Black Sheep: The Native Tongues Duo That Could Have Been More

[@stuntedgrowthmusic]

Black Sheep still made of of the dopest hip hop songs of all time! Times just changed

[@cwrichardson3]

Yes... I agree Similak Child was the best.

[@KingChaperail]

People talk about the choice is yours (remix), but they had hit after hit from that first album.

[@stabaholic187]

Peep their 2nd album "Non fiction" is just as good as their first album ; if not then it is better no lie

[@blakebrown84]

Black Sheep is one of the greatest hip hop duo of all time!!! Mane, they were ahead of their time.

[@trzarector]

Dres is so underrated. Got it all. Wordplay, flow, character. A poet.

[@rodcollins6648]

One of my top 10 hip hop groups.

[@mutechannel13]

Black Sheep definitely went under the radar.... Compared to other Native Tounge members.... Dela, Latifah, ATCQ, LOD and Monie Love

[@constablekennedy7705]

Happy New Year Fellas

[@Marvilloso]

pete rock and cl smooth stunted growth

[@danieldean1806]

Thanks for doing this... Thier first album Is one of my all time favourites and Dres is such an amazing rapper.they did a show in London just before Christmas

[@KingChaperail]

I heard Mista Lawnge performed as well. How was it? Did you attend?

[@danieldean1806]

@KingChaperail yep Mista Lawang was there as well. I wasn't expecting to see him and so it was a great surprise. Dope show too .. Their chemistry together is unreal

[@KingChaperail]

@ Dope. Mista Lawnge is so naturally hilarious. I hope that something comes out of that reunion. That new Redman, and Common/Pete Rock album is really setting the stage back for a progressive rap come back.

[@danieldean1806]

@KingChaperail he most definitely is hilarious! But that's a good point with the likes of Pete and common making an album as well as Tip and LL it would be great if they would give us one last album.

[@KingChaperail]

@ But we need a true follow up. They got to lock in that Native Tongue/ DJ Red Alert Energy.

[@KingChaperail]

I don’t care what anybody says. A wolf in Sheep’s clothing was 5 mic album. The beats were original and on point (Trombone joint is still A1 learning at black high school bands), the raps were smooth, conversational, but hit hard. The Native Tongues were in full effect with Mista Lawnge, and Dres.

[@Embassy97]

Strobe light honey was my shit is my shit

[@Charleswalker-3dj]

Another great story bro keep up the great work 💯

[@Waakiyl01]

Still waiting for Organized Confusion.

[@maundamartin59]

These guys DESERVE A SPOT*ON THE TOP TEN GAME CHANGER LIST.

[@hannibal-elmrs.6275]

Black Sheep STILL those 🥷🏾!!! Went to a show (on the ROOTS bill) and the YOUNG YT kids was GOING CRAZY, word for word- they was mashing and all! I was shocked they would even KNOW their music, since they came out when I was in highschool. They still have their performance power!!

[@gothamcityarcade]

Dres from black sheep was Flushing, Queens naive! I remember seeing around the Bland housing project, where his family is still there until this day! Cool individual and always spoke to the neighborhood...

[@cwrichardson3]

I appreciate your videos. You should do Jamal from Illegal.

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

The Choice Is Yours is a timeless classic. You should another hip-hop duo who should have a bigger career which is Smiff N Wesson next.

[@rayedmonds6108]

My wife had never heard Super Brooklyn till about ago 2 hours ago. She asked, "who is this?" She didn't know she was gonna go to school on a holiday. 😆

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

@ Nice.

[@SoMobby-qd6uh]

When Hiphop was ours🙏🏾

[@tomasjephersin84]

I Loved Drez's Verse On Vanessa Williams "Work To Do"

[@Eli.p79]

It’s crazy my whole life I thought black sheep was one person. I can’t believe this. I grew up in hip-hop and to not notice it’s crazy to me.

[@spawn_blacksmith]

Great video

[@Notorious_G.O.D_76]

The Whole "Native Tongues" were..... * De La Soul * A Tribe Called Quest * Jungle Brothers * Monie Love * Sometimes "Queen Latifah * Sometimes Beatnuts * Chi Ali * Leaders Of The New School * Black Sheep 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@chicosworld]

L.O.N.S. also

[@Notorious_G.O.D_76]

@chicosworld Bonk !!! How could I forget L.O.N.S .....They dope too....

[@Roccofan]

Happy New Year.

[@davehardenburg2924]

My bad brother that hook got me the choice is yours I grew up with that white I forget that? That hook got me

[@vdotme]

Probably one of the best albums of my youth. The last album I'm aware of that did real hard hip hop without the BS tropes. They were always going to have a huge uphill struggle with the direction hip hop was heading at the exclusion of true art led material.

[@hitek9too255]

Black Sheep NC stand up!

[@bigrodneyakatrey]

5star album

[@davehardenburg2924]

This or that was a classic. Engine engine number 9 on the New York Transit line if the train falls off the track pick it up pick it up pick it up. Fire

[@gregwhite7852]

Happy New Years world! Let's start this year right and get a video on "No Good"!!!!!

[@Eazygame888]

Do one on the 2000s rap group Crime Mob

[@hitek9too255]

Good one. I used to like Crime Mobb. I remember seeing a Diamond interview and she talked about why they broke up.

[@BrandanTheBroker]

Feels like had they been able to ride out the storm and get to maybe 98 they could have had a second run with decent success.

[@KingChaperail]

Most definitely. One of the greatest tragedies of hip hop lore. There was an interview that Mista Lawnge did where he explained that the Non fiction album originally had completely different beats that was an evolution from the first, but there were trashed because the label and Dres wanted something “right” not “left”.

[@sirleroyale4412]

Dres was dope

[@KingChaperail]

Have you seen his and Black Sheep’s documentary? I think it was on Paramount plus?

[@michaelcboone4222]

All I gotta say is " engine engine number 9."

[@landismithCOJ]

Flavor of The Month is too ill.

[@JMSK248]

Sadly, given the option, too many people didn't get with this.

[@sebastianthompkins4274]

@stuntedgrowthmusic, can u do 1 on black hippy and the back story of that group please. 🫡🫡

[@AyoVp]

The documentary on paramount is really good

[@ricardored207]

It was just the music switching up that most groups or duos,couldn’t keep up with henceforth after BLACK SHEEP,we got MOBB DEEP who almost fell through the cracks because of 4th and Broadway record label‼️ From what I can recall DRES stayed afloat through owning real estate properties,now as for Mr.Lawnge i don’t remember what he put his hands on after the split. But I can tell you in the underground nyc dance scene, (THE CHOICE IS YOURS REVISITED) is used heavily till this day in dance mixes, even LOLA BROOKE used it for one of her many bops‼️

[@KingChaperail]

Which is crazy to see, because the Natives tongues were coming with that heat and able to transverse the new eras. Even is they were ahead of their time with the styles.

[@stabaholic187]

Pass tha 40 🍻🌬💨

[@MrCharizmatiik]

Illegal, Da Youngstas, Kriss Kross, The Famlee, The Boyz, ABC (Another Bad Creation)

[@p4rt_t1me_g0d]

Speaking of Dres..., he tried to transition to Queen Latifah's similarly stunted camp, The Flava Unit. They only had one project together as a collective I believe.

[@jedimind505]

Are you abke to do Jedi Mind Tricks or Black Star? Maybe Binary Star?

[@heavylbeatz]

You should do Lil Jojo & Craig Mack

[@thegreattreon0177]

What I don't understand is they fell off with their playful style and sound but groups like De LA Soul and Tribe Called Quest with a similar sound became ultra successful and they had internal conflicts too so why couldn't Black Sheep rise above their's?

[@KingChaperail]

I always felt that they deviated from the Tongues pedigree, and got into that Bronx style of hardcore beats. There was literally none of that dark humor that made them stand out.

[@DanielHill-y6p]

The AI voice y'all are using is KILLING ME 😭

[@hitek9too255]

It's not AI.

[@djjdub7493]

This is his actual voice, not AI

[@doodiemac100]

Do Naughty By Nature next

[@ljavery10]

Now u gotta do Chi Ali lol… good work tho

[@cenziclopedia]

I have been watching Dres for a long time, and I feel that he spends more time looking for "what's hot" instead of just being themselves is very evident. NonFiction tried sooo hard to be "street" and it sucked for that reason.

[@KingChaperail]

You know you have a point. Lawnge talked about how the beats for the Nonfiction album was originally different then ones that had, but they were trashed for the reason you gave.

[@Waakiyl01]

Sophomore curse.Dres drug use.The end ....

[@pos2402]

I think homie who made the video underestimate hip hop fans from that era. Yes there were changing landscapes that contributed to the fall of many artists. But hip hop fans as a whole back then was way more open minded, versus the one dimensional simple minded rap fan in this day and age. I was a teen during the Golden age and a young teen at that and I can honestly say if it was hot, younger teens to the older teens. Young adults to older adults would rock with it. That second black sheep album was trash, and hardly anybody even knew they dropped a second album.

[@maroon9273]

Can you do alkoholiks growth stunt and would you think black sheep stunted growths was caused by dissing mc hammer?

[@chuck9380]

2026

[@andresciahooten9598]

Can you please do a video on Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Azealia Banks, Alicia Keys, Will Smith, Queen Latifah, YoYo and Trippie Redd

[@hitek9too255]

Some of those aren't rappers.

[@donkistow]

First album was trash!!
