It's hard enough to transform an entire musical genre – Cypress Hill's eponymous debut album revolutionized hip-hop in several respects. Although they weren't the first Latino rappers, nor the first to mix Spanish and English, they were the first to achieve a substantial following, thanks to their highly distinctive sound. Along with Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, Cypress Hill were also one of the first rap groups to bridge the gap with fans of both hard rock and alternative rock. And, most importantly, they created a sonic blueprint that would become one of the most widely copied in hip-hop. In keeping with their promarijuana stance, Cypress Hill intentionally crafted their music to sound stoned – lots of slow, lazy beats, fat bass, weird noises, and creepily distant-sounding samples. The surreal lyrical narratives were almost exclusively spun by B Real in a nasal, singsong, instantly recognizable delivery that only added to the music's hazy, evocative atmosphere; as a frontman, he could be funny, frightening, or just plain bizarre (again, kind of like the experience of being stoned). Whether he's taunting cops or singing nursery rhyme-like choruses about blasting holes in people with shotguns, B Real's blunted-gangsta posture is nearly always underpinned by a cartoonish sense of humor. It's never clear how serious the threats are, but that actually makes them all the more menacing. The sound and style of Cypress Hill was hugely influential, particularly on Dr. Dre's boundary-shattering 1992 blockbuster The Chronic; yet despite its legions of imitators, Cypress Hill still sounds fresh and original today, simply because few hip-hop artists can put its sound across with such force of personality or imagination.

The sound of Cypress Hill was influential, but it was without them ever trying. If they bridged the gap between hard rock and alternative fans, that was not due to them changing their music. This was their debut, and it was all hip-hop. The slowed down beats and creepy samples was not specifically done to be white or to appeal to a white audience, even though producer DJ Muggs is caucasian. It was simply the art of hip-hop production from his point of view, sharing the records in his crates and manipulating sound in a fashion not too many people were doing.

Listen to this album as "a day in the life of Cypress Hill", which meant being in the streets of Los Angeles and being careful about corrupt police officers, the stress of being a young man on the rough streets, trying to find identity, partying, and what would become one of Cypress Hill's trademarks, the love of getting high. The group came off as refreshing, partly due to the unique nasal-tone of B-Real and the rough edged rhymes of Sen-Dog. While primarily in Spanish, they would always represent their Latino roots by rapping in Spanish, or doing things in "Spanglish".

It was meditative. Hip-hop never shied away from partying to lift up one's spirits, and getting high through the almighty weed, but Cypress Hill were one of the first to do it not as a means of doing something illegal, but to outright say "we are pro weed", something most hip-hop artists had never done before. Maybe that's where the "white appeal" comes from.

Truth be told, by 1991, a good portion of hip-hop's popularity was due to a growing white fan base, due to heavy exposure on MTV and BET, and the music slowly gaining radio rotation outside of college circles. Without that early support, Cypress Hill could have become another early 90's hip-hop casualty. But they weren't. Their sound did change with their second and subsequent albums, even specifically moving towards a rock/metal edge. They didn't need to do that. Had the group never recorded another album, their debut would be worthy enough to be considered one of the best hip-hop albums ever made.
