Was HoP taking the piss out of Cyprus Hill or was it the other way around? I know it's one way or the other but forget which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 29, 2021 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2021 Not sure where you read that but pretty sure it's not true. Both bands were very close. Muggs from Cypress Hill and Everlast from HOP had worked together before either band existed, Muggs produced half that HOP album (including jump around of course), they did shows together and still make music together now. Whilst we're talking about House of Pain their American Irish schtick was so incredibly cringeworthy. They actually had a single called "top of the morning to ya". Jesus fucking Christ.

I think they play St Anger, and that's about it. It's a shame because I genuinely love that album. @Chest Rockwellthe first line of Top Of The Morning To Ya is "You see I'm Irish, but I'm Not A Leprechaun". It's very reminiscent of Jump Around as well. Some soul sample at the start and then gets on with the song. Edited August 30, 2021 by jazzygeofferz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 They really put the sham in Shamrocks And Shenanigans. They were like when Eastenders went to rural Ireland for a week or when Star Trek Next Gen picked up some Oirish passengers. Might as well have just worn a green suit and carried a pig under their arm. They were off the SpursRiot scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 It’s weird how Americans are more proud of being Irish than actual Irish people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all love their family historical routes but very few of them have actually visited Ireland, Italy, Greece, Scotland or wherever they claim to identify so strongly with.

To be fair black Americans going on about Africa is equally tiresome and uninformed. It's just an American thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of get Tom Sawyer because of the synth solo bit and the drumming is great, but overall it's just a bit dull and Limelight is a fucking dirge. From the same album, you could have had YYZ or Witch Hunt, both far superior. Or how about anything from Grace Under Pressure? Eh? EH? Who's with me? *lonely Rush fan tumbleweed* Spirit of Radio would be their most famous song, I'd have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
