From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"How I Could Just Kill a Man" is the debut single by Latin hip hop group Cypress Hill from their self titled album and was their first major hit in 1991. It was released as a double A-side to "The Phuncky Feel One" and the music video featured cameos by A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip and Ice Cube, with whom B-Real would later feud. It was re-released in 1999 with Spanish lyrics and a new video. It is featured as the first track on their greatest hits compilation "Greatest Hits From the Bong". The song was also featured on the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, appearing on the West Coast hip hop station Radio Los Santos. It was voted #79 in the 100 Greatest Rap Songs.
Towards the end of the song (approximately the last 25 seconds) someone is heard saying, "All I wanted was a Pepsi". This quote is taken from the well-known Suicidal Tendencies song, "Institutionalized".
[edit] Rage Against the Machine version
The song was famously covered by rock band Rage Against the Machine on their cover album, Renegades. Rage Against the Machine performed the song live along with Cypress Hill on their DVD, Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium.
