Engine engine number #9 on da New York transit line, when yo train goes of the track, PICK IT UP PICK IT UP PICK IT UP!!! BCK ON DA SCENE, CRISPY & CLEAN!!! Great album!!! And one I also owned as well…
Found the Old School School Hip Hop genre around the age 13, I'm 17 now and I've never looked back this is my calling and I'm glad my curiosity brought me here.
Always loved this jam .. happy I found it on RUclips I remember this song was so under rated cuz by this time Wu-Tang , Biggie, BlackMoon , Nas was bringing a more raw sound at the time....this is still one of my favorite Black Sheep songs tho.....
You mean gangsta shit lol. Around this time the more progressive artists were getting silenced in the favour of pretty dark nihilistic shit. Consequently I think that sowed the seeds in hip hop for where we are now.
LOUNGE RAP new york rap vibe has always sounded consistent to me over the years, it just seemed there was always another variant going on elsewhere at different moments on the timeline - from miami to los angeles to cleveland to memphis to new orleans to st louis to houston to atlanta to chicago. I think of this era as New York’s Lounge Era of Rap,
@nmarcus7233 I partly agree with you, but I think the reason the song didn't do as well is because it wasn't as musically intriguing as it could've been. If you think of The Choice, it had that bass line that grabbed you the second the record came on. There's nothing in this song that just grabs you and pulls you song whether you want to go or not. So, it could have completed better...even alongside the likes of everything else at the time. Production just wasn't there.
Nah !!! Their first Album was Crazy. They dropped the ball by changing their style on the second album. Don't get me wrong, it was okay but their first was the best and I am still a big fan of Black Sheep.
elroy facey true indeed fam,I graduated from high school that year,all banging debut albums that year from Nas,Method Man,Jeru tha Damaja,Outkast.Notorious B.I.G.,Warren G.,Casual,Gravediggaz,etc.,people should really Google Hip Hop albums of 1994, and just see how many classic lps came out all in one year,a truly phenomenal year for rap and music of any genre
The first Black Sheep album was amazing front to back - such good samples and memorable tracks. I got Non Fiction as soon as it came out and did my best to try and get into it over the next several months, but it just did not hit at all like Wolf In Sheep's Clothing. Never listened to the album again after those first few months, but I still bump the first album all the time.
I love this honest feedback. I was 19 when this song came out. I thought it was cool, but it didn't inspire me to want to hear the second album. Reading the comments on any old school rap song is a love fest. People act like the 90s could do no wrong. Honestly, there were mid and bad songs back then too. And this song happens to be one of them.
yep 93 was my senior year in high school I used to rock the baggy jeans with the rugby polos, v neck sweaters, champion sweatshirts, air maxI. etc etc... life was fun this song makes me feel transported in time 🎶 🎤
Dope to see Mista Lawnge and Dres equally trading bars on this track! Definitely agree with what many have already said….Black Sheep was highly underrated!! Flavor of the Month is still my favorite track from them after all of these years!
Yoooo!!! I was thinking that Shit yesterday b!!! I had no idea Black Sheep dropped an album in 07', and I was like, "you know, dres got a lil Treach flow or vice versa'...

I've never heard it, but it's crazy that Black Sheep was red hot with A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, then nobody cared about the follow-up just three years later.
@@rcole718 Because they changed their Rap Style. A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing was a little more in your Face type of Album, their Second was more Radio Friendly.

Without a doubt.
I really miss the 90's music. The vibe was unmatchable compared to the music of today.
Skateboarding getting stoned listening to this track back then.... good times!
93-94 best years of hip hop when it peaked .. real heads know.
Preach
87-97 best decade ever
88-95 in my opinion sir.

The golden age of Hip Hop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"If you need that golden age Hip-Hop, I GOTCHU

@@elenaofavalormoanadisneypr6893 Nope, this song even came out 1 year before Put It On
@@elenaofavalormoanadisneypr6893 Isley brothers .. Highway of Life...came out in the early 70s
This song never gets old.
MC’n a lost art! There are a whole lot of rapper’s in this generation, BUT VERY FEW MASTERS OF CEREMONIES!! Hip-Hop lives forever to us who know!
This is golden. My head just can't help banging with a broad smile.
Luv that isley brother sample in the chorus. This song is made chill. Never heard it before.
Dres has superior rhyme and articulation skills. SMH. super underrated.
Good stuff miss these guys back then in their prime....nothing was better than 90's hip hop.
Love the Isley Brothers sample !!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 this was always one of my favorite tracks!

90's is the Golden Era!
Yeap that was hip hop 1992 1993 1994 was hot years for hip hop miss them years
forever love for black sheep, extremely creative group, great beats, atmosphere ..totally in line with the jb's, atcq and de la soul.
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is a classic as far as im concerned.
1994 was my Golden Year in Hip-Hop for me without a doubt!!!
Moose S. Yes great year for me 93 to 97 the top of hip-hop !!
GOD I MISS THE 90S SWAG. so laid back
When your 40 somethin year old Uncle bangs this at the bbq
Mid-30’s Tio still bumping the True school .
Yes..So true. I know cause I am that 40 something year old uncle...LOL
I remember getting my first CD/tape deck radio in Christmas '94 and bought this single.
The Isley Brothers ~~~ The Highway Of My Life.

M Rodriguez this beat is smooth as fuck

Yessss
RIP Michael Lucero - one of the dopest hip hop music video directors ever.
Black Sheep with the extra chilly most track from way back!!
I used to listen to this song with my sister. Pick me up from school in 89 240sx
so glad they used Salaams Mix imstead of the original
Probably my favorite Black Sheep song.
Same ‼️
Nah !!! Their first Album was Crazy. They dropped the ball by changing their style on the second album. Don't get me wrong, it was okay but their first was the best and I am still a big fan of Black Sheep.
Lawnge actually rapping more on this album made it so much better. The first album was great but needed him on more tracks.
SHAO 73O his flow is dope on this. Smooth as fuck
this may seem like a dumb statement... BUT THIS IS WHAT 1994 SOUNDED LIKE mmmmm the best year of hip hop
agreed

must be a street hoodlum
Who must be?
Love the Isley Brothers sample 😊
What song by the Isley Brothers was sample, cause i thought this was a Joe Sample sample. Fly On The Wings of Love ?
I love RUclips. The only place I can find every song I loved and defined my life coming up.
Hip+Hop=Higher Infinite Power Healing Our People...🎯💪🔥🖤
Another Salaam Remi production!!
I miss that ole Native Tongues flavour
Memories. DAMN!
Released today 12/6/94, the second album from Black Sheep - Non-Fiction.
My 💩🔥
One of the most slept on Hip-Hop albums of all time.
Still got this CD! NC A&T 1994. Beautiful women and living life in the eyes of a young kid! So sad this duo broke up over b.s.
definitely..i'd even say Non-Fiction improves on the debut
Thunder rolls...❤ 1:06

"I catch wreck more than Godzilla" . That beat though.. eargasm
I miss them days so much
I'm listening to this just like was in the 90's miss this era daaaaaayum
Black Sheep Forever
Huge fan of this dope beat. They was hella smooth on this track!
Dope to see Mista Lawnge and Dres equally trading bars on this track! Definitely agree with what many have already said….Black Sheep was highly underrated!! Flavor of the Month is still my favorite track from them after all of these years!
Hehe...this was my shit back in 1995
Steady rotation on Rap City.
i feel sorry for kids who didn't get to experience this era of hip hop!
Smooth as silk beat and lyrics hit hard. Underrated as F@ck
What a tune, classic, can't find it on deezer
Such a banger. Classic.
Superdope Track Old School Era 💯% Thesewerethedayz...
See, this was when hip-hop was so much fun. Then, around '98, it just became dark and gruesome. What the hell happened?
I would say 96 was the start but yah 98 just got raunchy! LOL That's when corporations saw that they could make lots of $$$
Damn 1994.. Memories this a smooth track
Tears man tears😭😭😭
'90s hip-hop are all that!!
Best time in Hip Hop 🔥, too bad I wasn't born😕
yup SALAAM REMI production
How tf do I remember this hook? lol
Been in my head for a min
Classic.still hot n 2018
I’m 43 and I still bump to this jam
In 1995 my mother gave as gift a CD Yo Raps from MTV and it has this song. I really like this song here from Brazil.
Flow's insane......Real Hip-Hop Kid
dam... so smooth, but get you so hype at the same time.. taking you back to good times and memories
Good ol' shit.
Nice Salaam work.
Black Sheep was HUGE @HBCUs back then (90s) didn't hit the streets like it should have. College students were their biggest fan base in my opinion
I miss the 90s
CLASSIC IMMORTAL DOPE SONG!
Black Sheep kept it 💯
It's MFUKIN FLOWER TIME!!! Bouquets after Bouquet 💐 💐💐💐
This like an oldy but a goody (obg) can't believe that it has been that long ago
fuck I'm getting old lmao!!
Loved this Track heavy ROTATION on the tape Deck
Essa musica me faz chorar...mexe com meus sentimentos..eu volto pra uma época feliz da minha vida...
Black sheep mood turned on🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
あんなにヒップホップがもてはやされた頃に不協和音から始まるのがビックリしました‼︎
当時DJさんに人気があったようですが知らないですって言われて悲しかった😢
He sound like what it would sound like if Treach was part of The Native Tongues.
Yoooo!!! I was thinking that Shit yesterday b!!! I had no idea Black Sheep dropped an album in 07', and I was like, "you know, dres got a lil Treach flow or vice versa'...
カッコ良すぎませんか。。👏👏🔥🔥
