Info for Elephants on Acid

Die Story zum neuen Cypress Hill-Album ELEPHANTS ON ACID begann mit einem irren Traum von DJ Muggs. In diesem lief er, aus dem Tiefschlaf gerissen, einem Mann mit einem Elefantenkopf nach. Als sie zur Haustüre hinausgingen, tauchte mitten auf der Straße plötzlich eine Tür auf. Durch diese Tür gelangten sie direkt in eine Wüste. Muggs folgte weiter dem Elefantenmann und Raum und Zeit begannen allmählich zu verschwimmen alles schien wie in Salvador Dalis Gemälde in der Wüste zu schmelzen. Dieser Szenerie entfachte ein Feuer und eine Horde Elefanten rannte auf ihn zu. Der mystische Elefantenmann öffnete abermals eine Türe: Herzlich Willkommen im Cypress Hill-Wunderland ELEPHANTS ON ACID !

Mit diesem Traum im Hinterkopf baute DJ Muggs zusammen mit den Rappern B-Real und Sen Dog einen Klangkosmos, der die HipHop-Legende 27 Jahre nach ihrem Debüt noch einmal in eine komplett andere Welt katapultiert. ELEPHANTS ON ACID ist ein psychedelischer Trip. Eine Platte, die einerseits alle Trademarks der Band bietet: die dunklen Beats, die schrägen Effekte, die unverkennbare hohe Rap-Stimme von B-Real, den bassigen Gegenpart von Sen Dog. Doch geht ELEPHANTS ON ACID weiter: Es gibt Momente, da denkt man an Pink Floyd und die Doors, an Jazz-Avantgarde und dunkelsten TripHop.

Fast 20 Millionen Alben haben Cypress Hill im Laufe ihrer Karriere verkauft fast 500 Millionen Mal wurden ihre Songs gestreamt. Frühe Hits wie Insane In The Brain oder I Ain t Goin Out Like That sind Klassiker. Beim letzten Album Rise Up (2010) war DJ Muggs erstmals nicht als Haupt-Produzent beteiligt, doch nun ist er zurückgekehrt. Das Album ist beides, eine Rückkehr zur alten Stärke und ein Ausbruch in eine komplett neue Welt , urteilt B-Real. Alte Fans von Cypress Hill werden sich an der ersten Single Band Of Gypsies berauschen, ein Hit mit Ägyptischen Sängern, zur indischen Sitar und zu Tabla-Beats. Absolut partytauglich ist auch Oh Na Na , das den typischen Cypress Hill-Stil mit dem Sound aus Filmen von Quentin Tarantino verbindet. Für den Refrain ist die Sängerin Brevi verantwortlich, mit der DJ Muggs auch bei seinem TripHop-Projekt Cross My Heart Hope To Die zusammenarbeitet. Brevi ist mit ihrer großartigen Soul-Stimme auch bei den zwei Hits Crazy und Reefer Man zu hören. Im letzten Drittel des Albums ziehen Cypress Hill ihre Hörer in eine verwunschene Parallelwelt und so endet das Album mit dem mysteriösen TripHipHop-Track Stairway To Heaven es ist das erstaunliche Schlusskapitel einer Platte, die dem Rap-Genre die Magie und den Rausch zurückgibt: ELEPHANTS ON ACID ist ein psychedelisches HipHop-Meisterwerk.

Cypress Hill
Another of the new rap breed to extol the creative use of marijuana/hemp, this interracial trio from the Latin quarter of Los Angeles are champions of NORML (National Organisation To Reform Marijuana Laws), and perform tracks such as "I Wanna Get High", "Legalize It" and "Insane In The Brain" which advocate marijuana as a cultural replacement for alcohol. However, the reason for their widespread success lies instead with their blend of full and funky R&B, tales of dope and guns adding the final sheen to the laid-back beats. The crew was formed by DJ Muggs (b. Lawrence Muggerud, 28 January 1968, Queens, New York, USA, of Italian descent), and vocalists B-Real (b. Louis Freese, 2 June 1970, Los Angeles, California, USA, of Mexican/Cuban descent) and Sen Dog (b. Senen Reyes, 20 November 1965, Cuba). Sen Dog had come to Los Angeles from his native Cuba at the age of 14. With his younger brother Mellow Man Ace, he had formed the prototype rap outfit, DVX, and claims to have invented the Spanglish "lingo" style. The line-up also included former 7A3 members DJ Muggs and B-Real.When Mellow Man Ace left to start a solo career the remaining trio renamed themselves after a local street. Their self-titled 1991 debut was only available in the UK on import for some time, though in the US it created a lot of interest almost immediately, and eventually went platinum. Longstanding B-boys, touring for free and opening for Naughty By Nature, Cypress Hill represented rap's new wave. After the militancy and radicalism of Public Enemy and NWA, Cypress Hill were advocating escapism via blunts, and making it sound very attractive indeed, particularly to the all important white alternative rock audience. The second album, rather than pursuing a more commercial bent, was informed by dark events in their home city, specifically the Rodney King beating. Black Sunday debuted at Number 1 in the US R&B and Pop charts in 1993, and contained the Top 20 crossover hit "Insane In The Brain". The gun-touting "Cock The Hammer' also turned up on the soundtrack to Arnold Schwarzenegger"s mega-flop, Last Action Hero. Their reputation for violent lyrics (a method they justified as: "not promoting, more explaining what goes on") was underscored when they appeared on the soundtrack for another movie, Mad Dog And Glory, in a scene which accompanies a drug killing. They also recorded tracks with Pearl Jam ("Real Thing") and Sonic Youth ("I Love You Mary Jane") for the movie Judgement Night. Their breakthrough in the UK came when they supported House Of Pain on dates through 1993, after which they achieved a string of Top 20 singles. The latter crew, and several others including Ice Cube and the Beastie Boys, benefited from the services of DJ Muggs' in-demand production skills. Eric Bobo joined the crew in 1994 as percussionist. Their third long-player, the dark, edgy III: Temples Of Boom, lost Cypress Hill their college audience but regained the respect of the hip-hop community. It was also a commercial success, debuting at US number 3. Sen Dog left in February 1996 to work with his punk/metal outfit SX-10 and was replaced by DJ Scandalous, who had already worked with the crew. A nine-track EP of rare remixes followed before the members concentrated on solo projects, with Muggs releasing Muggs Presents ... The Soul Assassins Chapter 1 and B-Real working with the Psycho Realm. Cypress Hill, with Sen Dog back on board, made an impressive artistic comeback in 1998 with Cypress Hill IV, although the album failed to break into the US Top 10. The double set Skull & Bones was divided equally between traditional hip-hop and more crossover-orientated material.
