0x1900 000000 80 0 0

Ce Classic Shit sorti le 13 AoĂ»t 1991, est le premier d’une longue sĂ©rie pour le groupe originaire de Los Angeles, Californie, terre du son West Coast et des prĂ©mices du gangsta rap.

Le groupe, composĂ© de B-Real, Sen Dog, Eric Bobo et de leur dj : DJ Muggs (ce dernier ayant produit entiĂšrement l’album), offre en 91 un projet aux sonoritĂ©s atmosphĂ©riques et planantes, mĂȘme si elles ne le sont Ă  l’époque pas autant que les albums qui suivront. Mais on ressent dĂ©jĂ  les prequels de ce que sera la marque de fabrique du groupe : des instrus envoĂ»tantes, imbibĂ©es de fumĂ©es Ă©paisses de blunts de chronic et des lyrics qui dĂ©peignent la rĂ©alitĂ© de leur quotidien. La chanson “How I Could Just Kill A Man” en est un exemple, oĂč B-Real devient un agresseur face Ă  tous ceux qui lui ont causĂ© du tort.

Ils prĂŽnent aussi les bienfaits de la marijuana et dĂ©fendent sa lĂ©galisation dans les autres morceaux (en 1991, le cannabis n’était pas encore autorisĂ© comme c’est le cas maintenant dans la plupart des Ă©tats du pays), l’album se classera 4Ăšme au top R&B / HIP-HOP et 31Ăšme au BillBoard 200 et le magazine The Source l’a inclus dans sa liste des 100 meilleurs albums rap de tous les temps, et est depuis multiple disques de platines.

CYPRESS HILL est l’un des premiers groupe latino de rap Ă  obtenir de telles rĂ©compenses et avoir un tel succĂšs Ă  cet Ă©poque.  N’hĂ©sitez pas Ă  aller checker les autres albums du groupe, ça vaut amplement le dĂ©tour !

This Classic Shit, released on August 13, 1991, is the first of a long series for the group from Los Angeles, California, the birthplace of West Coast sound and the beginnings of gangsta rap.

The group, consisting of B-Real, Sen Dog, Eric Bobo, and their DJ: DJ Muggs (who produced the entire album), offered in ’91 a project with atmospheric and dreamy sounds, although they were not as prevalent at the time as the albums that would follow. However, you can already feel the prequels of what would become the group’s trademark: enchanting instrumentals, enveloped in the thick smoke of chronic blunts, and lyrics that depict the reality of their daily lives. The song “How I Could Just Kill A Man” is an example, where B-Real becomes an aggressor against all those who have wronged him.

They also advocate for the benefits of marijuana and support its legalization in other tracks (in 1991, cannabis was not yet legal as it is now in most states of the country). The album ranked 4th on the R&B / HIP-HOP chart and 31st on the Billboard 200, and the magazine The Source included it in its list of the 100 greatest rap albums of all time, and it has since achieved multiple platinum records.

CYPRESS HILL is one of the first Latin rap groups to receive such awards and achieve such success at that time. Feel free to check out the group’s other albums; they’re definitely worth the detour!
