Cypress Hill Celebrates Its Legacy By Dropping A New Documentary On 4/20

Every day is 4/20 to Cypress Hill, but this year the iconic rap group has a whole new reason to celebrate the holiday dedicated to marijuana. One month after dropping its 10th studio album Back In Black, Cypress Hill released a new documentary.

On Wednesday, April 20, Showtime debuted the historic rap group’s new documentary Cypress Hill: Insane In The Brain. Long-time photographer, filmmaker, tour manager, DJ, and (according to the group) therapist Estevan Oriol directed the visual account of Cypress Hill’s 30+ years in the rap game. Oriol told the L. A Times that he and crew had amassed about 25 years’ worth of footage and photos, but he managed to condense it down to an 87-minute film.

“We’ve been talking about this documentary since we’ve been on tour in the ‘90s,” Oriol said. “We always were shooting. Muggs, Bobo, me, and B all had video cameras, so we were filming the shows. We got it to the point where we had 25 years of footage and 25 years of photos.”
