Disco de Cypress Hill: “Greatest Hits From the Bong [PA]”
Descripción (en inglés) :
Cypress Hill: DJ Muggs, Eric Bobo, Sen Dog, B Real. <p>Additional personnel: Fredwreck (guitar); John Kirby (keyboards); Daniel Seef (bass guitar); Tego Calderon. <p>Recording information: 1991 - 2005. <p>Although Cypress Hill's heyday was in the early 1990s, the Los Angeles-based hip-hop act managed to have a surprisingly long-lived career in one form or another. (Nasal-voiced rapper B-Real is the group's only consistent member.) While these spliffheads are perhaps best known for initial hits like the street-tough "How I Could Just Kill a Man" and the wheezing, squealing anthem "Insane in the Brain," Cypress Hill also explored its Hispanic roots ("Latin Lingo") and ventured into nu-metal territory (the guitar-heavy "Rock Superstar"). <p>In addition to the aforementioned tracks, this 2005 compilation also includes an energetic reggaeton version of "Latin Thugs" that, like the original, features an appearance by Puerto Rican star Tego Calderon. Though the collection could have benefited from a few rarities (particularly the group's JUDGMENT NIGHT soundtrack collaborations with Pearl Jam and Sonic Youth), GREATEST HITS FROM THE BONG is a commendable overview of this perennial hip-hop act.

- good but not what I expected

Cypress Hill has always given their fans all that and then some; maybe that is why I am left wondering where disc 2 is in this package. This "greatest hits" compilation has only 9 songs from a group that has been putting out top-shelf albums for about 15 years. How can that possibly add up? Don't get me wrong, there isn't a bad song on this cd, but there is so much missing. What would've really worked well for the fans would have been a 2-disc package with the first having songs from cypress hill, black sunday, and temples of boom. The second could pick from IV, skull and bones, stoned raiders, and till death do us part. Also throw some live joints on there ("aint going out like that", "can't get the best of me") from the Fillmore show, and that would be more on the level with showing what the Hill is all about.

- A Good Starter Set, but not Definitive--

This compilation has several, though not all, of the key cuts from their highly influential first two studiio LPs..

Cypress' Urban radio play diminished as time went on, with pop/rock soon to follow.. Still, there were plenty more songs from their later LPs that should have been included, like the 'Throw your hands in the air' Erick Sermon remix, 'Boom biddy bye bye' Fugees remix, 'Trouble' and 'What's Your Number'.. the new songs, including a reggaeton experiment, are admirable..

All in all, Cypress really deserves a 2-disc set-- Since they spent their entire career thus far on Columbia/Sony, One can only hope that there may be an "Essential Cypress Hill" on the way, maybe in 2006.

For now, listeners are encouraged to get the first 3 studio LPs, plus their first Remix EP (if it's still in print)..

- a small, but satisfying Greatest hits from the Hill

This is a really good collection of Cypress Hill's best songs, but it's a small amount. I was expecting more than just 12 songs. A little disappointing, but still alot of good songs. This will probably be the only Greatest Hits from Cypress Hill for a while. Until then, this will have to do.

- BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!!!

Im a die hard cypress hill fan , i have every album in their catologue. Their last record til death had mix views. But fans want their eagerly waited "lost temple" unrleased album from their time of temples of boom 1995. The album has not been reeased, instead we have a half done very weak done greatest hits. This album is 12 tracks incl 2 new tracks , which are not standouts. Which means we have 10 great teracks. WTF!!! , We are missing 12 more tracks at the least. This is not even half the greatest hits. You will save money and disapointment if you just buy their 1st three albums which come in a box set. I will give this 2.5/5 3 cuz you cant.

Usually on greatest hits , you have their best songs ... This album misses out 60 percent . And i seriously hope they dont bring out volume 2 instead of lost temples.

I wouldnt buy the album for the new tracks either.

- Greatest "Hits From the Bong?"

I love Cypress Hill, and I must say that the songs on here should be on a greatest hits album, but like everyone else that commented I fully agree there were just many songs that should have been added. Should have been a 2-disc set.

The one thing that I'm surprised I didn't see in any of the other comments which gave me the need to add it is this...why is this album called "Greatest Hits From the Bong" when they don't even have the song "Hits From the Bong"??????? that alone made the rating drop. This greatest hits album would have still been lacking a bit, but at least been acceptable if that song was added.
