Black Sheep - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing 25th Anniversary Today

[Deltron]

One of the most underrated duos, with a fantastic debut album.

Made a couple threads on them yesterday:

I had this cassette tape.

And, yeah, I bought this record on the strength of "Flavor of the Month" (the first single, I believe), not "The Choice is Yours".

Great album!

Album was sooooo damn fantastic. It holds up too. Dres was THE MAN. Boggles the mind that the second album was trash. I still play this album a lot. And it still inspires and impresses me.

I had a dream that I was....hard.

I actually liked the second album but it was a pretty bold 180 in terms of tone, it was a lot darker and militant.

Great album!

Still have mine, in mint condition, along with a couple of hundred tapes in a box and a few which are special to me in my fireproof box, I think 5 of them in there
