I couldn't agree more. For those who are asking how they are underrated... they are never mentioned on lists. Yes it was definitely the song of the year in 92, the whole album was fire. Fast forward to today, nary a mention in the greats. Dres' rap vocal on Flavor of the Month is finest, most nuanced jazz like syncopated in history. Lyrically ,he's incredible and EASILY belongs on the greatest MCs of all time list!

I tell you this....I listened to this track in 1991. It Was only popular in urban and city areas. Then all of a sudden in the early 2000s, OLD NAVY or The Gap put this track in their commercial with kids dancing..and only THEN everyone in the world recognized how good of a track it was😄. Wonder if the same can happen with a Das Efx track or an Onyx track.😋

@@D33Lux absolutely, my daughter and her boyfriend were at my house the other day and they were looking through one of my photo albums. They couldn’t believe that we could freely just smoke in the clubs and they couldn’t fathom that we really partied hard with rappers. Before real money came into play rappers were so regular and accessible. Yes some would have security but most of the time it would be the rapper and his crew. And this is just the 90s we’re talking about. Imagine being a teenager in 1986 sneaking into Latin Quarter with your big sister’s ID just because you wanted to hear what songs Red Alert would test out on the crowd. I still can’t hear Stetsasonic “Go Stesta” without thinking I have to tuck my jewelry so the Brooklyn guys wouldn’t snatch my shit. It was a crazy time in NYC and the city was lawless. I’m grateful to say I survived it.
Can't beat the old school rap because back in the day we had groups like Black Sheep, A Tribe Called Quest, EPMD, Eric B. & Rakim, Digitial Underground, Outkast, Salt-N-Pepa, TLC, Heavy D & The Boyz, The Fugees along with LL Cool J, Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane, Ice Cube, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, KRS-One, etc. Nothing this day can ever top the old school in my mind period.

My life anthem - I was the ultimate scapegoat/black sheep in my family on both my father and mother's side. Black sheep are very talented people, have incredible soul skills, and are vicious to narcissists. They are often called "losers", and are often targeted by narcissistic crews of people. That's why they get the brunt all the time, and narcissists are always out to get them. They grew up in a terrifying imposed position in life, and had to learn soul survival.

Man, early 90’s NYC was the shit. Everyday there was new music making moves. Hip hop was busting, punk, alternative, shit, metal was coming back , hardcore, grunge, reggae was bouncing. Absolute bananas. I 100% believe that me being 14/15 in 1990 put me in the sweet spot for so much influential music in so many genres. Absolute amazing time for music, clubs, shows and NYC. It’ll never be like that again.

Black Sheep was easily the most under-rated rap group of the 90's. Their shit still slaps in 2022.
how were they under-rated? this song was on all the radio stations, played at all the college parties and clubs and had huge crossover success. so how were they under-rated?
@LOVELESS what are you talking about? this song went mainstream. remember yo mtv raps! and i was just questioning what he meant by 'under-rated' when it got such huge airplay! i mean they were on in living color and i think living single. this song was everywhere.
And there’s “underrated” guy…
I couldn't agree more. For those who are asking how they are underrated... they are never mentioned on lists. Yes it was definitely the song of the year in 92, the whole album was fire. Fast forward to today, nary a mention in the greats. Dres' rap vocal on Flavor of the Month is finest, most nuanced jazz like syncopated in history. Lyrically ,he's incredible and EASILY belongs on the greatest MCs of all time list!
I tell you this....I listened to this track in 1991. It Was only popular in urban and city areas. Then all of a sudden in the early 2000s, OLD NAVY or The Gap put this track in their commercial with kids dancing..and only THEN everyone in the world recognized how good of a track it was😄. Wonder if the same can happen with a Das Efx track or an Onyx track.😋
Old school doesn't get any better than this.

The wisdom in that line is amazing. “Out to rock the boat while still here to rock, don’t punch girls and I don’t punch a clock,.....” How to make a difference in the world. At least to do some thing. Shows respect to women which which according to my upbringing is very important and of course I agree. And I don’t punch a clock. They make their own way.

Indeed!
In late 1991, there were 2 albums I wanted on cassette badly. One was Nevermind by Nirvana and the other was A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Black Sheep. What a time to listen to music.
Me 2, I as a Jersey girl was on both, hip hop/rap and the grunge wave, I miss the good old days.
I bought Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and Fugazi's Steady Diet of Nothing right at the beginning of spring break my senior year of High School. April 1992. We have similar tastes. Kids was mad diverse back in the day.
@@VanguardSound7 I think kids tastes are typically way more diverse these days, just because they have such easy access to everything.

I saw Black Sheep perform this song at Palladium in the winter of 1992!! They turned the whole club out. The party scene in NYC at that time was unlike any other. On any given night you’d be in a party with Tribe Called Quest, Biggie, and LL Cool J all at the same time. Back then the artist were super accessible. Those were some great nights!!! Much love from Harlem NYC ❤️❤️❤️
Saw Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Funkdoobiest in early 90's, NEVER seen so much weed in my life, so much dank smoke you got contact highs. The stadium hallways were like you were hotboxing. Amazing concert. 70's, 80's and 90's Hip Hop was so amazing we didn't realize how unbelievable epic it was. Everyone who lived it won the lottery of experiences. Life is so shit right now. The freedom back then was unequivocal.
@@D33Lux absolutely, my daughter and her boyfriend were at my house the other day and they were looking through one of my photo albums. They couldn’t believe that we could freely just smoke in the clubs and they couldn’t fathom that we really partied hard with rappers. Before real money came into play rappers were so regular and accessible. Yes some would have security but most of the time it would be the rapper and his crew. And this is just the 90s we’re talking about. Imagine being a teenager in 1986 sneaking into Latin Quarter with your big sister’s ID just because you wanted to hear what songs Red Alert would test out on the crowd. I still can’t hear Stetsasonic “Go Stesta” without thinking I have to tuck my jewelry so the Brooklyn guys wouldn’t snatch my shit. It was a crazy time in NYC and the city was lawless. I’m grateful to say I survived it.

That's right because music these days will never match the music back in the day. Don't get me wrong, some of the music is good but not great though.
William Wright Indeed. I mean, even Kendrick Lamar who many say is the best New School rap artist and ”2Pac incarnated” (DUMBASSES!) is very mediocre compared to like 95-97% of rappers in the 90’s. Only has like 4-5 nice songs.
@@williamwright4073 It's because today's shit doesn't hit. It's all autotuned with Xanax performances. The new cats have sold into the system and lost all edge.
My life anthem - I was the ultimate scapegoat/black sheep in my family on both my father and mother's side. Black sheep are very talented people, have incredible soul skills, and are vicious to narcissists. They are often called "losers", and are often targeted by narcissistic crews of people. That's why they get the brunt all the time, and narcissists are always out to get them. They grew up in a terrifying imposed position in life, and had to learn soul survival.

Real Talk. I'm 42. I could feel a change in the hood and I could see the change in people's behavior when West Coast Gangster Rap Trash came on the scene. Everybody tried hard to be thugs. I gangster rap destroyed our sanity's and sense of community. I can't front and say that I didn't like it but I also detested it once I saw the influence that it had over my brothers and sisters.

Kaido ™ troll ya, old school hip hop when it was heavy on the dancing was super hype. Not like crunk hype, but hype in unison hype. That video I linked was from their performance on "In Living Color"
You were in the vibe,so were they, so kinda makes sense.
me dude this shit still rocks
This song was perfect in Rise of the beasts. Mirage was badass af
2024..still hits hard as hell..
Nothing better than pure old school Hip Hop
I was wondering if anyone else came here cuz of him
This song dominated every club, radio station and jeep when it came out.
If it wasn't for ROTB, i wouldn't know this hit.
I saw this performed with De La Soul last night. I was 2 years old when this came out but my Mum and cousins would bump this tune - it was epic. Homage to the original engine engine number 9 bar 😊
This track is still slamming. It never gets old. Till infinity!!!
only the truly educated can see that! This is art at the highest level.
@@learnenglishwithrobinandsa665 hell yeah
Back when hip hop was for real! They just want to say don't do drugs, don't kill people, don't be racist. Proper!
There were plenty who said the opposite (usually not the last one)
And not full of cuss words also
Ps1 haggard?
ah yes, because gangsta rap was not the most popular type of rap at the time this was released
This'll is the shirt for real
When you try to steal Porsche, but it's radio starts playing by itself...
Future generation here, (Gen Z) this song is some of the greatest stuff I've heard this week. It's a masterpiece.
I just listened to "Scenario" by A Tribe Called Quest before I came to this video. It was originally released just months after this one. You should check that one out, too, if you haven't already.
“Don’t punch 👊 Girls, & we don’t punch a CLOCK!” ⏰
This song helped me to make a better choice.
HypnoDaddy .....Factz!!
HypnoDaddy cash
Was it this or that
Which one is where it's at?
haha... you stupid
Man, early 90’s NYC was the shit. Everyday there was new music making moves. Hip hop was busting, punk, alternative, shit, metal was coming back , hardcore, grunge, reggae was bouncing. Absolute bananas. I 100% believe that me being 14/15 in 1990 put me in the sweet spot for so much influential music in so many genres. Absolute amazing time for music, clubs, shows and NYC. It’ll never be like that again.
Were rolling out of Unicron with this one
Rasing kanan ..power book 3 brought me here!!
Early 90's hip hop was the sh*t!!!
Whole album is sick
You wanna definition of Hip Hop? This is where it's at!
😮 brought myself here, 35 yrs still “Back on the scene, crispy & clean!”🫶🏼
Man I miss this music Era with a passion!
K. Whit. Lugz. Karl Kani. Cross Colors. What the hell happened to those guys?
trends change
The Engi is here
What a great time to be alive!!! I miss this era of hip-hop so much!!! We used to get so hype off the "Engine, engine No. 9 part!!! #genx#thiseraofhiphipcanneverbeduplicated#blacksheep#classic#dopenessatitsfinest ❤️🎧🎤👏🏾✊🏾💪🏾💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
right! guess we were truly blessed
We all yelled those lyrics & jumped on the pick up it part
New Transformers brought it back for the new Generations ❤
Uncle Dane has a good taste in music.
One of the greatest hip hop joints of all time
NORTH CAROLINA BOYS GETTING IT IN!!!!
In another 30 years this track will still be tight. And the choice will still be yours.
You can get wit "this" (drugs) or that (hip hop), this (guns, gang violence, crack, prejudice, police brutality) or "that" (record scratching, DJ'ng, creating, positivity)..the choice is yours!!. I think rappers today missed the point... :/
I think you have the whole point backwards because they say “I think you’ll go with this, cuz this is kinda phat”
@@PruppetMaster nope he was referring to “that” and when that line is said there’s shots of the record-scratching.
Rappers today make entire careers based on missing the point 😒
To clear it up and make it plain, the OP has it backwards. The "This' is positive and the "That" is the negative bullshit..... You're welcome.
Real shit broski
No guns, no strippers, no making it rain and still harder than anything today!
Good ass point!
#RealHiphop
Word
Yeah cuz the camera didnt follow a girls ass at the start and end and there are guns in the video
David Moore right lol
I will FOREVER associate this, not only with the memories I have of it as a youngster, I'll associate it with NBA Street Vol. 2. That soundtrack was RIDICULOUSLY awesome.
Sampling McCoy Tyner and quoting Wilson Pickett as well as referencing both A Tribe Called Quest and Jungle Brothers (Both part of the native tongues).. this song is rich on music history and I can't help but love it to death.
I thought i was the only one who picked that up
This is hip hop royalty at its finest, that will never tarnish or get old .
22 IN 1991. NOW 51 AND STILL JAMMING !!!!!! YOUNG-AT-HEART4EVA
Lol, I was the same exact age then!! I would go club hopping me and my boyz! We'd hit clubs in Hoboken first like Club Shooters, then go into the city later in the night like to Latin Quartes, Roseland, the Palladium etc..and they all had this on rotation mixing it up live!! Man it wuz so hype!!! I loved them days!!!!
You too?
As an old soul person for '91, I literally getting the chills because it's one of my favorite songs.
Transformers rise of the beasts had a fantastic soundtrack
Most definitely, word!
Most perfect one in the series my opinion
"engine engine #9" I wonder if they knew how iconic that verse would become?
This joint is still running laps around 95% of the Hip Hop made in 2016
100%
Agreed.
Hellz yea!!!
U ain't never lied
Facts
This came on while i was lifting, my fatigue disappeared for the duration and i got some great sets in😂😂😂😂 Signs of a timeless classic
Wolf in sheep’s clothing the whole album renewed my love of Hip-Hop
Rappers now these should take notes from Old School Hip Hop! They don't make good music like this no more... My favorite joint here! U can't beat that with a bat Classic!
They definitely should
I absolutely agree. Musicians today should take a lesson from these old schoolers.
Kanye can't touch these guys.
Plenty of dope Hip Hop around today if you make the effort to look for it and don't just rely on tv/radio or so called "Hip Hop" blogs/websites. Do your own digging and stop expecting people to hand shit to you all the time. The 90s was dope indeed, but it's not the be all and end all of Hip Hop.
Naomi King people know how, this shit aint dead. But artists gotta evolve with the generations music taste otherwise they lose money. :/ sucks. Ice cube, and the hardest cats there were are now real soft, and makin club music lmao
One of the dopest jams ever
