Named After Cypress Avenue In South Gate, California

Bringing a week a post titles tenuously linked by place names, Cypress Hill are the logical conclusion.

 

Before you read this, pop over to No Badger Required (as long as you promise to come back) and read a post from a few weeks ago. Cypress Hill's second album Black Sunday features in the ongoing Nearly Perfect Albums series and SWC makes a compelling case for it's impact and enduring influence. It's a fabulous read (no surprise there, as NBR is a fabulous read on a daily basis).

 

I had a few Cypress Hill EPs and random tracks in my collection but it's only been in the last decade or so that I've started delving a little more into their back catalogue, which has been a rewarding experience, to say the least. 

This brief selection leans heavily on tracks and remixes from the first three albums circa 1991 to 1995, plus a trio of cuts from the 21st century. I must give the obligatory cuss caution, due to the habitual and casual effing and jeffing throughout. If you can handle that, then you are in for a sonic and lyrical treat.
