Rewind: Cypress Hill 'Black Sunday' (Part 2)



Welcome to part 2 of our two part look at Cypress Hill's album 'Black Sunday', released on this day in 1993.

On the track '3 Lil' Putos', DJ Muggs digs into jazz and brings back 'Ode to Billy Joe' from Lou Donaldson's 1968 album 'Mr. Shing a Ling'. On 'Hits from the Bong', Muggs again uses the break from Lee Dorsey's 'Get Out of My Life Woman', but this time laces it with Dusty Springfield's smash hit single 'Son of a Preacher Man' from 1969's 'Dusty in Memphis' and Junior Mance's 'Don't Cha Hear Me Calling to Ya' from the 1970 album 'With a Lotta Help from My Friends'. 'Get Out of My Life Woman' appears yet again, this time a cover by Grassella Oliphant for Cypress Hill's 'What Go Around Come Around, Kid'. Finally, on 'Break 'em Off Some', Muggs samples the title cut from Joe Zawinul's 1966 album 'Money in the Pocket'.

'Black Sunday' eclipsed Cypress Hill's debut (to be reviewed soon) in terms of success and laid the groundwork for another decade plus of releases.
