Hip hop done right

"For whatever reason, this seems to be the Cypress album that everyone is negative about. Not really sure why, b/c everybody loved skull and bones, which had the rock and rap thing going on as well. With stoned raiders, you get a good deal of both styles; the new metal stuff (trouble) as well as the hardcore rap (southland killers). B Real and Sen sound as tight as ever and of course Muggs is always on point. People seem to hate b/c Cypress is trying out some newer styles. Truth is, these guys couldn't make a bad record if they wanted to...

"Man...what to say. I just got done with my third listen, and I am still in disbelief. This is such a masterful accomplishment on so many levels. Cypress Hill has not only outdone itself, but literally has set itself to be the album for all others to be judged upon. You think I'm full of it, or just a fanboy, listen to this album, and you tell me me I'm wrong. Now, when I say on so many levels, I mean this. On a lyrical level, B is being so real, honest , and retrospective. Track 3, where he's taking a look back at his last 10 years, is so f'n interesting on its own. Thats just an example. This whole album is Cypress coming full circle, literally taking from the past (This is something you can't understand retrospective, which is the last track), literally takes the past and fuses with state of art hooks and beats. Speaking now of the music. I would never use this word normally, but its beautiful. Skulls and Bones last year started the whole Hip Hop meets Rock for the Hill. But this album so seemlessly blends the two. Its just great music on its own. There is no filler tracks on Stoned Raiders. In fact, this album is so meant to be heard from start to finish. I would even go so far as to say that this is one of the best concept albums of all time.
I have always been a Cypress Hill fan, and I am so digging this album its scary. I really can't express to you people enough how great this album is. Muggs has so perfected the game. What once Dre held, Muggs has eclipsed. It is so rare that a group from way back can so outdo any of these newbies. Cypress has set the stage. Get this album now!"
Different sound, same Cypress Hill

"This cd everybody is ragging on. Everyone wants TOB or Black Sunday, so then just go listen to that cd. They are expirementing with new styles and integrating sounds which for the most part is done very well. Of course it's not like their old stuff, because that would just be lame redoing old beats and lyrics. All and all, this really is a good cd for any CYPRESS HILL fan, not just a TOB fan."
