Tonight Tonight in Music: B-Real
Posted by Megan Seling on Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 9:00 AM
B Real ft. Sick Jacken - "Psycho Realm Revolution"
B-Real, Bizzy Bone
(Studio Seven) B-Real of Cypress Hill is a hiphop legend. The trio he formed with Sen Dog and DJ Muggs in the late '80s was absolutely original. It was a singular event that seemingly came out of nowhere. Where did B-Real's nasal form of rapping originate? And no one else in the industry was blending gangster themes with experimental boom-bap (Mobb Deep would follow this path). Then came "Insane in the Brain," which connected the violent energy of death rock with the violent energy of gang banging. Cypress Hill, the first Latino crew to go big, also helped transform weed smoking into a hiphop practice. CHARLES MUDEDE
