It’s finally happened. Wednesday night saw the Cypress Hill – LSO team-up that was predicted in a Simpsons episode way back in the 1990s, as the LA rappers performed their classic 1993 album Black Sunday with a full orchestra at the Albert Hall.
For those who are too young or simply don’t remember, the joke was featured in the Homerpalooza episode from 1996 in which Homer tries to impress Lisa and Bart by going to the Hullapalooza festival. As you’d expect from the Simpsons there were cameos a-plenty and aside from Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Peter Frampton, Courtney Love and indeed Cypress Hill.
