Black Sheep - A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

  • Black Sheep

    A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing LP (1991)

    Mercury

Black Sheep burst on to the hip hop scene in 1991, sworn in members of the Native Tongue collective with the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, and De La Soul. They did not disappoint, adhering to tongue standards delivering intelligent, some-what comedic, satirical lyrics over crispy crate dug samples. The group enjoyed a modicum of success with their debut A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing relinquishing old school classics like "The Choice Is Yours", "Strobelite Honey", and "Similak Child".  Their 1994 follow up Non-Fiction introduced a darker, harder edged sound that didn't fair as well with critics, but is considered by hip hop diehards to be a slept on classic.
