Cypress Hill/ Paul Revere

[instigator7022]

How weird is it that Cypress Hill has a song called "Busted in the Hood" that is basically a rendition of Paul Revere.

THe first 2 lines are: "WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL... here's a little story, I got to tell
About a thugged out homey, I know so well"

When i heard it i was just like "Whaaaaaaaaat?"

[ShenGod]

Is that the only similarity?

B-Real likes Paul Revere - and in a way it's meant to be a kind of tribute to the Beastie Boys version because of that.

paul revere's been quoted many a time by rap acts. man, beastie boys blew hip-hop music wide open for all races. no doubt. check the history books. and if you ask an o.g., they'll agree.

[Mr.Right]

The whole song reminds of Paul Revere...

It's called an homage.

[Thundercracker]

yeah, Busta Rhymes did the same thing to Paul Revere on Green Lantern's New York State of Mind.

its true...i was hanging with some OG's the other night and it came up

[Praying Mantis]

It's not surprising consider both groups are fans of each other and remember the Hill even performed w/ the Boys on the A. Hall show!!!!
