a pioneer and founding member of the group Cypress Hill.

and were the first Latino group to go platinum in rap.

not only is B-Real still touring and recording music,

he's also an entrepreneur, media host and an activist.

Do you remember what your first hip-hop memory was?

it was an AM station, and they were the only ones

playing hip-hop music on the radio in Los Angeles,

♪ Here we come, here we come, ♪ ♪ here we kitty-come-come. ♪

♪ Come on, everybody, ♪ ♪ let's all get down. ♪

♪ What we have ♪ ♪ is a brand-new sound. ♪

I thought, “What the [expletive] is this?

That was the first thing that, like, punched me in the face

of what was going on when Sen Dog and Muggs

while they were still trying to pursue the passion

They felt like, you know, it was their duty

you know, you're either going to prison or in the grave.

Music and those guys pretty much saved my life.

I felt like, you know, we had to come with a message

that was making people aware of what was going on,

I mean, I've lost friends, you know, that were close to me

whether it's a rival or a police officer.

You guys kinda became celebrities pretty quickly.

over the top and gave it extra life and extra boost

was the fact that Chuck D. and the Bomb Squad

were putting together the music for the movie "Juice,"

and then that movie blew that song up out of the water

and, hello, Cypress Hill, to everybody at that point.

we went from being able to go to the mall

I did not realize what that song would do,

what it would do for us and how it would change our lives.

♪ Here is something ♪ ♪ you can't understand. ♪

Your voice is one of the  most distinctive in music.

They said, "You'd better come up with something,

or you're going to be writing raps for Sen Dog.”

We're all big fans of this rapper named Rammellzee.

You know, he had this crazy style where he'd be rapping like this,

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah. [imitates low pitch]

Then he'd come all the way up here.  [imitates high pitch]

And I said, “OK, I'm going to try to pitch my voice like him."

♪ To da one on da flam. ♪ ♪ Boy, it's tough. ♪

♪ I just toss that ham ♪ ♪ in the frying pan like Spam. ♪
