Pabst Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Might not go down to well here, but Palace -> peso -> bass from livelove asap is a contender Good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin M Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Bit obvious but Bring Da Ruckus - Shame on a Nigga - Clan In da Front, is up there. I'd still plump for Follow The Leader though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Also love for Pigs - How I Could Just Kill A Man - Hand On The Pump First Cypress Hill album was a shock to the system, think it gets overlooked sometimes how fresh that seemed at the time.

Boostin' Kev Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's their best album imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can vividly remember The Phuncky Feel One coming on Yo! MTV Raps and thinking "Woah, who the f**k are these guys?". Great era that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabst Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yep, Cypress HIll were great in the early years. Weird to think how from around '91-'95, DJ Muggs was frequently mentioned in the very top bracket of hip-hop producers, alongside the likes of Premier, Marley Marl, Dre, Pete Rock, RZA etc. He's never mentioned at all these days....

Boostin' Kev Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 He was good just hasnt had the volume of work that the above mentioned have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Muggs is often overlooked, did some great work with Funkdoobiest and House of Pain too. His style is as distinctive as any of the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Muggs is often overlooked, did some great work with Funkdoobiest and House of Pain too. His style is as distinctive as any of the big boys. Agreed. Love the first Cypress Hill album. Vague memories of Cypress and HoP playing the Barras early 90s. Think Cypress were headlining.

jagfox Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I loved Black Sunday. I think I forgot to vote it. Would/ should have been in my top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Agreed. Love the first Cypress Hill album. Vague memories of Cypress and HoP playing the Barras early 90s. Think Cypress were headlining. That gig was absolutely bouncing. The only downside was when Everlast felt the need to continue with his fake Irish gimmick by pulling out a Celtic scarf much to the delight of the plastics in the crowd but not quite so much to the bemused remainder of the audience. Funkdoobiest made my top 10 but it's looking like they're not getting a look in. How can you not vote for a group who produce genius lyrics like "I'm iller than a porno, I got skills like Zorro, Who's Perry Como?, tomorrow tomorrow" or "I'm guilty your honour, I rock like Nirvana, So f**k a piranha, cos like Jeffrey Dahmer, I slice 'em, dice 'em, MCs ice 'em, yo step to the Son and I'll f**k you guys up"? Sheer unadulterated genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Cypress Hill/Cypress Hill was somewhere in my top 10. I remember being blow away hearing How I Could Just Kill A Man on Pete Tong's old rap show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
