Smokin' MC B-Real and his Cypress Hill compatriots hosted their third annual Smoke Out festival on Saturday at the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernadino, California.

The event brought out a diverse lineup of some 50 artists including Xzibit, Redman, System Of A Down, Gang Starr, Pennywise, Long Beach Dub All-Stars, DJ Tony Touch, 311, and the Funky Tekno Tribe.

from everybody else." [RealVideo][/article]

One of those differences is the festival's annual surprise "4:20" act, with Limp Bizkit filling the slot this year (though the group did not appear onstage at the traditional smoke-'em-if-you-got-'em time). The festival's previous surprise acts include Everlast and Fear Factory in 1999 and Black Eyed Peas in 1998.

Next up on Cypress Hill's itinerary is a road trip with the Offspring and MxPx, which kicks off on November 17 in Anaheim, California.
