MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By March 16th of 1993…

Cypress Hill’s
“Insane in the Brain”

was on every radio station – rock, alternative, hip-hop

Maybe not country.

(Music Cut #2)

The song came from their second album,

Black Sunday.

And it had a sound

that helped introduce a lot of alternative rock fans

to hip-hop.

(Music Cut #3)

But the most recognizable sound in the song—

that high-pitched screeching wail—

is actually a horse neighing.

Producer
DJ Muggs
pulled the sample from the 1968 song
“Melting Pot”

by Booker T. & the M.G.’s.
