[@fontcrimes2022]

Man this is great. I could listen to B Real talk about the group for hours

[@la7120]

Hip Hop podcasts narratives...yup

[@specificgravity-thedancing9700]

NPR Tiny Desk sound engineers are top of the class. Every show sounds like a studio album.

[@johnw3641]

B-Real one of the greatest lyricists ever. Cypress still doing it as good as when they came out. Legends 🔥

[@kenyanthornell9717]

the DJ cutting up "More Bounce to the Ounce" and the brass section syncing to that song mixed in to their classic "Insane in the Brain" was pure live music magic!!!

[@SureHaveBeenDrinkin]

Mix a lot! Nice pull.

[@xoloitsquintli]

I think I heard Atomic Dog in the mix as well, DJ was on point

[@marcoargueta7990]

That was sick

[@lori5032]

OMG! Amazing! What talent! Love Cypress Hill, the horns took the music to another level. Thank you Tiny Desk for putting on a big variety of artists! I am going to be singing Insane in the membrane all day! ❣❤‍🔥❣

[@spacenerd9499]

Truthfully it seems like it's my soundtrack for my life lately 🤣🤣

[@Jsbmetal74]

Cypress Hill is a cornerstone of hip-hop history and culture, meaning that they set the standard, set the bar, set the stage---and that means that they changed the standard, raised the bar, mobbed the stage. Much respect to these timeless rhymes.

[@KBWeeds]

WHAAAAAAAAAAT?! 😮So freaking happy I woke up to this! Cypress Hill is one of my favorites!! Thank you, NPR Tiny Desk Team! 🔥🔥🔥

[@mountainhobbit1971]

I cannot believe how much I am loving the horns, what they add is absolutely perfect and add so much emotion...and the drummer's main crash cymbal is pure gold too.

[@mr.p9266]

Check out Mac millers tiny desk it's equally dope

[@jsmithcolo]

I agree. The horns were awesome!

[@bentucker2301]

Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom is one of the most underrated rap albums of all time. Great performance and I love hearing the backstory behind the tracks.

[@andykerste1]

Strictly hiphop!🔥

[@dappadon9475]

Agreed, top 5er

[@DanButcher303]

I got Temples of Boom for my 13th birthday. What a gift!

[@dlanda79938]

Temples of Boom was my very first Rap album back when I was like 12. A true classic masterpiece and amazing to see them still going strong!

Impresionante!! Cypress Hill son de los pocos Grupos de Rap que en vivo suenan espectacular, siempre jugando con ritmos y diferentes instrumentos, pero sin perder la esencia de la calle. Son unas putas leyendas !!

This is ridiculously enjoyable!! Thanks for having Cypress Hill, so much fun!! Can't tell you how much the Tiny Desk brings out the best in musicians!! Big Music!!!! Lovin' This!!!! Thanks NPR!! Horns are killin' it!! Love the acoustic vibe!!

I love when the OGs come through and tear the house down. Cypress Hills music ages well

[@Encron]

Cypress Hill is always amazing live. One of the best hiphop acts ever

[@chrisibe]

IMO, two of the most recognizable voices in hip-hop.

[@Purrre]

This sounds so much better than I would ever imagine. Thanks for doing the show Cypress!

[@t1gl1t]

This is just incredible. Cypress 4 Life :)

[@max2082]

To me this is what Rap is suppose sound like. But I'm already in my forties at this point.

[@derricklewis9099]

How one of the last bands I thought would do a Tiny Desk.. EASILY becomes one of the best Tiny Desks.
