I'll say top 5 for the 90's.
Dude, the 90's was the strongest era in rap. We're talking Wu-Tang, Outkast, Biggie ,Nas, Tupac, Bone, Snoop, Death Row, No Limit, and Cash Money. I can't see Cypress Hill cracking the top 10 of the 90's.

I respectfully disagree. I agree with rap being strong in 90's, but Cypress Hill to me is top 10, definitely top 15.

I have no problem with calling them top 25, and that's not an insult. I love Cypress Hill. I feel the same way about Beastie Boys. One of my favorite groups, but they're not in the same lyrical league as Wu-Tang or Andre 3000.

Im sure cypress hill pops up on the beastie pandora channel. very similar niche. granted, the beasties sampling and overall creativity was on another planet comparitively. Top 25 is fair tho, and yea that's no slight considering it was raps h olden age

That was a little tongue in cheek back at the OP b/c I wasn't sure if he was serious or not b/c he never is. 
But I do like Black Sunday. and you should be ashamed of yourself putting bone and No limit and Cash Money artists in the same sentence as the others. But that's about when I stopped listening to any hip-hop/rap. It just wasnt' appealing anymore.

The reason they're important in overall hip hop culture is that they were a huge crossover group with a wide fanbase. They were also, as far as I can remember, the first rappers to just come out and have marijuana smoking be a large part of their image. They were definitely the first ones to have such huge commercial success.
This, then, imo allowed Dre to make the Chronic and Snoop to be so pro-pot with Doggystyle. Without Cypress Hill taking a leap and making it okay to endorse pot, neither of those albums comes out, imo.

Temples of Boom is a great album too. Doesn't have the aura of Black Sunday, but nonetheless, still a great album.
