Synopsis

Cypress Hill perform "Insane In The Brain" before a packed crowd at San Francisco's DNA Lounge. The video captures the group in a chaotic club setting, with B-Real and Sen Dog delivering the verses amid flashing lights, rapid cuts, psychedelic color effects, skull imagery, and shots of marijuana use. The combination of live-show energy and hallucinatory visuals creates a deliberately unruly atmosphere that mirrors the track's aggressive delivery, dark humor, and celebration of altered states.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was filmed at San Francisco's DNA Lounge in 1993, giving it the feel of a genuine club performance rather than a conventional studio production.
  • Strobing lights, color treatments, skulls, skeletons, and marijuana imagery reinforce the song's reputation as one of Cypress Hill's most overtly psychedelic and cannabis-centered releases.
  • "Insane In The Brain" was the first single from the group's second album, *Black Sunday*. It reached No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the US rap chart.
  • The song became one of Cypress Hill's signature tracks and later appeared in the "Homerpalooza" episode of *The Simpsons*, helping extend its reach beyond hip-hop audiences.
  • The video's raw club setting and deliberately exaggerated imagery helped establish the visual language associated with Cypress Hill during the early 1990s.

Lyrics

Who you tryin' to get crazy with ese?
Don't you know I'm loco?

To the one on the
flamboyant tip, just toss that ham
In the fryin' pan
Like spam
Feel done when I come in slam
Damn
I feel like the son of sam
Don't make me wreck shit hectic
Next to the chair got me goin' like General Electric
EEEN!
