Cypress Hill Prepare to Host Smokeout

When Cypress Hill released Black Sunday on July 30, 1993, the album catapulted the Los Angeles rappers to hip-hop stardom and anointed frontman B-Real and his boys, Sen Dog and D.J. Muggs, as marijuana champions. Mind-bending songs like “I Wanna Get High,” “Hits from the Bong” and “Legalize It” sparked a reefer revolution that would’ve made stoners Cheech & Chong proud. And while pot has made its way into the mainstream since those heady days, its use continues to be illegal under federal law.

You can still get high (um, naturally, of course) at the Cypress Hill Smokeout on October 23 and 24 at the San Manuel Amphitheatre in San Bernardino, California. The multi-stage event will feature performances by Sublime, Geto Boys, Goodie Mob, Method Man & Redman, Afrika Bambaataa, Slipknot and other acts—all in the name of cannibis legalization. But the highlight of the show will arguably be headliners Cypress Hill, who will perform all 14 tracks from Black Sunday and plan to unveil material from their upcoming album, Rise Up, which Sen Dog has described as “definitely hard-core hip-hop.” Needless to say, prepare to go “insane in the brain.”
