"Most people agree that this was Type O's masterpiece.

Very much an album about weekend drug taking and small town fun.The Fuzzy guitars help set the tone. They h..." [+] Reply

"This is hip hop at its finest. Every song has good vibes, great flows, and catchy hooks with great guest vocals and MCs.

"Kudos to Cypress Hill. They had a complete original sound of their own with this debut album. Fantastic grooves with a slight heavy overtone. How can you not love it? How can you not groove to it? Top class." Reply
