Music : Black Sundayby: Cypress Hill
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: If a case can be made for gangsta rap, Cypress Hill is the act to make it. The trio of L.A. Latinos has the commercial clout and its raps are mercifully free of the misogyny, homophobia, and anti-Asian, anti-Jewish racism that so often mars the genre. Member/producer D.J. Muggs creates an eerily lean soundscape of whining sirens, off-kilter funk rhythms, metallic percussion, nasal taunts, and gruff warnings that's the aural equivalent of today's nerve-rattling cop flicks and mob movies. --Geoffrey Himes Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - A HIP HOP CLASSICBlack Sunday made Cypress Hill's connection to rock & roll more explicit, with its heavy metal-like artwork and noisier, more dissonant samples (including, naturally, stoner icons Black Sabbath). It's a slightly darker affair than its groundbreaking predecessor, with the threats of violence more urgent and the pot obsession played to the hilt (after all, it was a crucial part of their widespread appeal).

Read More Rating: - Such a CLASSICWell, you can't have a list of all time great hip-hop albums without having Black Sunday somewhere near the very top. This Album sucked my generation into hip-hop. Cypress Hill and The Wu drew in a generation of white middle and lower class kids with music that wasn't our own, but which felt so fresh, and daring and cool. I loved this album from the moment I brought it. I loved it even more when my Dad threw it out in disgust. But looking back, this album was a musical master-peice.

Black Sunday is a unique and innovative masterpiece, a diamond brick in the hip hop wall of fame. I've been pretty bored with the crap being released at the moment (fiddy cent I'm looking at you) so buying this 90's slice of sheer rawness has restored my faith in hip hop. In the words of uncle Howie* it "takes you wherever you wanna go", the atmospheric and frankly stunning samples drawing you into the world of ...
