Dem Vinyl Boyz EP 129 - Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill 1991


Listen Later

In this smoke-filled episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we fire up Cypress Hill’s trailblazing 1991 self-titled debut album—an underground masterpiece that redefined West Coast hip-hop with a grimy, stoned-out edge and a sound like no other. This wasn’t just a rap album—it was a cultural shift, fusing Latin roots, hazy production, and aggressive bars into a revolutionary new wave of hip-hop.

With iconic tracks like "How I Could Just Kill a Man," "Hand on the Pump," "Latin Lingo," and "The Phuncky Feel One," Cypress Hill introduced the world to their hypnotic production (courtesy of DJ Muggs), the high-pitched, instantly recognizable flow of B-Real, and the gravelly counterbalance of Sen Dog. Their unapologetic embrace of cannabis culture, social frustration, and street narratives made them standouts in the early '90s rap scene.

In this episode, we explore the album’s gritty soundscapes, its bold cultural identity, and how it paved the way for future genre-blending artists. From the smoky clubs of L.A. to global influence, Cypress Hill's debut left a massive, green-tinged footprint on the game.

Join Dem Vinyl Boyz as we go track by track through Cypress Hill (1991), an album that lit the match for a new kind of West Coast sound—and never stopped burning.
