Hip-hop’s heroes of hydro, Cypress Hill, may have raided their Temple of Boom to produce 10 albums in the past two decades, even going dubstep with help from British DJ Rusko, but this is not the reason the quartet is playing Times Square’s 2,000-seat Best Buy Theater. A quick glance at three of their top songs on Spotify reveals the key theme, which surely you’ll pick up on from track names like “Hits From the Bong,” “I Wanna Get High,” and “Insane in the Brain” with its classic line, “Like Louie Armstrong play the trumpet, I’ll hit that bong.” Who says weed affects people’s memory?
