Album information

The first single, "Insane in the Brain," became a crossover hit, starting a following among rock audiences. A censored version of the album was also made which removes the song "A to the K".

The songs "Hits from the Bong" and "I Wanna Get High" were used in the 2001 film How High. "I Wanna Get High" was also featured in the vampire junkie film "The Addiction." "Hits from the Bong" was also heard in the 2011 film Hall Pass. The song "When the Shit Goes Down" was also included in the 2013 film This Is the End. "Hand on the Glock" is a re-recorded version of the track "Hand on the Pump", from the debut album Cypress Hill. The booklet to the album contains 19 facts about the history of hemp and the positive attributes of cannabis.

Reception

The single "I Ain't Goin' Out Like That" was nominated for the Grammy Award's Best Rap Performance of the year category.

Rolling Stone - 4 stars - Excellent - "…it's the Cypress combo of stark grooves and cinematic gangsta fairy tales that allows them to rule the streets, a formula not messed with on Black Sunday…"

The Source - 4 stars - Excellent - "…a darker sequel…this album is definitely worth buying as it easily rips the frame out of all those Cypress bandwagon jumpers…"
