En los soleados vecindarios de Long Beach, California, nació una banda única que dejaría una marca indeleble en la música. Sublime se formó en 1988, fusionando el punk rock y el reggae para crear un sonido distintivo y rompedor. La banda estaba compuesta por Bradley Nowell en la guitarra y voz, Eric Wilson en el bajo y Bud Gaugh en la batería.
Desde sus humildes inicios tocando en fiestas y bares locales, Sublime rápidamente comenzó a ganar seguidores gracias a su energía inigualable y letras provocadoras.
La música de Sublime es una mezcla ecléctica de diversos géneros, incluyendo ska, reggae, punk y hip-hop. Sus letras a menudo abordan temas como el amor, las drogas, el racismo y la vida callejera en una ciudad costera de California.
Sublime se distinguía por la habilidad única de Bradley Nowell para mezclar géneros aparentemente dispares en canciones que eran tanto melódicas como llenas de actitud. Esto les permitió conectar con una amplia gama de oyentes y crear una base de fans diversa y dedicada.
El primer álbum de estudio de la banda, "40oz. to Freedom" (1992), fue lanzado bajo el sello independiente Skunk Records. Este trabajo inicialmente pasó desapercibido pero ganó tracción con singles como "Smoke Two Joints" y "Badfish".
En 1994, Sublime lanzó su segundo álbum, "Robbin' the Hood". Aunque este disco no tuvo un impacto comercial significativo en su momento, sigue siendo una joya cult,

Summertime and the living's easy
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras M.G
Our people in the dance will agree that we're
Well qualified to represent the L.B.C
Me, me and Louie, we gon'
Run to the party, dance to the rhythm that gets harder
[Snoop Dogg]
Yeah, D-O-Double G
From the strong beach, the wrong beach
The Long Beach
[Verse 1: Bradley Nowell]
Me and my girl
We got this relationship
I love her so bad
But she treats me like
On lock down like a penitentiary
She spreads her lovin' all over and when she gets home
There's none left for me
[Hook]
[Snoop Dogg]
Snoop D-O-Double G
From the strong beach, the wrong beach
Fool, the Long Beach
[Verse 2: Bradley Nowell]
Oh, take this veil from off my eyes
My burning sun will someday rise
What am I gonna be doin' for a while?
Said I'm gonna play with myself
Show them now how we'vecome off the shelf
So what
[Hook]
[Snoop Dogg]
Snoop D-O-Double G all

Evil, I've come to tell you that she's evil, most definitely
Evil, ornery, scandalous, and evil
Most definately
The tension is getting hotter
I'd like to hold her head underwater
[Verse 3: Snoop Dogg]
Summertime on the grind, still down for mine
Ain't no quittin', hard hittin' with the homie Sublime
Worldwide, small world, boy, girl, you got to deal with this
Precious in your profession, we're stressin', that's the lesson
I don't practice Santeria, but I'm a G
Comin' from that mad ass L.B.C
Three, two, one
One, two, three
We all qualified to represent the L.B.C
[Outro: Bradley Nowell]
Take a tip, take a tip
Take a ti-ti-ti-tip from me
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras M.G
Our people in the dance will agree that we
Well qualified to represent the L.B.C
Me, la-la Louie
While everybody run to the party
Run to the rhythm, it gets harder
[Snoop Dogg]
Snoop D-O-Double G
From the Long Beach, the wrong beach
Yeah, the strong beach
