Subject: Cypress Hill name origin
Just wondering... does anyone know where the name "cypress hill" came from? Does it have a meaning or does it just mean a hillfull of cypressess..? (Doubt that, but I'd still like to know).

according to a website I found:
The band has already existed since 1985. At that time they were called DVX (Devastating Vocal Excellence), a kind of prototype of Cypress Hill.
Sen Dog, B-Real and DJ Muggs named themselves after Cypress Avenue which runs across South Central in Los Angeles. At that time they lived in the Southgate area of South Central on the westcoast of California. Mostly Chicanos and Latinos lived in the area. The band has no typical east- or westcoast sound although Cypress Hill is coming from the westcoast.
