3:21 I always wondered this 10 years later when people started saying it, after Black Sheep had long faded out. I asked Chat GPT, of course. Haha The line "Engine, engine number nine, on the New York transit line, if my train falls off the track, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up" from the song "The Choice Is Yours" by Black Sheep is an interpolation of a traditional children's rhyme. The original rhyme typically goes: "Engine, engine, number nine, going down Chicago line, if the train falls off the track, do you want your money back?" Black Sheep adapted and popularized the rhyme within their hip-hop context, giving it a unique twist with references to the New York transit system and adding the energetic repetition. The use of familiar rhymes and phrases is common in hip-hop, often serving to connect with listeners through shared cultural references and to add a playful or nostalgic element to the music. For more details, you can read about the song's lyrics and background on various music and lyrics sites.
New Jack Swing was a pop sonic/style trend in the late 80's/Early 90's Bobby Brown, Bev Biv Denoe, Colour Me Bad, and of course Jodeci and its child Blackstreet.Colour Me Badd was also NJS. Ain't life grand when you find everting around is soulless? Life is far more fascinating the hue color prejudged universe.
