So true about his VOICE. I promoted the first Cypress Hill album for Ruff House and Sony and Karen Mason. Also I watched them make their first album. Because DJ Aladdin and DJ Muggs were Roommates in Hollywood and my group Low profile was making their first album at the same time so we were one big family
Cypress Hill are legends. I remember when their first album came out and I told everybody that this shit is dope. I was in the Army and my friend was like they're wack. I knew they were legends from their first album
Thats how you know the 90s generation of rappers was still very much in tune with music and composition where as now these days everything is overcooked and synthesized.
I SAW CYPRESS HILL AT THE FIRST LALAPALOOSA IN WASHINGTON STATE. I WAS IN THE FRONT, RIGHT NEXT TO THE STAGE. B-REAL SAT ON THE EDGE BETWEEN SONGS. I HELD MY TICKET STUB UP. HE GRABBED IT AND AUTOGRAPHED IT FOR ME. THEN HE WENT BACK TO PERFORMING. IT WAS VERY GENEROUS OF HIM. I AM GLAD I GOT TO SEE CYPRESS HILL LIVE. THEY ROCKED THE CROWD. THE WHOLE AUDIENCE WAS JUMPING LIKE A TRAMPOLINE. B-REAL...CLASS ACT. CYPRESS HILL...BADASS FOREVER. YEAH...I GOT THAT AUTOGRAPH BABY...KILLER SHOW.
You must be very young. Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣 ...Go back and listen to Cypress Hill's first two albums. Go ahead youngster! ..Search RUclips right now! ..Cypress Hill probably glorified violence more than any other rap group in the history of hip hop!! ..🤣🤣🤣🤣 ...Trust me, I'm 46 years old. I loved their music when I was young, but it was violent as hell! ..😂😂😂 ..This interview was total B.S.
I’m a Chicano in TX and back then everything u saw on tv was black or white. When I was 13 I saw the Insane In The Brain video and was like whoa these are my people and have been a fan ever since. Who u tryin to get crazy with ese? Don’t u know I’m loco
Got there first cassette tape in 90. A demo with two songs I used to blast to everyone. Hits from the bong is what got me. Then insane in the brain later. Been a fan from the beginning.
They still have the best vibe to get stoned and drive around with your friends, the music just feels perfect and not too absorbing. You can just talk for hours and then go silent for a minute because everyone's head is processing the lyrics
4th album really took the cake for me. That jawn was extra hard and grimy. Prelude to a come up....Magnolia...eyes of a pig..clash of the titans. Feels like yesterday when i bought the cassette. I dont throw the term legends around loosely like most now a days. But cypress is mos def legendary.
Man I absolutely love Hip Hop. To see it from the beginning to what it has evolved into today is amazing. The legends of hip hop who are still going doing what they love. ❤❤❤
I met B real at a Super Bowl party in 1990 on Dorothy st in South Gate he was unknown to the Rap world at this time. He told us he was in a group with Mellow Man Aces brother and that they were flying to Philadelphia after the Super Bowl to record an album. And the rest is history.
The movie "Judgement Night" had a great Soundtrack that experimented with mixing music of different types. Cypress Hill has some great songs on it. The OST outshines the movie.
I remember seeing their ads in The Source and on posters in NYC for their first album when I was in high school. They were DIFFERENT and intriguing because they were never facing the cameras or even posing, for that matter. The pics were more like spy photos, randomly catching them doing whatever. I thought it was a dope concept. Then one day in a somewhat local but not THAT local record store my friends and we used to love driving to if we could get one of our parents' cars, which was usually one of mine, and they had a sale section and I seen their tape. I WANTED it, even tho I heard none of their songs nor did they have a vid out yet but Ed OG and Da Bulldogs' tape was in that section, too, but they had that banger, "I Got To Have It" which me and boys loved. Both tapes were $5, and Cypress Hills' tape case had a perfectly drilled lil hole in it that kinda bothered me because I never seen that before, ibut I didn't have enough for both. Sadly, I got what I knew, Ed n 'nem. Lol. WOW what. HUGE regret. Only joint was that song, which I already had the max-single of. What made matters worse was when Cypress dropped vids. Their first one, "The Phuncky Feel One" didn't move me that much but then the "How I Could..." vid dropped got me and my friends, HARD! I could go on and on but I kept bringing up how I originally had the album for $5 because I paid more by the time I actually got it. Lol. To this day, I keep most the cuts from that album on rotation in my phone.
Cypress Hill is the Def Leopard of rock. No one sounds like them. There's so many unanswered questions about the both of them on how they made their sounds.
Would love to hear him rap with his regular voice. He supposedly did on Cypress' first demo. Not sure if that's the one we can see on RUclips, like bootleg versions of it. I skimmed through it and couldn't really tell the difference, lol.
I have loved Cypresshill since 1995. I’m sure I remember B-real saying on an interview that his singing voice is his natural singing voice and that’s just what he sounds like 🤔
The Latino hip-hop before them was very gimmicky. Cypress Hill put it down correctly! I was happy for our Latino brothers and sisters to finally be able to do *their* thing in hip-hop!
B Real has the most unique sound in hiphop. Nobody else will ever sound like him & he definitely sounds like nobody. That's what I miss about hiphop now when people had their own unique sound & I remember all rapper had to have their own sound because you would never make it if you sound like another rapper. Nowadays everyone sound the same
Man, as a fan of the same age, CH was a fave of mine. Always appreciated the art of the story. You guys are still doing it. Love Prophets of Rage as well. Keep going bro.
I'm glad there's some people out there who do not want to glorify gangs or the violence cuz too many young people think it's a cool way of life and then end up losing their life over something stupid and Petty in the pain that goes with it is not necessary and their families suffer for their decision thank you for not glorifying it
Man.... I miss that Soul Assassins Radio in L.A....I.E....O.C... Ruthless Radio and Soul Assassins Radio.... Were the Best Radio shows EVER! They'll never make anything Comparable to those shows.
Fun fact: Apparently there is a place in Alberta near MEDICINE HAT - get it? Medicine Hat? lol - called Cypress Hill. Thank you for sharing this interview. I'm a big fan. PEACE.
What's funny is that Andre 3000 said the opposite thing, that you shouldn't rap when you're old, it's a young man's game. And while he is one of my favorite rappers of all time, i do side with B-Real on this. Just like any music, do it as long as you want to. Come on, look at The Rolling Stones. Also music helps to keep you young.
Ruby Dee the fantastic five with DJ caz, first Puerto Rican MC Ruby D, also Whipple whip Puerto Rican MC... Charlie Chase first DJ Hispanic played along with the furious 5 for short while I remember I was there...
B Real have unique voice in hip hop , but not only him . Never forget Redman , Das Efx , DMX , Inspectah Deck , RZA , Kool Shen , Busta Rhymes , KRS One .....
Gang bangers belong in Jail, not making millions of dollars! How did he pay for Studio time to record demo? Gang banging, selling crack, robbing people!
B-Real es una inspiración para todos nosotros los Latinos en estados unidos de que si se puede de que si nos ayudamos como raza Latina sin importar el pais podemos mandar un ejemplo de unión y prosperidad 💯✌✌🙌
B real has imo the most recognizable voice in rap history.. You could hear just a couple words from a verse and immediately know who it is

Same here. I binge it all the time, still to this day. Perfection
Fk I'm old if this is on AARP
AARP and Cypress Hill are not words I ever thought I would see together.
I didn't even see the AARP until your comment. Wtf? Yeah, this is bizarre. Haha
Exactly what I was thinking.
John Rice fuuuuuuuuuck that ruined my day

the story of his rapping voice is so cool lol - i can't believe he had an opera singer givin him tips

When my heavy metal lovers friends heard B-real for the first time they said this guy's voice is crazy cool
Being 12 years old...hearing his voice and the beats of the music..💪
Temples of Boom was a CD that I bought when it came out and added to my collection of sick metal CDs.
It's sad that not everyone in Rap doesn't get that, about not glorifying the crime they rap about. This is the true essence of art.

people that actually smoke weed dont act like that.
just the perception of people who are unaware.

Son Doobs one of the most underrated of all time
Great interview.
been jammin cypress hill forever, never knew B Real got opera lessons to rap better. That’s sick
