Description
Get on Down is proud to present A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing, the classic debut album by Black Sheep, available on double vinyl. Often humorous (Strobelite Honey), often serious (Black with No N.V (No Vision), Black Sheep were able to craft an album that displayed their witty sensibilities while also staying conscious in true Native Tongue form. From the moment the album starts with Prince Paul introducing the lowlifes of the family tree you know you are in for something special….and different. Mista Lawnges's production is every bit as textured as fellow counterparts Tribe or De La, while standing out as being completely original and fresh. Tracks like Butt in the Meantime, Try Counting Sheep and La Menage (Featuring Q Tip) are great examples of the duos original style - complex layered beats (everything from Jazz, Soul and Rock all meshed together perfectly) to compliment Dres' distinct voice and wordplay. Singles like Flavor of the Month and The Choice is Yours were perfect examples of the group's style and chemistry. With other standout album cuts like For Those That Slept and To Who It May Concern it seemed as if they had an endless bag of treats, each offering something different while preserving the group's style.
Polar opposite to what other groups at the time were doing, Black Sheep hit a home run with their debut that few hip hop acts would ever reach.
