Release date: 03-12-2009 (originally released in 1991) 2009 remastered limited edition 16-track LP pressed on 180gram VIRGIN VINYL, originally released in 1991 - Cypress Hill's untouchable 1991 debut album revolutionized hip-hop and introduced audiences to B-Real's high-pitched nasal flow, Sen Dog's deep toned outbursts and DJ Muggs' smokey beats. Every song is outstanding in its own right and tracks like "How I Could Just Kill A Man," "Latin Lingo" and "Hand On The Pump" are straight-up blue prints of the genre - presented in sealed & stickered picture sleeve. Tracks: 01. Pigs 02. How I Could Just Kill A Man 03. Hand On The Pump 04. Hole In The Head 05. Ultraviolet Dreams 06. Light Another 07. Phuncky Feel One 08. Break It Up 09. Real Estate 10. Stoned Is The Way Of The Walk 11. Psycobetabuckdown 12. Something For The Blunted 13. Latin Lingo 14. Funky Cypress Hill Shit 15. Tres Eqyis 16. Born To Get Busy Led by the deep-toned Sen Dog and the deliciously adenoidal whine of B-Real and backed by DJ Muggs's beats--as thick as the smoke they inhaled--Cypress Hill spun dope-fueled tales of revenge, revolution, recreational drug use, gangbanging, and cultural pride. Like R. Crumb's Mr. Natural, but with a hardened voice and a B-boy attitude, Cypress Hill slow-walked their funk-flavored way through a minefield of anthems (the still sizzling "How I Could Just Kill a Man") and comic manifestos ("Stoned Is the Way of the Walk"). Heavy on the bass line and punctuated by flashes of wit and rage, Cypress Hill's joint was definitely one to draw deep on. --Amy Linden
