    The first thing I noticed as Cypress Hill strolled into NPR headquarters was Sen Dog cradling his signature bucket hat. I asked him if my assumptions were correct; it was indeed the original hat seen in all the videos from the early '90s. Before I could process that confirmation, B Real asked me, "Yo, is your greenroom a greenroom?" We got everything we expected and more from Cypress Hill at the Tiny Desk.
    While the term "pioneer" is used loosely in pop culture today, few terms describe Cypress Hill's impact over the past three decades more adequately. They are the first Latino hip-hop group to achieve platinum and multi-platinum status. B Real, Sen and producer DJ Muggs crafted a sound in the '90s that stretched beyond regional boundaries. It was dark, psychedelic and at times directly addressed mental health before the topic was commonplace. Many dismissed the group as "stoner rappers," yet the members were fervent advocates for the legalization of weed long before it came to fruition.
    Touring members Eric Bobo and DJ Lord joined the duo along with Money Mark from Beastie Boys fame. The band summoned a horn section to fill out this rare minimalist approach to five, funky Cypress Hill things. Between each song, B Real took his time to shed some historic light on the group's journey thus far.

    As a teenager in 90s I was into grunge and metal. One day I was in a bootleg store and I saw cool looking Cypress Hill tape, cover printed in b&w. Some hardcore I thought. Came back home, played it and I was so confused for a minute. Two maybe. And I just loved it. Decades passed and I get goosebumps from their show at Tiny Desk.

    • @lucasperkins4342
      @lucasperkins4342 Před 9 měsíci +17

I listend to hip hop all of my juvinile life and alot of my adult life but NPR you was suppose to be better. You was suppose to be the one who called out what the music does to my black community. And just like The History Channel and The Discovery channel did back inthe 90s its sad to say you put a price tag on your integrity for clicks.
