Cypress Hill- How I Could Just Kill A Man
This was Cypress Hill’s debut single off their self titled 1991 album. The song also contains a sample at the very end, “All I wanted was a Pepsi” from the Suicidal Tendencies song Institutionalized. The video has cameos from Ice Cube and Q-Tip and was filmed in NYC despite the band being from Los Angeles (specifically South Gate).
Cypress Hill are playing the Made in America Festival on Sunday in Grand Park.
