In 1991, Cypress Hill dropped their debut single ‘How I Could Just Kill A Man,’ a track that salted the hip-hop game considerably. This release was the first from their album of the same name and became an instant classic. The song was released as a double A-side with ‘The Phuncky Feel One’ and received heavy airplay on urban and college radio. It reached the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks and peaked at No. 77 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The track was produced by DJ Muggs and features samples from ‘Tramp’ by Lowell Fulson and ‘Midnight Theme’ by Manzel, among others. The song was also used in the 1992 film ‘Juice’ and appeared on the soundtrack of the game ‘Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’ in 2004.
The accompanying music video was directed by David Perez Shadi and features cameos by Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest and Ice Cube. In 1999, the song was re-released with Spanish lyrics and a new video.
‘How I Could Just Kill A Man’ is one of the tracks that salted the hip-hop scene considerably and remains an influential classic in the genre.
If you haven't heard this track yet, it's time to treat your ears to this salty hit.”
