- 1992 Live performance from Yo! MTV Raps Spring Break.
Song from 1991 album "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing"...(Click "show more" for artist info)..
Black Sheep was a hip hop duo from Queens, New York, composed of Andres "Dres" Vargas Titus and William "Mista Lawnge" McLean. The duo was from New York but met as teenagers in Sanford, North Carolina, where both of their families relocated. The group was an affiliate of the Native Tongues, which included the Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, and De La Soul. After getting together in 1989, Black Sheep debuted in 1991 with the hit song "Flavor of the Month" and later released its first album, A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, which gained them praise and recognition in the hip-hop community for the album's unique rhythms and intelligent lyrics. After six years together, Black Sheep disbanded in 1995, citing creative differences.
Black Sheep was formed in 1989 by Andres "Dres" Vargas Titus and William "Mista Lawnge" McLean. Black Sheep was the first hip-hop act to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after the departure of Johnny Carson.
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing charted three times on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1992 with "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)" (#9), and "Strobelite Honey" (#1). Black Sheep was also featured on the remix of Vanessa Williams's single "Work to Do" (#8). The group's relationship with its label, Mercury/PolyGram, allowed Dres to establish a boutique label through which he could sign his own acts. Mercury distributed the imprint, which was called One Love, through PolyGram's Independent Label Sales division rather than PolyGram Group Distribution. However, only one full-length title was ever released, the only album by affiliated act the Legion, titled Theme + Echo = Krill (One Love/Mercury/PolyGram Records 124 029), from 1994.
The group's second album, Non-Fiction, was released later that year. Because of virtually no promotion and a generally poor reception, the album managed only lackluster sales.
Dres was featured on the second Handsome Boy Modeling School album White People, on the track "First...and Then." In 2006, Dres released an online-only album titled 8WM/Novakane. 8WM stands for Women with Women with Weed with Wine with Me. According to AllHipHop.com, Mista Lawnge has changed the spelling of his name to Mr. Long. He also released a solo project called “The Class of 89” in 2006. Dres appeared on the 1990s remix of Nas' February 2007 song "Where are They Now?"
In 2008, the single "The Choice is Yours (Revisited)" was ranked number #73 on VH1's 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs. The song was featured in a commercial for the 2010 Kia Soul.
you know you're baddass when Cypress Hill come out to be your dancers
I'm crying cause this was pure energy and make me good vibes😭😭😭😭 what a great years the 90's.
This was MTV Spring Break 92. Hip hop was my life back then as a 14 year old white kid besides my Friends, girls and sports. It’s was Tribe, Black Sheep, Cypress Hill, Naughty, LONS, and Nice n Smooth all there-basically some of greatest groups of all time in one show
BIG FACTS!! A great time to be teen in hip hop!
😊WOW! Yes, I think we we’re the same age! I remember being 13,& first discovered hiphop! Recording everything from MTV to my vcr! 🫶🏼
After they did the Engine Engine No. 9 part, I knew the crowd was going to explode on the drop. Damn, boy. Shit they did!
Man, listen!!! I miss those days. I definitely used to.
This whole event was dope....the Tribe performance, Busta getting his solo shine... Leaders of the new school, the freestyle w/ Ed lover, B Real etc... great times
Back when hip hop was creative, original and just flat out dope.
Hip hip was the very fabric of our lives...greatest era of all-time....90s
That energy was 💯
This was such a great era of hip hop!! I used to wear hella baggy jeans, Polo rugby shirts, air maxes! It was just a fun time.
Legit - We'd get down to the ground just like that, and "pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!" We did it at the clubs and at parties, and it was always high energy like this! No fights, nobody beefin', just coming together, all races and colors to enjoy true hip-hop. I miss those days.
ABSOLUTE TRUTH!!!
WE HAD SO MUCH FUN,,,,REAL HIP HOP THE MUSIC THE ENERGY WAS JUST AMAZING!!!

This generation is not hyped like my generation X. Shows are dead these days when the dopest acts perform everyone In the audience is nodding out on drugs, lean, heroin or has no energy.
Black Sheep stay with rap group has talk very Lot of drugs in rap songs (Cypress Hill) 😂.
@@B4squeTb0lista323Mex Brilliant!!!😂👍🏾
@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 The 2 rap groups are really good, but Cypress really talks lot about drugs and Gangsta Rap.
Eternal
real hip hop!!
but.i like 「Flavor of the mouth」
Aunque es raro ver a Black Sheep y Cypress Hill en el mismo escenario (sabiendo que los dos grupos tienen un rap muy diferente) es de lo mejor que un fan del rap pueda llegar a ver en su vida 👌🏻.
Cierto pero faltó que hubiesen rapeado juntos...
u can feel the vibe
👏👏👏👏👏
The reason I have knee issues now. 😂
👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾🖤
I still remember when tribe and leaders were out there and Busta mic didn't work he had to use someone else's
I like this era of hip hop and rap, no flexing of riches and no showing of boobs
