Their self titled debut is one of my favorite albums of all time. It is criminally underrated when discussing classics albums.

To me they got gradually worse, Black Sunday and Temples Of Boom were 4.5/5 and IV was their last good effort. The rest I didn't really feel once they mixed their music with rock.

They are rarely brought up in great rap group on the west coast discussion let alone hip hop in general. I am a HUGE Cypress Hill fan and yeah the last couple of albums have not been up to par with their earlier stuff. But I like Till Death Do Us Part so if they do another album hopefully it will be straight hip hop.

I really like Temples of Boom. I guess it has a pretty different style but I thought it was for the better. Real dark and shit. They sold out about as much as anyone though... releasing the same track twice one rock superstar and one rap? i think it's because for some reason old white guys who like rock have liked them for some reason but that doesn't make them rock.

My favorite track by them is the roll it up light it up smoke it up off friday. that tracks amazing 8).

Some of their rock shit was cool but I could not get into it. It worked at the time on Skull & Bones as far as commerical success but they lost alot of hip hop heads around this time though. Some of there tracks on Black Sunday had a little bit of a alternative/rock feel to them but their hip hop shit in its prime you could not fuck with.

it sucks, I own all of them except Temple of Boom, and after I heard it, I think it's by far the best. Loved Cypress Hill, and Black Sunday had some classic singles, 4 was all good but had a sort of, we put no effort 'cause we are high feel, Skull and Crossbones was them being crazy, Stone Raiders was them sounding too old, but Temple of Boom was their best CD overall. Black Sunday had better singles, no questions, and Cypress Hill they sounded raw and ready to take over the industry, but Temple of Boom was just the magic you only get for MAYBE one album, and they had it on that one.

Sounded like they got burned out on most of their later albums. I am sure with all the work Muggs did for House Of Pain, Cypress and Funkdoobiest and everyone else in the industry it started to wear on him musically, but the last couple of years I have really digged what he has brought production wise to GZA, Mitchy Slick and others. B-Real was always a underrated rapper to me and he actually got better with time. Sen Dog is Sen, more of a hype man that will drop some nice lines here and there. Soul Assassins was always my favorite hip hop crew along with DPGC when they dropped. I would like to see another Cypress album, but they need to take they time and reinvent they sound like they did on Temples Of Boom.

"Black Sunday" or "IV"
"Hip Hop was better off when it was just Dre, Scarface, and Esco"

I never liked Black Sunday that much and I couldn't exactly tell why either. I mean I liked it but I like Cypress Hill and Temples of Boom better. Guess the samples and shit just weren't my kinda sample.

i dont think i ever heard more then a couple singles of their rock shit. is it like rock samples or like original rock shit.

There was talk about B-Real taking Zach's spot in Rage Against The Machine after he left when they were heavy into that kind of music but it did not happen.

I would have to look at the credits but they brought in a guitarist from another rock group that did most of it, I just don't remember what group he was from or his name.

The first 3 albums are the only ones that matter to me, the latter ones were kinda. . .eh. But of those three, I think Black Sunday takes the cake. But just barely.
