Led by B-Real with his nasal, singsong delivery and Sen Dog to play the perfect hypeman, Cypress debut fueled tales of revenge, revolution, recreational drug use, gangbanging, and cultural pride. Like Public Enemy before them the Production was also a key factor in what made this debut so groundbreaking. DJ Muggs was able to craft a blueprint that would change Hip Hop production with his innovative stoned out beats. Records like How I Could Just Kill a Man, Pigs, Stoned is the Way of the Walk and Hand on the Pump made this album the instant classic that it is. Since its release, the album has won acclaim as one of Rolling Stones Essential Recordings of the 90s and Top 100 Best Rap Albums by The Source magazine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Pigs\u003cbr\u003eA2 How I Could Just Kill A Man\u003cbr\u003eA3 Hand On The Pump\u003cbr\u003eA4 Hole In The Head\u003cbr\u003eA5 Ultraviolet Dreams\u003cbr\u003eA6 Light Another\u003cbr\u003eA7 The Phuncky Feel One\u003cbr\u003eA8 Break It Up\u003cbr\u003eB1 Real Estate\u003cbr\u003eB2 Stoned Is The Way Of The Walk\u003cbr\u003eB3 Psycobetabuckdown\u003cbr\u003eB4 Something For The Blunted\u003cbr\u003eB5 Latin Lingo\u003cbr\u003eB6 The Funky Cypress Hill Shit\u003cbr\u003eB7 Tres Equis\u003cbr\u003eB8 Born To Get Busy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cypress Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1733555748879,"sku":"ZZ-GET51293-LP","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/CypressHillcopy_0e65838c-fc10-41cf-bf33-4081ced50000.jpg?v=1589405839"},{"product_id":"hell-hath-no-fury-white-lp","title":"Hell Hath No Fury (White LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 4 years after The Clipse dropped their sophomore classic Lord Willin the duo was able to build a legacy that had fans hungry for new material.

In the face of the ever-worsening status quo of watered-down and vapid radio rap songs, the call for something real has only gotten stronger, and once again the time is right for a call to action – for someone or something to come in and send wack rappers running for the hills in fear. Enter CZARFACE, the upcoming, uncompromising full-length album from Inspectah Deck and 7L \u0026amp; Esoteric.

From Premier's masterful N.Y State Of Mind to the AZ assisted Life's A Bitch and Pete Rocks piano laced The World Is Yours Illmatic starts out with a powerful trio of songs that easily could solidify this album as classic if it stopped right there. Other tracks such as Memory Lane and One Love show Nas focusing on his neighborhood and local legends that really molded him into the person he was which made them all just as important to us. Large Professor delivers the album's first single It Aint Hard To Tell while Premier delivers the album's certified street anthem Represent. Serious to a fault, and lyrically dense to the extent that has possibly never been matched, the 20-year old Nas stood on the shoulders of his predecessors and made them proud with this one.

When soon-to-be-renowned Boston hip-hop duo 7L \u0026amp; Esoteric collaborated with the Wu-Tang Clans Inspectah Deck on the title track to 7LESs debut EP Speaking Real Words in 1999, the timing was perfect. The upstart duo was building a serious buzz on the East Coast and beyond, while Deck was still winning praise for his gold-selling solo disc Uncontrolled Substance. As flashy pop-oriented rap was pumped on commercial radio stations, their natural chemistry and simpatico skills shone as a beacon to real hip-hop fans, a base of listeners who were soon asking about their next musical summit. 14 years later, the hunger for sharp lyrics and head-snapping beats hasnt dissipated. In the face of the ever-worsening status quo of watered-down and vapid radio rap songs, the call for something real has only gotten stronger, and once again the time is right for a call to action – for someone or something to come in and send wack rappers running for the hills in fear. Enter CZARFACE, the upcoming, uncompromising full-length album from Inspectah Deck and 7L \u0026amp; Esoteric. Not surprising, respect for real hip-hop runs deep, and CZARFACE brings an army with it - consider the star-studded guest list which includes Roc Marciano, Action Bronson, Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks,)Oh No (Gangrene,) Mr. MFN eXquire and Decks fellow Wu-Tang Clansmen Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna.

But this was a good thing – using major label muscle to wake up righteous hip-hop fans who might have fallen asleep at the wheel.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The group itself – consisting of MCs stic.man and M-1, who produced or co-produced most of the duo's music – was formed in Tallahassee, Florida in the early 1990s (M-1 originally hailed from Brooklyn). By later that decade, the duo had started making significant waves, having their music heard on the soundtracks to Soul In The Hole and Slam, as well as appearing on albums by Big Pun and The Beatnuts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By 1998, they released their first official single, the serious, stark Police State, on Loud, appropriately brought to the label by Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian. After building a solid rep over the next two years with fiery live performances, in 2000 they unleashed their debut album, Let's Get Free.

But the singles weren't the only worthy songs, as just about every cut here has deeper meaning than most full albums by their early 2000s peers.

During this time Marvel Comics had reached out to Czarface wanting some music to soundtrack their Black Panther web series, promoting their breakout comic of the same name. This Marvel meeting spawned the lead track All in Together Now and served as the primary inspiration for a fleshed-out album that nobody saw coming. The group camped out in the studio playing beats, talking comics, video games, and pop culture....what came about was A Fistful of Peril.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Starting the album off with the ARP keyboard odyssey of Electric Level 1 is like entering the vortex of color and light in Kubricks 2001. The aptly titled Two in the Chest showcases Deck \u0026amp; Esos ability to deliver punchlines and pop culture references with ease over an exceptional bass and guitar combo. Czar Wars has the two sparring back and forth bringing that X-Men\/Danger Room mentality that Deck often to refers to when in Czar-mode. Psycho Les of The Beatnuts steps in on Dust while Lizard City introduces Czarface Pajamas. Yes you read that correctly. The off-kilter Steranko has Meyhem Lauren and Rast join forces with Czarface as they weave their way through a mind-bending array of varying beats. Other features on the album are Conway on Machine, Man \u0026amp; Monster and AOTPs Blacastan on Tarantulas. Another one of the albums highlights is Dare Iz A Darkseid which along with Talk That Talk is the perfect balance of wit and humor that make up the core of Czarface.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Building on an already rock solid foundation with two critically acclaimed albums, A Fistful of Peril features some of the groups most cohesive material.

After an extended stint as the house band at Tijuana strip joint Fantasitas, Los Dug Dugs relocated to Mexico City in 1966.

Upon returning to Tijuana in 1968, Los Dug Dugs took up residence at the popular Sans Sous Ci club. An American tourist was so impressed that he offered to bankroll a trip for the band to New York City. The group played a handful of live dates and recorded a few demos, but having no money to pay the union fees necessary to earn them the opportunity to play NYCs larger venues left them with little choice but to return to Mexico. Los Dug Dugs immediately began work on their first LP for RCA Mexico, little knowing at the time that it would become a classic of psychedelia.

With his profane, controversial material, and frequently taboo stories surrounding his famed pimp character Dolemite, Moore commanded a cult-fanbase throughout the decade, remained a star of blaxploitation films of the era, and was a strong influence on rap stars such as Snoop Dogg, Big Daddy Kane, and 2 Live Crew. His party records were considered too vulgar to be displayed in record shops, but word of mouth made his albums the stuff of legends.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Though Rudy Ray Moore was widely known for his provocative stand-up, less is known about his musical side. Though he found success as a comedian he had always wanted to be a famous singer, and deeply loved to perform music. (His stand-up shows regularly featured a backing band, providing his monologues a backdrop of jazz and R\u0026amp;B music.) In 1972, as his comedy career was booming with cult-popularity, Moore released The Turning Point, and fans were treated to the raunchy raconteurs previously unheard croon.

Jazz, blues, R\u0026amp;B, soul, hip-hop, house, gospel. One influential genre is always left off of the list: a folk music known as rock n roll. Rock n roll was a term originally coined to market the white-friendly version of a genre that already existed; prior to 1965, the line between rock n roll and R\u0026amp;B was thin: Ike Turner recorded and released Rocket 88 in 1951 and, while its Chess Records release reached number one on the Billboard R\u0026amp;B chart, it is regarded by many as the first rock n roll record.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Great Divide between R\u0026amp;B and rock n roll came after the Beatles and the British Invasion decimated the Top 40 chart in 1964. Simultaneously, R\u0026amp;B entered a new phase, soon to be labeled soul, which upped the musics gospel quotient and turned its frantic twang. So somewhere in the mid to late-1960s, rock n roll became perceived as something for the Caucasian kids. When Jimi Hendrix and Arthur Lee made the scene, they were said to be black musicians entering into a white world. While that couldnt be farther from the truth, that false dichotomy has existed in Americas popular conscious ever since, to the point where the idea of a black rock musician is on the level with the idea of a black cowboy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In the mid-1960s, funk replaced soul as the rhythm that was going to move the world. We know all its progenitor - James Brown, The Meters, Kool \u0026amp; The Gang - and their innovations: the syncopated, 4\/4 dance between the bass and drums, horns repurposed as percussion, chicken-scratch and wah-wah guitar. We can trace where they came from. But there is one crucial funk influence that no one seems to want to acknowledge – a devil-may-care attitude we can attribute to rock n roll. Its not a stretch to say that funk is the African-American answer to psychedelia and hard rock rolled into one.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The idea of progressivism that took over rock music after psychedelias heyday in the late 1960s belatedly spilled over to funk. In the early 1970s, as the underground\/psychedelic fire burnt out in the white rock world, it roared to a blaze in the black musical community. Nearly every American city with a large black population boasted self-contained funk bands that didnt consider themselves simply revues or backup groups, but rather fully-operational ensembles In these bands, everything from composing, arranging, record production and distribution, was handled in house by band members. These are the bands whose music comprises this anthology, and while theyre all different, theyre unique in one way: they kept their ears open for new developments in funk and rock music.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This anthology presents earnest questions as to why we know so little about these bands and the movement of which they were a part. While we dont anticipate that well ever find a definitive answer as to what these ensembles true goals were, then, we do know that they took their charges seriously. And they knew they were onto something different, something that, though only they and their immediate kin might recognize it, was more interesting than the status quo. Function Underground shines light on an important and overlooked part of rock n rolls history and talented ensembles that toiled in the shadows, derided by their peers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Do you realize that Hendrix was dead before most black people in America knew he was a black man? Ebony Rhythm Band drummer Matthew Watson questions rhetorically. We was scorned. In that era, everybody else in the black community was wearing three-piece suits, processes and Afro wigs and that shit. We was the first guys to wear bell bottoms. The first guys to wear big hats. We were off into a whole other thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 1984– There's A Wrinkle In Our Time\u003cbr\u003eA2 Purple Snow– Down By The River\u003cbr\u003eA3 Jimi Macon*– Jimi's Guitar Raps With The Bass\u003cbr\u003eA4 Creations Unlimited– Corruption Is The Thing\u003cbr\u003eA5 We The People)– Function Underground\u003cbr\u003eA6 Michael Liggins And The Super Souls– Loaded Back\u003cbr\u003eA7 Stone Coal White– Stone Coal White\u003cbr\u003eB1 Black Lites– BL Movement\u003cbr\u003eB2 Ebony Rhythm Band– Drugs Ain't Cool\u003cbr\u003eB3 Cisneros And Garza Group– I'm A Man\u003cbr\u003eB4 L.A.
