Slightly Stoopid and Cypress Hill Reach New Heights
Reggae and Hip-Hop Meet Up for a Blazing Summer Party
Reggae artist Collie Buddz got the party started with a set of traditional reggae music. Like most reggae artists Collie hit the audience with some classic old school reggae sounds, a bit of dancehall and then the typical Bob Marley cover. After a brief dj set, Cypress Hill took command of the stage. The "Hill" has endured the test of time and has become the Grateful Dead of hip-hop. Rappers B Real and Sen Dog, backed by dj Julio G. and percussionist Eric Bobo went through some of their biggest hits and also delivered cuts off of their latest disc "Rise Up". The group also expounded on their true love and affection for cannabis with a medley of their best known tunes that pay tribute to the green leafy substance. This set the stage for Slightly Stoopid.
The only criticism one may have for the San Diego, suburban reggae group is that their studio discs can't seem to capture the laid back party vibe of their live shows. Slightly Stoopid may not be breaking any new ground but they do provide the perfect soundtrack to a typical southern California night. With a little punk and hard rock thrown into their reggae mix and some choice words about their favorite herb, The Legalize It Tour has the makings of one of the best parties to attend this summer.
