What’s good everyone!!
Sometimes when it comes to writing my blog, beforehand I feel like I have tons of stuff to write about, but when it comes time to write, all of those “thoughts” just up & fly away. That’s why I’ve had some lapses with my blog entries, not to make excuses or anything.
Anyway, recently I’ve had more things to blog about. This time around, I’m gonna talk about the return of the now legendary Cypress Hill SmokeOut.
Its been maybe 4-5 years since the last SmokeOut. For those who don’t know about it, let me give you a brief background. The very first Smokout happened in the late 90’s and was originally planned out as a public record release party for our album “IV”. We were going to have it in the parking lot of this place called “Pepper’s” in the City of Industry & was primarily a night club. I think the owners got scared because they got worried about the size of the crowd. It was moved to San Bernardino Orange Show. Granted, everyone just expected about 3000 people, not the 12,000 that came. It all started from there and it grew. We had some classic SmokeOut shows with a lot of great bands. Then, it just disappeared like a cloud of Kush smoke. Of course there were reasons for the hiatus but me as well as other people are happy that the SmokeOut is back. For those that didn’t get a chance to come to this year’s SmokeOut definitely missed a great show and a good time. Besides Cypress doing the “Black Sunday” album in its entirety & my show with DJ Rhettmatic, I had a great time and at the time of this writing, I’m still recovering from the show. Don’t worry, its coming back next year!!
Until the next blog entry, I’m out!!!
