Disco de Cypress Hill: “Stash”

I'm tired of recycled material being released as albums. Cypress Hill has already released "Unreleased and Revamped", a Spanish remix album of some of their songs, and the live album. Now we see this, mediocre remix of some of their past hits. Leave well enough alone and stop releasing recycled material.

Cypress keeps dropping cd's every few months, which is a good thing for a fan like me. Stash is a 6 song remix disc of some old-to-new material, most of which is somewhat obscure. You won't find any "kill a man" or "insane in the brain" on here. The remixes are pretty tight, but this type of project is suited for a hardcore fan of cypress.

This EP is not worth your money unless you're a hardcore Cypress Hill fan who has ate up every other cd they put out. Definitely the worst in their whole repertoire. I would've preferred the first 5 songs being unedited. The remixes of the songs aren't better than the originals. The beats alone are good, and the originals are good, but together, it just sounds recycled, like a forced release thrown together to make a few bucks. There's nothing going on in this EP. Its boring, to say the least. The only reason I've even given it 2 stars is because I think any Cypress Hill is tolerable. Its not so bad you can't listen to it ever, but its bad enough to end up at the bottom of your cd collection. Stick with the originals, they're much better. If you buy this, it won't be in your cd player very long.

Now I know this isn't really a very productive and classic CD, but it is worth a listen if you dig the Cypress Hill homies, and its sold for extra-cheap so its not a setback to have in your collection. I have alot of Cypress Hill cdz, and I'm proud to say this is one of them. Albumz like IV, Black Sunday and the original remix album, Remixed and Revamped, which I do recommend in addition to this one since that one is so much longer and fresher. Onto the EP, which I will only comment on the song(s) I like.

As a matter of fact, I only really like one song on this ep, which would be 'Throw Your Set In The Air(Slow Roll Remix)' which doesn't even entirely sound too different from the many other versions of this track. Its a laid-back and chiller beat then the original or its remix, which is a good track to blaze to or just bump for some bass. But then again this song is a classic and always will be.

They even have a remix of '(Rap) Superstar', remixed by production-guru the Alchemist. While the Alchemist is a good producer, Eminem's little intro talk kinda throws this track out the window, since I hate Eminem and all. B-Real does sound good on this though, Alchemist supplied a good beat for tha Hill.

Overall, this ep is only worth having if your a collector of Cypress Hill'z muzic, which I am, so I don't know really wether to recommend it or not, but I like it in my collection so take my word for it.
