I Ain't Goin' Out Like That

"I Ain't Goin' Out Like That" is a song by American hip hop group Cypress Hill, released in December 1993 by Ruffhouse and Columbia as the third single from their second studio album, Black Sunday (1993). During a scheduled Saturday Night Live performance, the song was cut short and the group was banned after DJ Muggs lit up a cannabis joint on-air just before the song. It contains a sample of the opening bars (played on a harmonica) from Black Sabbath's song "The Wizard". It was revealed that the band was high on mushrooms when this final track of the album was recorded.[1]
