"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]

Critical reception

Pete Stanton from Smash Hits gave "We Ain't Goin' Out Like That" four out of five, adding, "This tune is more pumping beats and jump-up-and-down raps."[2]

Cover versions

In 1996, the song was covered by 16Volt for the electro-industrial various artists compilation Operation Beatbox.[3]

In popular culture

"We Ain't Goin' Out Like That" was used in the superhero film Blue Beetle.[4]
