Cypress Hill released I Want to Get High in 1993 as a single from their second album, Black Sunday, and its relaxed chorus quickly became one of the group's signature moments. The track's mellow West Coast sound helped define the era's hip-hop, and the hook has lived on far beyond the original record. As short-form video and soundboards grew, creators began lifting just the chorus for jokes, edits and nostalgic clips, keeping the line familiar to listeners who may never have heard the full song.

The hook from Cypress Hill's I Want to Get High, with a laid-back vocal over a hazy beat. Creators use it for stoner jokes and chill rap edits.
This short clip captures the instantly recognisable hook from Cypress Hill's I Want to Get High, built around a relaxed, almost drawling vocal delivery that repeats the title over a slow, smoky hip-hop groove. The beat feels hazy and unhurried, with a deep bassline and a laid-back rhythm that gives the vocal plenty of room to breathe. Hearing it immediately sets a mellow, cheeky mood, signalling that something laid-back, mischievous or a little bit hazy is about to happen, which is why it lands so well as a punchline or a scene-setter in short videos.
