Sealed 2022 Repress Of The 2017 180gm Reissue, With Updated Hype Sticker. The Seminal Debut Album From The West Coast Natives. "It's Hard Enough To Transform An Entire Musical Genre -- Cypress Hill's Eponymous Debut Album Revolutionized Hip-Hop In Several Respects. Although They Weren't The First Latino Rappers, Nor The First To Mix Spanish And English, They Were The First To Achieve A Substantial Following, Thanks To Their Highly Distinctive Sound. Along With Beastie Boys And Public Enemy, Cypress Hill Were Also One Of The First Rap Groups To Bridge The Gap With Fans Of Both Hard Rock And Alternative Rock. And, Most Importantly, They Created A Sonic Blueprint That Would Become One Of The Most Widely Copied In Hip-Hop. In Keeping With Their Promarijuana Stance, Cypress Hill Intentionally Crafted Their Music To Sound Stoned -- Lots Of Slow, Lazy Beats, Fat Bass, Weird Noises, And Creepily Distant-sounding Samples. The Surreal Lyrical Narratives Were Almost Exclusively Spun By B Real In A Nasal, Singsong, Instantly Recognizable Delivery That Only Added To The Music's Hazy, Evocative Atmosphere; As A Frontman, He Could Be Funny, Frightening, Or Just Plain Bizarre (Again, Kind Of Like The Experience Of Being Stoned). Whether He's Taunting Cops Or Singing Nursery Rhyme-Like Choruses About Blasting Holes In People With Shotguns, B Real's Blunted-Gangsta Posture Is Nearly Always Underpinned By A Cartoonish Sense Of Humor. It's Never Clear How Serious The Threats Are, But That Actually Makes Them All The More Menacing. The Sound And Style Of Cypress Hill Was Hugely Influential, Particularly On Dr. Dre's Boundary-Shattering 1992 Blockbuster The Chronic; Yet Despite Its Legions Of Imitators, Cypress Hill Still Sounds Fresh And Original Today, Simply Because Few Hip-Hop Artists Can Put Its Sound Across With Such Force Of Personality Or Imagination."

III - Temples Of Boom
New Import - 88985434411
Sealed 2023 EU reissue. No hype sticker. "Cypress Hill didn't exactly push themselves after they revolutionized hip-hop with their first album, 1991's Cypress Hill. Black Sunday, their 1993 follow-up, was a virtual reproduction of their debut, albeit with a harder stance and an increased pop sensibility. On Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom, the group pushes forward somewhat, but with mixed results. Nothing on the album is as immediately catchy as "Insane in the Brain" or "How I Could Just Kill a Man," but Cypress Hill do open up their sound a bit, experimenting with jazz-inflected grooves, in particular, as well as soul. Even with the new musical flourishes, the essential core of the band's sound hasn't changed at all, which is slightly disappointing. Certainly, Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom is an excellently produced record, filled with sonic details that most hip-hop records of the mid-'90s are missing, but the musical content frequently doesn't quite match the production skills. Cypress Hill manages to keep a consistent mood throughout the record, and several tracks showcase the trio at their best, but Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom suggests that they are running out of things to say and ways to say them."
