Description
ON SALE 14/01/2008 CYPRESS HILL – HQ COMPLEX. Described by Rolling Stone as hip-hop’s Cheech and Chong, Cypress Hill are the original, the crazy, the shocking, the loud and funked up Latino Hip Hop Kings from South Central LA. Currently working with Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park) Cypress Hill will be dropping a new album in 2008 and are preparing to shake up the Hip Hop scene once again with their unmistakable fusion of Hip Hop, Rock and Latin influences. Cypress Hill reached the status we know today with their album Black Sunday, released in 1993. Black Sunday entered the charts at #1 and included one of the biggest tracks of all time; Insane in the Brain. Their trademark rolling drum n bass loops have been widely influential and imitated by many – including Dr Dre’s G-Funk and English trip-hop – but none come close to the original, the loudest, the most outrageous, Cypress Hill!..

 
 

I so want to see Cypress before I die!!!!!!

i'm pretty sure Pharoahe Monch is playin aswell... probably more pumped to catch him. easily in my top 5 mc's. been hangin to catch him for years! massive show

its all about pharoah for me- one of best performers i saw last year.. hope he has band with him
 shit will be off da hook

YAY! This sorts out my conundrum about coming back to adelaide perfectly!

I just hope work let me take an extra day and come to Adelaide early 

pharoahe is touring wth his band too - shit is tight as fuck..

Fuck Yes...   

*Takes Hit*

This saves the head Fuck of getting to Good Vibes!! 

hi does anyone know if there doing signing at all at maybe da klinic ? same with ill bill ??

ill bill should be doin an in store at clinic 116 but not confirmed yet

wow, inflation!

in kinda 2 minds about this. ive seen em a few times, and the best was definitely the first time (the 94 tour with ice cube) and one of my all time fave live gigs. was cool seein him enjoy SA's finest green on stage.

and the last time i saw them, at glastonbury in 2000 they completely sucked shit. it was more rock than hip hop and pretty bland shit at that.
have they gone back to their hip hop roots?


interesting way of describing it, not sure if i agree, esp as Dre's ultimate G-funk LP the chronic came out the same year and sounds nothing like cypress hill, let alone trip hop
cypress were just dark, fat rolling beats and sounding like no other!

SA's best green is hard to come by these days 

really want to see that pharaohe dude, Steve has been playin his album, oh sooooo good 

same - where is the quality green it;s killin me lol

ps - bring on pharoahe

green in general is hard to come by at the moment it blows

found some thai buddha

sweet as

share or STFU

I think they mean lots of triphop artists sat around smoking dope to Black Sunday and then in a stoner haze decided to make beats...

Regardless, if this doesn't sell out before my next pay, I'm coming over for this!

STRAY BULLET
Let the trigger finger put the pressure to the mechanism
Which gives a response for the automatic *bang*
Clip to release projectiles in single
file forcing me to ignite then travel
through the barrel headed for the light
At the end of a tunnel with no specific target in sight
Slow the flow like H2O water
Visualize the scene of a homicide a slaughter
No remorse for the course I take when you pull it
The result's a stray bullet
Niggaz who knew hit the ground runnin and stay down
Except for the kids who played on the playground
Cause for some little girl she'll never see
more than six years of life, trif-le-ing
When she fell from the seesaw
But umm wait, my course isn't over
Fled out of the other side of her head towards
a red, Range, Rover, then I ricochet
Fast past a brother's ass, oh damn, what that nigga say
"Aww fuck it", next target's Margaret's face *bang*
and I struck it
Now it's a flood of blood in circumfrence to her face
and an abundance of brains all over the street
Shame how we had to meet *bang*
Dashin, buckin, greet by fuckin family
They follow behind me in a orderly fashion
Bashin through flesh I'm wild
Crashin through the doors of projects hallways
to deflect off of the tile
I'm coming for you little girl
Once inside I shatter your world
Swirl, no more dreams no hopes when I spray
You better pray, to the Pope or the Vatican
Before I go rat-tat-a-tat again
I'm mad again brother somebody's mother will be sad again
but, whose blue skies will turn grey
from the attack, of the Mac-11, I'm a stray, bullet

Fuckin amped for tonight!!

Ready to rumble. Hope they play Illusions...

fuck yeah. see ya there lads.

its all about Pharoah,
fuckin killed it . so glad i went!!

Indeed.

I went for Pharoahe, but Cypress were real good too

Fkn top night all round really.

It was all about Julio G for me. Radio Los Santos represent. I had to laugh when I saw him and the percussionist trying to entice a young lass into their car on Hindley street after the show. Fucking run a train on that shit.

On the subject of the percussionist, when I saw the kit I had a sick feeling in my stomach, thinking it was gonna ruin the set for me. Quite the opposite actually, very nice addition. Probably my favourite part of the show was when B-Real and the percussionist indulged in a bit of a percussion solo. Ill shit!

And they played Illusions!!! 

Ditto. Was an awesome night. So glad I decided to go in the end. Got heaps of dope footage I will up when possible.

Why did Pharaoh have to be on so early? I missed his set.

Cypress were fucking tops tho!

Haven't seen HQ that packed for a while. Mmmm the smell of chronic in the air.


And no hiphop show is complete without the flood of wankers and brawls 

Here here - Lucky I got a message telling me when he satrted as there were no times on when things started anywhere and I got my tickets on my credit card and wasnt picking up till that night so thank god I caught him - Cypress were wicked and I have lvoed them since I was a kid but yeah was there for Pharoahe all the way and I wish his set was longer

Love this gig!

For me it was all about Cypress...

Took me back to being 20 again

yeah i went for cypress but pharoahe was what has stuck with me he had that place rocking

dam straight he shoulda been later and on for longer

Pharoahe is the king but i rekon cypress took the show this time.. the lead into dr greenthumb was funny as.. those lads were dodging joints like bullets but finally temptation gave in and they smoked the adelaide goodness..

the onething that stirred me up was the intro/outro 'Queens" instro's without dropping the rhymes... Gutted!

Most Hip Hop shows are normally on quite Early.. Sort sucks in a way, It makes the whole night kinda Rushed.. IMO (Especially the people with late dinner plans..) 

I was Glad I rolled in just before 9... Got to see the Lot. 

Went for amped for Cypress 

& Experienced something truly amazing.. Big Ups Pharoahe.... 

Not really, I think it was to do with it being on a Thursday night. Most shows I've been to at HQ don't wrap up until about 3 where as this one was over at 12:30.

Was funny as how the place was stinking of BO and within 10 seconds of Cypress walking out it absolutely reeked of weed.
