Over a decade has passed since Cypress Hill left their impact on hiphop and mainstream culture with their self-titled debut in 1991 and Black Sunday in 1993. Those albums had everyone from hiphop heads to potheads singing along to anthems about ''Pigs,'' ''Hits from the Bong,'' and ''How I Could Just Kill a Man'' and of course the frat boy favorite ''Insane in the Brain.''
