Why Marijuana Is Becoming Mainstream: Meeting With Cypress Hill | DailyVee 510

so you got a proper table this is one of our Cypress Hill products there you go yeah so back to like how fun my life has gotten last two years as more eyes have been on me waking up in the morning and getting a DM from Cypress Hill that's some [ __ ] I called every single [ __ ] person with the high school and like just had the best time how did you get onto the cut like what was just like how did you even become aware of the contour what happened someone put me on to you know and so you know like yo check this guy out yeah and you got it right started from there and we got same way he got you in the first 30 seconds or a little bit longer no right off the top you know because you know a lot of the stuff that you're trying to instill in people is inspirational in saying that you know there's no obstacles you can go do this if you set your mind to task boom go get it no excuses and I love that [ __ ] because that's the way that we've always approached making music we didn't let anything be an obstacle we believed in ourselves and you know we set to task and here we are 27 years later rocking out with Gary you know what you were writing wrote made sense and you know I finished a questioning book in like two days you know and it just made sense especially being involved social media wise yeah and knowing how to get your brand out there if they'd say you know it's funny to me I always tell people it makes sense like when I when people really didn't believe it the people that it most made sense to were people that went through the machine and made it look at you mm-hmm cuz then you knew how true it was because you knew the disadvantages of having distribution have the leverage instead of the creative right and that's it that's the business there's serendipity and you being here as well if just that was the Machine thank God the right people got eyes on you thank God you had full conviction and we're willing to die in your sore mm but now the same you let's pop that on Soundcloud on YouTube yeah you know build all the leverage that's the get down now a hundred percent so what else is going on the entrepreneur land oh well you got a prop in a table yes and this is actually for you thank you my guy this is one of our Cypress Hill products in the cannabis can this is so crazy to watch cannabis go truly mainstream it obviously there's some federal stuff yes gonna slow it down a little bit but it feels good because I mean you know it validates all the ya know it feels great because I mean you know all the sacrifices that we made in talking about it in the music you know because when we started it was taboo you know especially in hip-hop are you kidding Nancy Reagan just had her run yeah and seriously yeah like literally like I'm telling you right now like you we've talked about it's like I don't smoke her to me literally because of Nancy Reagan my mom completely and utterly bought into that product that she and then push that [ __ ] on me hundred yeah you know so we had opportunities you know leave the table because of our politics in our stance on cannabis and stuff like that so you know to see it now come to fruition everything that we thought could happen and that we believed next 20 years and here we are and you know I know Jack Herer is dancing around wherever he's at in heaven if you believe in that he's probably dancing around celebrating smoking one with some arc angels and whatnot because he's the one that put us down with a lot of the information that would be you know from Russia yeah that we would give out to our fans you know and you know a lot of other artists followed suit now you know you had reggae artists like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh and all those guys those legends yes that were championing the cause but you know I don't think reggae hit mainstream the way hip-hop did and I think that's what that's that was our power is that we had mainstream success with our brand of hip hop did actually had the legalization politics in it which blew it then it caused other artists in hip-hop to follow us and other artists outside of hip-hop you know so everybody watching take it from an old soul who loves to figure out what the seed is that create stuff these guys created the framework of what the mid nineteen late 90 and early 2000 guys and gals talked about they gave permission to the snoops of the world period truth end of story hmm it's just the truth just facts well you know that you you know why you you extended the

rubber band I Tyler's not in here Tyler my admin I you know one of the things I was told he does so much more work in ten hours then he already thought he could write and I'm like well then you love what you do and when you see it and you do it you can stretch the rubber band and it gives you permission to fill that bag right that's what you guys did for a cannabis of marijuana weed you stretched it made it a little less tablet don't forget you guys know this is just a history lessons Len Bias 0 when Len Bias dies America went tight on the ax oh yeah all the kids watching imagine if Kevin Durant gets drafted and three days later dies from cocaine and there's no internet and everybody in the world is just paying attention one story yeah that's what happened that's what and he went to Maryland right in Washington DC Nancy jumped on that scared the [ __ ] out of everybody yeah but I thought if I smoked a cigarette I would die in a spot yeah I mean that between that and magic in 91 with AIDS I was finished I couldn't do anything I was like church boy I was gonna sex drugs I was like no nothing everything was scary everyone's died I don't die yeah the process stuff that stuff sounds real good and that [ __ ] I kind of want it but [ __ ] it I don't wanna die yeah that's what 1988 291 was oh yeah the propaganda machine was rolling so anything against that was like real taboo yeah it was hardcore it was definitely hardcore but you know you still have to push through that to have people see the benefits and I think that that's where we were able to do what can the Vayner community me what would things that we can help you if I feel like you've given so much to like my entertainment escapism and brought so much value anything we can help with anything no enjoy the music man I mean that's the are our first passion that we started with was the music we just put out elephants on passage it's a new body of work that's very trippy dark psychedelic and you know we want people to see this new brand well this new form of an old formula if you will like a upgraded version and I think they're gonna go on a ride with that aside from that we have our dock that we're working out and we're you and me right yeah IndieGoGo campaign on that let's link up the new album and the campaign on this video on Facebook YouTube all that stuff let's do a swipe up if you want to get on the dock swipe it yeah and what's that about how much are you guys raisin on that campaign yeah and you know it's basically to tell our story from A to B yeah every platform yeah for us it's just about telling our story a twosie you know a lot of times the in-between [ __ ] it helped us form what we have today that never gets talked about and you know like our history is show structure yeah so you know we want to give that to our fans and you know we want one touring we just got back from South America Mexico and Canada this whole month we went out and you know if we're gonna keep going at it we got December all the December in Europe yeah and then next February March the United States I mean it's well known you know Cypress Hill wheat or we stay on the road you know we're at the word touring back we think we to harder than any hip hop artists out there so yeah we're gonna be out there with Hollywood Undead in February and March for that particular run after that you know we're just sort of looking for the new dates into the summer and arrests so you know it's a lot of road work for us because still you know we still carry that same mentality got to play in front of people you gotta win them over got to do it and then once he once you do years and you're the consecutively doing that over and over again it kind of gets in your DNA and you have to get out go perform and you've got to hear that Roger you just said that I literally the other day said oh [ __ ] I travel so much now that when I don't I god I'm going through like a detox like it was weird yeah too much time it you know is crazy at first like for us we do so much road work how many days at home are you to say we all have Cypress Hill and everybody has like a site project right I play a power flow he plays in profits yeah and he does history with Rab Matic with Cypress jerky so you know at any given time we could begin afresh yeah it could be like maybe six to seven months of roadwork and then the rest you know it just sort of spur at anything I can answer for you guys before we bounce here um more like selfish like not look for content like anything I can you know oh man now we're
