As a long-time fan of The Native Tongues, I highly recommend this retrospective of their 100 greatest songs by Jason Gloss and Thun of the T.R.O.Y. blog. Each part of this series includes cover art, audio and great descriptions about what makes each artist's song eccentric and memorable.
It's been over 20 years since the Native Tongues blessed Hip Hop with their first classic. After revisiting their total output I am glad to say each song remains as enjoyable as the day I first discovered it, thanks to the work of fans such as T.R.O.Y. who help bring the greatness of Hip Hop to light.
As a Black Sheep fan from day one, it's a great treat to finally hav access to many of the instrumental versions of songs from their albums "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" and "Non Fiction". The sonic creations of this North Carolina duo still stand as some of the most creative in the world of sample-based Hip Hop production, plus they had a real unique knack for comedy.
Silence Of The Lambs "The Instrumentals" Volume One marks the 20th anniversary of Dres and Mista Lawnge's 1991 classic "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing". I still recall the day and place I bought this album, also the impact it left on my outlook of Hip Hop music from the inventive ideas and comedy. The instrumentals have been released in the same form you hear on the album, no bootleg loops.
This instrumental compilation is a definite collector's item, "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" it is a shining example of an era where production was at a creative peak of sampling, free of law restrictions. Take a listen for yourself to the treats Black Sheep has pulled from the vaults and reminisce on one of the early 90's greatest Hip Hop groups.
Nice new song from Dres, his second single off new EP, From The Black Pool of Genius: The Prelude. It's great to hear all the grown, inspirational content and life experiences he's giving back in his recent songs, as opposed the younger, cocky person you heard on 1991's A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing. To balance out the calm, thought provoking songs, I'm waiting to hear him come with another high energy cut in the traditional The Choice Is Yours, sorta like the feel of B-Boys Theme off 8WM Novakane.
