Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0074645393124 Format: Explicit Lyrics Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 53931 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: July 20, 1993 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com: If a case can be made for gangsta rap, Cypress Hill is the act to make it. The trio of L.A. Latinos has the commercial clout and its raps are mercifully free of the misogyny, homophobia, and anti-Asian, anti-Jewish racism that so often mars the genre. Member/producer D.J. Muggs creates an eerily lean soundscape of whining sirens, off-kilter funk rhythms, metallic percussion, nasal taunts, and gruff warnings that's the aural equivalent of today's nerve-rattling cop flicks and mob movies. --Geoffrey Himes Album Details: Limited Digipack Release Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Insane The Membrane!!! One of the best rap albums ever made!Man I can't believe it took so a long time to buy this classic album! Cypress Hill are by far one of the best Latino rap groups to walk the face of the earth. This stuff was hot as ever back in the day, and nearly 15 years later people still ride to it. This album gives a good look at the Latino and Hispanic/gangsta lifestyle. Here's my track guide: 1. I Wanna Get H*gh / 10/10, this is real dope material that isn't made anymore! The horn at the beginning is simply entrancing. 2. ... Read More Rating: - One of the last gems in an unprogressive genreOne of the last true Rap ("Gangsta" or otherwise) albums ever made. Let's face it folks, much like Punk Rock, it now exists in name only. When you spin this album, you hear many layers of sweet sound. Among the finest of the genre, richness and funky goodness was the norm up `til the early to mid `90's when even the once mighty Cypress Hill began to fall into the rut and devolve into boring, two dimensional "Rap". The new motto basically became "Find just one simple hook and play the piss out ... Read More Rating: - The album that got me into rapOkay, so the first CD I owned with rapping on it was, technically, C+C Music Factory, but forget that. 'Black Sunday' was the album that truly got me interested in hip-hop. Like every other white boy in America, I heard 'Insane in the Brain' on the radio and was hooked. Luckily, it's just about the worst song on the album. From the siren-call that opens to the album to the syncopated beat in 'Break 'Em Off Some,' this album just doesn't quit comin' with dusty funk loops, rough-edge beats ... Read More Rating:  - Can I Get A Hit From The Bong? (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4 stars)Cypress Hill's (B-Real, Sen Dog, & DJ Muggs) second album "Black Sunday" was an excellent album, from a Latin Hip Hop group based out of Los Angeles. If you haven't already figured out, Cypress Hill mostly rhymes about getting smoked out through out their career. And those rhymes are all over this album. That mixed with DJ Muggs production really makes the vibes in this album easy to catch. I believe "Insane In The Brain" was the lead single on this album, and it's a good song. B-Real handles most of ... Read More Rating: - "Cypress Hill" Part 2Cypress Hill's second album, 1993's "Black Sunday," is another great album of funny, pro-weed paranoid lyrics from B-Real, Sen Dog and the crew, amazing beats courtesy of DJ Muggs, and just overall original and fun hip hop music. This album is very similar to their debut, "Cypress Hill," but the quality of the music is just as good, if not better in many spots, than on their debut. They went with the philosophy of if it ain't broke, don't fix it on "Black Sunday," and it works perfectly. On this album ... Read More |
