@MrBotty1975 Dres was not with the Flava Unit. That was Queen Latifah...

He was down with Jungle Brothers.

[MrBotty1975]

@MsNJLove "Roll Wit Da Flavor"? Flavor Unit? Sure thats Dres on the last verse.

[2Phaktor]

[FullmetaljacketJ]

Wanna hear a joke? 2011 music.

[kbw1970]

This is the 20 year anniversary of this classic! Who's still rockin this?

[jliles27]

I guess people's minds are getting narrower and narrower...yes, this track is about the same things that present rappers convey...but in way that makes you think about it..These guys put double the time into their work and make half the money, but in the end, they are hip hop hall of fame, the present rappers couldn't even spell it

[seanatin07]

[ImMik3yBiitch]

Man "Saints Row" Brought Me To This One

[RoKr93]

damn. i'm a guitar player myself and i really love some good rock. generally i hate rap and hip hop these days but i've listened to all these black sheep songs and others from the 90s and wow. this is some sick stuff. intelligent, catchy, great rhyming, sick beat. just awesome. i wish rappers these days would do stuff like this.

[themiguelman]

@RoKr93 90s hiphop is the best... and its still around today. you just gotta search for it. i hope it comes back, lupe is super sick and kid cudi is cool too

[God11Like]

One thing I realized from listening to the golden era of hip hop and this era of "rap" (and I use the term rap loosely), back then every single song in the album was perfected and it was all epic songs, but now punk ass rappers release one or two songs that are catchy and rest of the album sounds unfinished and sounds like shit. It's all about making the most money not for the love of music which is sad.

[UBZUKI]

GOLDEN ERA...

[mj75mj75]

1 person is obviously lost.....

[convictPKlol]

[Kellogs43able]

real hip hop used to be this good...but then it got clear channelled and illuminati-ed...

the old days can come back, it can happen..

[Ginga]

Dres is so underrated.

[Flavourliciousss]

[TTAM27hipHOP]

@heylover3 yes, hot fire...

[cabov12]

this is real!! word!

[ezzydric]

probably my favorite track right in front of strobelite honey on this black sheep album but the album is kinda whack

its only got 5 solid good songs everything else is irrelevent to their native tounge style

which disappoints me. i had such high expectations when i coped this album. i thought it was going to be as raw as a tribe album but it was far from that. i give em mad props for this track tho

[mjn76]

I don't think there was a bad track on this entire album.

[truck5145]

this is good RAP. NOT TALKING ABOUT BITCHES KILLING OR HOW HAS THE BIGGEST RIMS ON THEIR CAR.BRING IT BAACK.

[MacroKnight]

yes yur right

[slaughterhouseboyzTV]

@truck5145 Wtf juss cause you aint got rims like my nigga soulja dont be hatin

[Scratch5555]

@slaughterhouseboyzTV <--- bad troll is bad

[blake130981]

@slaughterhouseboyzTV rofl @ u

[crhymes104]

@truck5145

well they were talking about "bitches" the fact is that is had flavor and creativity 

[tgreersf]

@truck5145 you kidding me... the song's about bitches. And how he always had money

[tidaking816]

@tgreersf Close, but the song is REALLY about Black Sheep's career. They talk about believing in themselves when nobody else did, and how people slept on them before as opposed to *now* (when he wrote the song) where Black Sheep is "the flavor of the month". That's where the talk of money and bitches comes from. But that's a fraction of the song's true meaning. It's all in the lyrics, you just have to take it for more than surface value.

[mjn76]

@tgreersf I think the 2nd verse strongly hints the intent behind the song: "Had to wait a while but the while has been watied / Never gave up hope in myself no debated / Didn't shed a tear when I wasn't picked, cause I got a cone now / Want a lick?"

Seems like the song is more about the struggle involved in attaining success while trying to maintain faith in yourself.

[mjn76]

@tgreersf The third verse touches on rejection and how the music industry perhaps didn't recognize their musical talent early on: "Funny how they find ya when they told ya 'Get lost...' / Wasn't my loss / Thought you were the boss / You never knew how much the sherbet cost!"

The folks who rejected him now can't seem to get enough:

"I see em with a spoon. I see 'em with a cone..."

Maybe Dres foresees their eventual decline in popularity:

"Hurry up and get a scoop before it's gone."

[temp9747]

@truck5145  u trollin bro...?

[medaswho]

blacksheep isn't underated cause everyone where I live was a fan of them.this was abig single in its time.they just aren't out anymore,things change.they came out put out a couple lp's first was tha best like most artist.they put chi ali on and got out of the industry

[DamnIwannafck232]

the onlty channel that plays actual hip hop is channel 806 it plays hip hop classics its a comcast cable channel and idk if the channel is different for other people who live outside of florida

[UFFIEH]

black sheep...best!

[TheDavemccollom1]

Underrated band. I got this on cassette back in the day when it was new, and always appreciated them. Wish they would've been praised like they should have been.

[STEPASAUR]

@TheDavemccollom1 haha me too! had it on tape(still have) taped off Westwood, great week in hiphop that was, this, the remix of In the Meantime and De la's Peas porridge with loads of dirt ragga, god times..
