Cypress Hill - Everybody Must Get Stoned 52:04 Cypress Hill is an American hip hop group from South Gate, California. They are a hip-hop group that has sold multi-platinum and platinum albums, having sold over 20 million albums worldwide. They are considered to be among the main progenitors of West Coast and 1990s hip hop. The group has been critically acclaimed for their first five albums. All of the group members advocate for medical and recreational use of cannabis in the United States. In 2019, Cypress Hill became the first hip hop group to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Senen Reyes (also known as Sen Dog) and Ulpiano Sergio Reyes (also known as Mellow Man Ace) are brothers born in Pinar del Río, Cuba. In 1971, their family immigrated to the United States and initially lived in South Gate, California. In 1988, the two brothers teamed up with New York City native Lawrence Muggerud (also known as DJ Muggs, previously in a rap group named 7A3) and Louis Freese (also known as B-Real) to form a hip-hop group named DVX (Devastating Vocal Excellence). The band soon lost Mellow Man Ace to a solo career, and changed their name to Cypress Hill, after a street in South Gate. After recording a demo in 1989, Cypress Hill signed a record deal with Ruffhouse Records. Their self-titled first album was released in August 1991. The lead single was the double A-side “The Phuncky Feel One“/“How I Could Just Kill a Man“ which received heavy airplay on urban and college radio, most notably peaking at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Tracks chart and at #77 on the Billboard Hot 100. The other two singles released from the album were “Hand on the Pump“ and “Latin Lingo“, the latter of which combined English and Spanish lyrics, a trait that was continued throughout their career. The success of these singles led Cypress Hill to sell two million copies in the U.S. alone, and it peaked at #31 on the Billboard 200 and was certified double platinum by the RIAA. In 1992, Cypress Hill’s first contribution to a soundtrack was the song “Shoot ’Em Up“ for the movie Juice. The group made their first appearance at Lollapalooza on the side stage in 1992. It was the festival’s second year of touring, and featured a diverse lineup of acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ice Cube, Lush, Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, among others. The trio also supported the Cypress Hill album by touring with the Beastie Boys, who were touring behind their third album Check Your Head. Black Sunday, the group’s second album, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in 1993, recording the highest Soundscan for a rap group up until that time. Also, with their debut still in the charts, they became the first rap group to have two albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 at the same time. “Insane in the Brain“ became a crossover hit, peaking at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100, at #16 on the Dance Club Songs chart, and at #1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. “Insane in the Brain“ also garnered the group their first Grammy nomination. Black Sunday went triple platinum in the U.S. and sold about million copies. Cypress Hill headlined the Soul Assassins tour with House of Pain and Funkdoobiest as support, then performed on a college tour with Rage Against the Machine and Seven Year Bitch. Also in 1993, Cypress Hill had two tracks on the Judgment Night soundtrack, teaming up with Pearl Jam (without vocalist Eddie Vedder) on the track “Real Thing“ and Sonic Youth on “I Love You Mary Jane“. The soundtrack was notable for intentionally creating collaborations between the rap/hip-hop and rock/metal genres, and as a result the soundtrack peaked at #17 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA. On October 2, 1993, Cypress Hill performed on the comedy show Saturday Night Live, broadcast by NBC. Prior to their performances, studio executives, label representatives, and the group’s own associates constantly asked the trio to not smoke marijuana on-stage. DJ Muggs became irritated due to the constant inquisitions, and he subsequently lit a joint during the group’s second song. Up until that point, it was extremely uncommon to see marijuana usage on a live televised broadcast. #cypresshill #realhiphop #boombap
