Black Sunday by Cypress Hill
Black Sunday is an album by Cypress Hill, released in 1993. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 34 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Insane in the Brain”, on 30 lists with a best position of #8.
Black Sunday, Cypress Hill's second album, hit the shops on July 20, 1993, on Ruffhouse and Columbia, and it's a dark, smoky, menacing ride. DJ Muggs produced it, laying down murky, head-nodding beats for B-Real and Sen Dog, and the South Gate crew's enthusiasm for marijuana, which they have never been shy about, is written right into the track list: "Hits from the Bong", "I Wanna Get High".
"Insane in the Brain" was the one everybody knew. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number one, sold 261,000 copies in its first week, and with the debut still on the chart made Cypress Hill the first hip-hop group with two albums in the top 10 at the same time. It went on to quadruple platinum.
