(April 2022) Episode 400 is CYPRESS HILL. An essential and foundational rap group, particularly for cross-over appeal. Their first two albums are a lot of fun: super funky and smothered in pot-hazed humor. I credit them for continuing to innovate over the years by integrating rap metal, rock, Latin beats, Indian music, etc. But it’s also a reminder, for me, that I’m just not into rap music.
Favorite album: Black Sunday
Favorite song: The Phuncky Feel One
Compared to expectations: same
Recommendation: it’s worth a toke for casual rap fans, and a bowl for the committed
