House of Pain
One of my favorite musical acts of all time and I still listen to this very day is the Irish hip-hop trio known as the House of Pain.
House of Pain consists of lead rapper Everlast, emcee Danny Boy and the amazing DJ Lethal although Lethal was of Latvian descent.
They were one of the best things going in music throughout the 1990s and I enjoyed every single of them. Though I was young during their run, I was introduced to them thanks in large part to being around my big brother Cody and his friends and I have enjoyed House of Pain ever since.
One of best shots out there and it is still being played to this very day is the song Jump Around which was one their debut album House of Pain (Fine Malt Lyrics) back in 1992. I really love this song and it never gets old no matter how many times people play it.
However, what I will say gets old is how people call House of Pain a one hit wonder. In my humble opinion, they have had some many amazing songs that it is criminal that people don't know about them. Heck, their debut album only had some many incredible songs outside of Jump Around. Songs like Shamrocks and Shenanigans, Top of the Morning to Ya, Come and Get some of this, Life goes on, etc.
House of Pain had three albums during their run. And the songs are those albums are amazing too!
My personal favorite song was On Point (Lethal Remix) although the original version was amazing as well. I also liked the Have Nots song and also the Who's The Man but then again, I enjoyed all of their songs really lol.
They did manage to come together in another awesome rap group called La Coka Nostra for a period and I really enjoyed that as well and introduced me to some awesome talents like Slaine and Ill Bill.
Also, if it wasn't for House of Pain, I wouldn't have found out about other groups like Cypress Hill and even not hip-hop groups like Helmet.
Today all three members are out there doing amazing things and works and I pray for all of them to find continued success.
I also want to thank House of Pain for helping me fall in love with music and writing and creating art and being able to express myself in artistic ways. And proud of my Irish heritage 😁! But more importantly, I would love to see one more House of Pain album drop! One can only hope 🙏🙏🙏
God Bless you House of Pain!
