Should Cypress Hill be considered a Classic/Legendary group?!
Question: Should Cypress Hill be considered a Classic/Legendary group!?
I mean, when you think about it, their not all that!. i was listening to some of their songs on youtube, and all they mostly talk about is weed! it's really annoying and promoting drug use!. Yes, i like some of their songs, but people tend to say their a legendary rap group, but i'm starting to disagree with that statement!. What do you think!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
Yes, but it is more due to DJ Muggs' production than anything B-Real or Sen Dog have done on the mic!. B-Real is a pretty good emcee but DJ Muggs is who really sets Cypress Hill apart!.
As much as Dr!. Dre is remembered for creating the West Coast sound, Muggs does not get nearly enough credit for his contribution!. If you listen to Dre's production sound before Cypress Hill's debut and his sound after, it's pretty hard to think that Muggs didn't have some influence on him!.
EDIT
By the way, although Cypress Hill doesn't *just* talk about weed, they do talk about it a lot!. However, it's worth noting that pretty much introduced the topic into the hip hop vernacular (whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing, there's no doubt that it's been hugely influential)!. To use Dre as an example again, this is Dre before CH debuted:
"I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or sess
Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage!."
- "Express Yourself" by NWA
This is Dre after CH debuted:
"Before I hit the dope spot
I gotta get the chronic, the Remy Martin and my soda pop
Now I'm smelling like indo-nesia!."
- "Let Me Ride" by Dr!. Dre, on an album titled The ChronicWww@Enter-QA@Com

i bet you cant write a bunch of songs about just one topic, even if the topic is as great as weed!.
DJ Muggs alone is a legend, B Real is definitely a legend!. Sen Dog and Mellow Man Ace arent quite on that "legend" level, and honestly they probably never will be!.
Which is not to say that they arent as talented as B-Real, just not as famous!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

None of their albums are classics to me!. i like them, but i don't think they are legendary or anything!. Oh, and the drug songs don't really anoy me, because most rappers tend to bring it up!. They focus on other topics too, so I don't really think that's a problem!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I never really got into them!. "Hit from the bong" was good!. And "Rock Superstar" was the **** in 3rd grade haha!.!.!.but I wouldn't really go so far as to say legendary!. I think people throw that word around too much because we're so used to seeing artists disappear after a few albums!. They've been around forever, so I think people get it confused!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I'm not personally a huge Cypress Hill fan, but I still consider them legendary because of their innovation, influence, and the cult following they've attained!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
in my eyes no, but dey were on a diff level in da west coast!. so i wouldnt wanna make a judgement on em!. plus i never got into em, i only say artist suck if i heard all their cds!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Hell yeah they are! B-Real is in my top 10 West Coast emcees ever! Their subject matter is no different to say Snoop Doggs!. DJ Muggs is one helluva producer and Sen Dog was a pretty decent hype man!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I personally don't consider them rap!. go ahead gimme a thumbs down, but i don't like the mat all to be honest!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
