This pine box ain’t strong enough to contain these afro locks!

That’s a line from yesteryear’s music, no doubt the Social Bobcat would certainly recognize. It’s from Cypress Hill’s “Lick a Shot”. It was just shuffled to on the iPod.

It was the first record I bought that had a “gangsta’’ vibe. Even then CH aren’t really that gangsta.

I’ve opined that the gangsta genre ends with 50 Cent - but it’s his to take to its grave and I’ve really enjoyed his new release “The Massacre” aside from the horrible candy-pop “Candy Shop”.

Incidentally was he trying to make this song sound exactly like Lil’ Kim’s “Magic Stick” (on which he made a guest appearance?).
