With Souls Of Mischief, Lord SKO

Cypress Hill shifts culture. The South Gate, California rap group championed cannabis before it became fashionable, ushered in a genre-shifting sonic tapestry, performed thousands of shows at a time when rappers were having a hard time getting booked for live gigs and helped pave the way for rappers to use Spanish in their rhymes. Along the way, Cypress Hill earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, sold more than 9 million albums, and was nominated for three Grammy Awards. (cypresshill.com)
