Cypress Hill’s members had unparalleled chemistry, and we explore their unique alchemy as we continue our celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. It’s part two of our re-release of The Opus: Cypress Hill, which takes a look at the group’s self-titled debut, a true classic of the genre. In this episode, host Jill Hopkins explores the interplay and chemistry between the group’s members that made Cypress Hill such a compelling release.
From DJ Muggs’ sample-heavy production to B-Real’s high-pitched, nasal rap style to Sen Dog’s authoritative baritone, Cypress Hill couldn’t have been more perfectly constructed. Each member remains distinct and unique in their identity, while also managing to compliment each other to ensure the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Sen Dog, B-Real, and the legendary Chuck D of Public Enemy join Hopkins on this episode of The Opus: Cypress Hill as they dive into the heart of the hip-hop trio’s inner workings. Listen to the full episode now, and for another look into the mind of Cypress Hill, check out the 10 hip-hop albums Sen Dog thinks you should own, which you can also hear him discuss on the Consequence UNCUT podcast.
