B-Real on Dad Shot 12 Times, Joining Bloods, Forming Cypress Hill, Ice Cube Beef (Full Interview)

In this VladTV exclusive, B-Real of the legendary group Cypress Hill stopped by to have an in-depth conversation about the group's history and his personal journey as well. B-Real recounted his early days in the streets as a member of Family Swans Bloods, the formation of Cypress Hill, and why he chose to never broadcast his gang affiliation in his music.
Later on, B-Real talks about his close friendship and eventual beef with Ice Cube as well as how the Eminem and Everlast situation started. B-Real also spoke at length about the role Cypress Hill played in the cannabis legalization movement and why he remains skeptical about investing in marijuana stocks.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

My friend, I lived through what this man did for hip hop. And I'll share with you that the world "big" doesn't begin to cover it. I grew up a latino hop hop kid, and there isn't a better man that could have represented Latinos than B Real and Cypress Hill. Black Sunday was Royalty in our home, and some of the few great memories that I do have from growing up in the early 90s is of my brothers and I piled into a room blasting Black Sunday and rapping along. I mean, let me put it this way- in 100 years, some kids are going to be learning about hip hop's history the way we do today and learn about artists from before our time. B-Real and Cypress Hill is going to be a piece of that story that people will learn about, long after we're gone.

[@BeastModeDanny]

[@GoldTop57]

I smoked spliffs with Cypress Hill after a concert around 1996 or 97. They were signing autographs and we were the last in line. At that point they lit up, and my friend asked if he could hit it. They commenced to light up about 3 of them and passed them around with our group of maybe 8 people. Hung out there for about 30 minutes. They just made small talk and were great to hang with. I could hardly walk when we finally left.

Cypress hill saved my life, at the time in the very early nineties I was a poor white kid in a majority black inner city area, I got victimised almost daily. Couldn’t go to the store without getting jumped and beat up. I was on the verge of suicide because of it, scared to leave my front door, then one day a friend brought round a tape and one of the tracks was a cypress hill songs( can’t remember which one right now) I got myself their album black Sunday, the track “ain’t going out like that” imooened my eyes and was one that really hit me, it was the one that gave me the courage to go on. I went to see them when they toured the uk and I bought myself a “meet and greet” ticket, I actually got to tell them the story and B was cool enough to not just sign my collectors poster but also wrote the title of the track on it to, was one of the happiest times I can remember, they all were so cool. I don’t think they could fully comprehend what I was saying as I’m sure people they meet always say similar things but it really was a life changing moment In my life.....

You know, watching B in interviews I always come to the same conclusion - dude is humble and down-to-earth. Just a cool guy you wouldn't mind choppin it up with over a beer...or a joint. Fitting that his name is B Real

[@Dhakadice]

I remember in the early 2000's when he was on the Rage Against The Machine message board a lot. After Zach quit the band, B Real asked the fans how they thought about him taking over the mic. Most people didn't even believe it was really him posting, so I asked him to confirm it on the Cypress Hill homepage. And he DID. "For you people on the Rage board, yeah that's me". :) B Real knows how important fans are to any artist.

[@Deceased2024]

@@Dhakadice that's cool. RATM were my first love when I was 11 or 12. I didn't get into Cypress until I started hitting the weed when I was 15. Then Es started floating around and I was a raver Into all types off music. If you're not on the weed, Cypress sound a little different but when you've had a waterfall and a spliff you can really GET Cypress. Not just the lyrics and lyrical style but the beats, everything drops into place and you can KNOW the baselines and how exquisite Muggs is at creating the bass lines and beats. The herb really does open up the mind and if you seek deep inside you WILL find

[@mightkilljacksome1487]

Cypress was definitely a big part of my life when I was 11-12yrs old. I remember seeing this one dude who would always hit up "Cypress Hill" along with a crudely drawn pot leaf in some of the spots I would hang out at as a kid back in '91. Mostly abandoned buildings and hang out spots where people would throw beer ball parties and shit like that. A few months later in 1992, I planned to stay out for the night at my boy's house and his two cousins came out and picked us up to to smoke. My very first time smoking, we blowed through 3 huge dimebowls out of a a one foot bong in the dude's attic and went riding around listening to the entire first Cypress album. Listening to Hand on the pump for the first time while high as fuck, parked in the Jewish cemetery near the airport, smoking joints with planes flying directly overhead is something I'll never forget

[@Deceased2024]

Cool story. There was a bridge called the cypress hill bridge. We didn't smoke under it, even though there was no chance of the pigs turning up. It was a bit too windy and cold atmosphere, we used to smoke up the hill a bit under the subway. Plenty of leaves and quotes about MJ were written there but under their Cypress Hill bridge, "Cypress Hill" and a MJ leaf was the only thing written there for 20 years

So my greatest memories listening and even knowing Cypress Hill, was with my moms ex, growing up, at the time he was considered my stepdad..he took me to the father daughter dance, bc I grew up w.out my biological father..and so we were really close and of course he had moved in with my mom and i..so I'd get so excited when just me and chris would go out driving where I don't remember but he would always put cypress hill on for me bc I knew of them more bc of him, it was our thing..and mind you he was a comedian, literally, he was actually really funny with a lot of potential, he was in his 30s, and I was just about 11 ish...he worked at the comedy clubs in Boston Ma, and so we would be in the car and hed put on insane by cypress hill and just turn his neck look at me and I knew what he was about to do...he would nod his head real swaggy up and down really tight JUST like b real did back then..and id of course copy him 😆 he knew every word and the other thing was that he was Fully Italian, and had dark hair and the exact same facial hair that b real did and still does, around his mouth..and the face shape eyes, he literally all the time would get people coming up to us saying omg you look just like that guy from cypress hill lol..so for me riding around listening to their music with my step-dad and the fact that he was so cool and looked like b real was just everything I thought I was the ish lol.. Sadly he up and left one day while my mom was working and I was home alone with him and I back then had no idea he was about to just leave us...and I after told my mom Chris left Chris left mama I was in tears for days!! I mean I looked up to that man..and anyways long story short we both never heard from him or I didn't she did 1 more time, alone..but he moved to N. CAROLINA and eventually got married and then my mom one apparently just had a random thought of him (mind you they were in love, she adored him) they always cooked in the kitchen together he was Italian so he could cook 👨‍🍳!! But she had a thought that just basically said look up Chris online and see if he died. Weird ik..but she just had a vivid random thought that told her to do that. Nothing physical made her think that he died just random..so sure enough she looked him up on Google and he indeed passed away at age 38 yrs old due to a single car accident only involving himself. He was found early Sunday morning..no drugs/alcohol found in him at all...prob coming home from work at a comedy club or something like that we don't know for sure, but the roads down in south Carolina are notorious for sometimes being very curvy and narrow..so who knows..but that really hurt us both..and scary how accurate that random thought was I think God was trying to tell her. He used to play all sports with me and my friends outside and go to the pool too, even though he had back problems/surgery before. God love him...RIP CHRIS, best step-dad ever 😢 🙏 ill always remember our good times and the love and joy you did provide to my mother & I..thank you!! Ily xoxo
