Cypress Hill "Cypress Hill" (1991)
It's a really great hiphop album. The mix of two MC's different voices, the mix of the sense of humour with the more hardcore subject matter, and underneath it all, DJ Muggs' simple, yet memorable arrangements.
The bass and beat-centric music with some interesting, but sparse use of samples and miscellaneous noises is kind of what I used to associate with 90s hiphop, I suppose because I was mostly familiar with artists like Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony who go for those more stripped-down arrangements.
