Cypress Hill always had something of a rock crossover and the Skull & Bones double-album capitalised on that, with one disc showcasing their hip-hop style and the other exploring nu-metal territory.
“The first song for the album was (Rock) Superstar, which B-Real wrote. The album got sent to our label and Mr. Don Ienner, the legendary label head from New York, he heard that song and went, ‘First of all put some guitars on this song and get Sen Dog on it.’ And he was right. So from there when that song came out so good, a double-album started coming up. So we went and got Christian Olde Wolbers, who's also in Powerflo, and Dino Cazares was on there, and they wrote us some jams. It happened organically because if Donnie hadn't come up with the idea of putting guitars on that one song, who knows how it would have turned out? It was a piece of genius on his part that got that album rocking.”
