Cypress Hill have always been one of the most popular hip-hop groups in Latino circles (most of the group have a Hispanic background), so an album of
Grandes Exitos en Espanol makes much more sense than it would for
Method Man or
Jay-Z. For anyone who doesn't understand Spanish (especially fans who have heard all of these productions, but one, before), the album is occasionally diverting just to hear the group rhyming in Spanish. "Insane in the Brain" becomes "Loco en el Coco," "How I Could Just Kill a Man" becomes "No Entiendes la Onda," and "I Wanna Get High" becomes "Yo Quiero Fumar." The bonus track is "Siempre Peligroso," recorded with
Fermin IV Caballero of
Control Machete. ~ Keith Farley
