...like hip-hop, I say to myself. I simply am. If KRS-1 claims that one can "be hip-hop, standing in line at the supermarket," why can't I be hip-hop while concentrating in C.S.? Don't I listen to Cypress Hill's "Hits From the Bong" in the Science Center terminal room? Don't I fight for my right to party? I smile as I recall the wealthy, cookie-cutter suburb of New York City where I grew up. Maybe I'm not quite ready to break out the turntables and drop rhymes like my childhood...

Thus it is not surprising that the best songs on Cypress Hill IV are the ones that boast the most chilling sounds. "Dead Men Tell No Tales" is a pleasingly eerie...
...home-marijuana kit and a special screen to keep "those pesky porkchoppers" at bay. The song itself is a strong mix of bass, horns and Indian chants. The other drug song is the lackluster "High Times," which does little more than evoke memories of "Hits From the Bong" and "I Wanna Get High."
