Cypress
Hill
Album : Till
Death Do Us Part
Release Date : March 23, 2004
Label : Sony
Review :
Never mind the fact that Cypress Hill’s 15 minutes of fame expired around 10
ganja-fueled years ago—Till Death Do Us Part is a solid release from a crew
who’ve largely been written off as a cartoonish novelty act. The South Central
cartel has given its signature sound a much-needed overhaul : B-Real has smoothed
his trademark nasal whine into a more measured flow that complements DJ Muggs’s
rejuvenated sound. The underrated producer wisely eschews the rap-metal formula
that has made Cypress Hill such frat-boy favorites and instead infuses their
seventh studio album with a combination of sinister hip-hop beats, sweet Latin
brass, and pure, unadulterated reggae. Inspired guest appearances add flavor
as well, most notably by Puerto Rican reggaeton don Tego Calderon, who turns
the Alchemist-produced "Latin Thugs" into a Spanish hip-hop classic.
Despite the revamp, Cypress Hill retains their love of weed and wacky sense
of humor, both of which figure heavily in tunes like the Beastie Boys-inspired
"Busted in the Hood."
