phuncky Feel One", "Hand On The Pump", "Hole In The Head", "Stoned Is The Way Of The Walk", "Latin Lingo", "Tres Equis", "I Ain't Going Out Like That", "When The S**t Goes Down", "Hits From The Bong", "Roll It Up, Light It Up" & "Dr. Greenthumb". They also have some dope collabs with the "Beastie Boys" (which you already checked out), "House of Pain", "Funkdoobiest" & "Sonic Youth"
@StaxReacts borrowed from John Amos aka "James Evans"" on Good Times. "How do you where I'm at or where I'm going, if you haven't been where I been. Understand where I'm coming from ?"
Saw Cypress Hill (and Rollins Band) open for Beastie Boys at Dallas Sportatorium on their Check Your Head tour Most oversold / rowdy show I’ve ever been to Buddy and I found 2 joints under the seats in front of ours right before Cypress Hill set 🤣
one thing i have noticed in old school hip hop.......these artists had the ability to make yo ignore the lyrics and u can be amazed by his flow ,cadance,swag but maybe the 4th or 5th time u repeat the song thn u hear his messege.......u r left mindblown........everything was perfect even the songs tht r considered whack r dope........old school is fire and im only 18
In that second verse, it wasn't just some random dude it who broke into his house. It was one time aka a cop. And of course a song called "How I Could Just Kill a Man" would be violent. ✌This first album from Cypress Hill is still my favourite. And the shirt says "The Phunky Cypress Hill Sh*t". I still have that shirt!
Cypress Hill opened for the Beastie Boys in 1992, and Beastie Boys live percussionist Eric Bobo joined Cypress Hill in 1994 I believe and has been with them since.
"How do you know where Im at when you haven't been where I been...." (But the witty line after that makes it more potent). B Real then says, "Understand where Im coming from?" 🔥
Cypress hill is not simple band, they didn’t write only hip-hop songs like we think, they always create something special, you need listen their “trouble” or “rock superstar” either, must have
One of the rare moments Cube was hanging out with Cypress Hill. They had beef not long after this. Ice Cube's group Westside Connection released the diss track "King Of The Hill."
My brother has his ringtone set to "Dr. Greenthumb" for me... Cypress Hill classic. He's in the medical industry and has had to explain it to some of his patients.
Looking back on these guys, they were really good at dropping some cool beats and rhymes. I didn't follow them much earlier in my life, but Insane in the Membrane was a neat cutting edge video for the time.
Yeah Music reminiscent of Public Enemy and House of Pain with that Hypnotic Shreeky Noise with one of the Hardest Beats in HipHop IMO!! B Real Bars are definitely a one of kind Style!!
Great reaction as always .I have a request for you that will blow your mind ,you probably never heard about this lyric master ,not a lot ppl know this.React plz to Jeru The Damaja - Come Clean when u can u will like it
B- Real is Cuban/Mexican and Sean Dog is Cuban they both from Southgate California.He says Jura,Putos,Loco in Chicano slang jura means the police loco means crazy.
The Ice cube / Cypress diss tracks are pretty cool as well! It was all to do with Ice Cube stealing a Cypress hook for the Friday soundtrack CH - No Rest for the Wicked IC - King of the Hill In that order.....I think, someone will correct me I'm sure.... 😅
Yessssssss.. the song that put them on the map. Featured in the movie juice, but held back from the soundtrack because they wanted the drop to be on their first album. Still waiting on that reaction to "Throw Your Hands In The Air" featuring Redman, Eric Sermon, and MC Eiht. Link: th-cam.com/video/dNO6aR79PZ4/w-d-xo.html
What goes even harder is the Spanish version No Entiendes La Onda (How I Could Just Kill A Man) (Spanish Version). th-cam.com/video/RtRJ_CHA7d4/w-d-xo.html
I love tha Spanish versions! It sounds extra gangster if that makes sense. What’s interesting is if you listen close the back up/accent vocals are still in English
B-real was in the family swan bloods in LA, he was the only Hispanic guy in a black gang. I know he got shot up in a drive by (bullet in his lung and arm), and he used to always carry a pistol. Not a pretend gangsta when he raps "How I could just kill a man."
I grew up in Cali. He was not the only hispanic Mexican in the Swan Bloods in LA, there were a handful of them in that clique back then. Especially the ones that were mixed race. . But the rest of your story is true.
so if i told you BEASTIE BOYS AND CYPRESS HILL WERE TOURING TOGETHER WOULD THAT SURPRISE YOU??? SAME STORY TELLING STYLE!!! THEY LOVED EACH OTHERS TUNES!!!!
This was just about you and your crew against the world. Survival instinct. Self regulating outside the attention of the law. People knew how to interact with each other
Now picture yourself sitting in a Humvee hatch behind a M2 50 cal invading Iraq? This shit was pumpin' out of our speakers in our Armored Cav unit when we rolled up thru enemy villages and blared this & lots of Heavy Rock/Metal! Got your mind right for the business @ hand.

I'm on my way...
I'm with you homie, I'm 53 and still smoking not like I did when I was a teen. Good times. 😂
DJ muggs slayed this track, who also produced Jump Around from House Of Pain
🔥🔥💯
"Hit From The Bong", "Hand on the Pump" both would be good follow-ups, "Hits" is more laid back and "Hand" is more like this one.
All on the list 🙏🏽
@@StaxReacts DJ Muggs made a 2021 remix of his track Hand on the Pump and its huge sounding, Id highly recommend checking that one out. The beat is fire.
Almost every song from Black Sunday is gold!
Hits....
He said po-po the police broke in his home and shot the rookie cop...' young punk had to pay'. Merciless.
Ahhhhhh

MTV definitely played this clip. before their first album came out.. Yo MTV Raps
Yes. on the Box. Or Yo MTV Raps! and BET Rap City.
This was the jam back in the day!

Hits From The Bong ...craaaazyy!
How do you know where I'm at when you haven't been where I've been, understand where I'm coming from IS A FIRE LYRIC
🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯
Yeah it is…also the next bar too ‘when you’re up on the hill in your big home, I’m out here riskin my dome’
@StaxReacts borrowed from John Amos aka "James Evans"" on Good Times. "How do you where I'm at or where I'm going, if you haven't been where I been. Understand where I'm coming from ?"
Man, you do nothing but classic!!
Hahaaa I try too

The shirt said The phuncky Cypress Hill shit! One of their catchphrases. Their first album is so good from beginning to end.
Ahhhh gotcha thanks
That’s a FAFO attitude inducing jam! 🔥
🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥
Things were just rougher back then. I don’t know any better way to explain what he’s rapping about.
💯🙏🏽
Dr. Green Thumb! It's a hit!
🔥🔥🔥
watch the clip The Pharcyde - Drop ( Beastie Boys sample ) the entire clip is backwards
Betttt
Hits from the Bong - gives a more chill vibe. a good contrast to this one.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥
Great reaction! Love your enthusiasm for this song.
Thank youuuu
Yeeeeaaaah! That's the good stuff! 🔥🔥🔥
💯‼️🙏🏽
Tequila sunrise is my favorite cypress hill song🔥🔥
🙏🙏🙏
Cypress hill is not simple band, they didn’t write only hip-hop songs like we think, they always create something special, you need listen their “trouble” or “rock superstar” either, must have
🙏🏽🙏🏽
One of the rare moments Cube was hanging out with Cypress Hill. They had beef not long after this. Ice Cube's group Westside Connection released the diss track "King Of The Hill."
😳😳😳
The beef came from the "Friday" movie soundtrack. Cube used one of their tracks without permission, from what I remember...
My brother has his ringtone set to "Dr. Greenthumb" for me... Cypress Hill classic. He's in the medical industry and has had to explain it to some of his patients.
🔥🔥🐐
Rap Supe Star is another Cypress Hill song that is a must react.
🔥🔥🔥‼️
Looking back on these guys, they were really good at dropping some cool beats and rhymes. I didn't follow them much earlier in my life, but Insane in the Membrane was a neat cutting edge video for the time.
Couldn't agree more!
You got it right kid. 🔥🤟😎
uhhh your reaction are pure fire !
Thank you my man🙏🏽
Rage against the machine done a sick cover of this!

Amazing!!!
Yeah, with Insane in the brain & how could i just kill a man done, Hand on the pump should be next Cypress Hill reaction...
🔥🔥
The Ice cube / Cypress diss tracks are pretty cool as well!
It was all to do with Ice Cube stealing a Cypress hook for the Friday soundtrack
CH - No Rest for the Wicked

In that order.....I think, someone will correct me I'm sure.... 😅
Betttt I’ll react to them
@@StaxReacts You betttttter 😅
