1) The first is an alternative hip hop duo from Queens, New York, consisting of Andres Dres Titus and William Mista Lawnge McLean. They were a part of the Native Tongues Posse, which included Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. They debuted in 1991 with the hit song "Flavor of the Month" and later released their first album, A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, which gained them praise and recognition in the hip-hop community for its unique rhythms and intelligent lyrics.
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" (#9), and "Strobelite Honey" (#1). Black Sheep were also featured on Vanessa Williams' album, Work To Do (#8).
Black Sheep was also one of the first groups to parody gangsta rap (still in its infancy when A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing was released) in the hilariously over the top "U Mean I'm Not." It describes in cringing detail a dream one of the members had about shooting his sister for staying in the bathroom too long, and his mother for breaking his egg yolk while cooking breakfast. When he is roused from his sleep, he tells his friends in a bewildered, almost frightened voice, "I dreamed that I was... hard."
The group's second album, Non-Fiction, was seen as not living up to the group's well-established talents. Due to virtually no promotion and a generally poor reception, the album managed only lackluster sales. Titus and McLean would separate soon afterwards to attend to various independent projects. In 2000, they reunited to record a track for the movie Once in the Life. Dres is currently planning to release a new mixtape titled 8WM under the name Black Sheep, scheduled for release in the summer of 2006. Mr. Lawnge, now known as Mr. Long, has distanced himself from this new release.
Dres was featured on the second Handsome Boy Modeling School album, White People, on the track "First...and Then".

Although a musicially brilliant band they have yet to break out of their genre and play within set guidelines. They can be found on last.fm under the name Black Sheep Experience
4) The forth band is a Heavy Metal rock band from Hollywood, Ca., formed in 1981. Black Sheep fronted by Willie Basse is famous for having more than a few members that would go onto greater fame in other bands including Paul Gilbert, Slash, Randy Castillo and James Kottak They sold the name to the rap group in the 1990's, but the rappers never fulfilled their contractual agreement. Therefore the rock band continues forward with current media and releases. Their first album titled " Trouble in the Streets" released in 1985 on Enigma Records #72071. Second release EP, " Sacrifice" is currently available. Black Sheep is known for their precision & technical prowess. They are mainstays on the world famous Sunset Strip.

The Black Sheep's song "Have U.N.E Pull" is a rap song that appears to convey a message of self-confidence, personal identity, and staying true to oneself. The song opens with a humorous intro by Chi Ali expressing his desire to be as successful as Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, or Prince. The first verse highlights the uniqueness of the Black Sheep, stating that those who try to sleep on them won't get rest because of the noise they make. The artist is not afraid to be distinctive in his style and accepts himself for who he is. He talks about being "Buddha blessed" and takes pride in his intelligence and body.
In the chorus, the artist challenges the listeners to prove their authenticity by asking if they are "full of sheep trying to pull the wool," which implies trying to deceive or fool others. The second verse confronts those who may want to dislike or challenge the artist. The artist accepts that he may not be a person who can smack hands or play a particular way to please people who want to dance to something different. He is comfortable in his ways and wants people to accept and respect him. He emphasizes that he is part of Black Sheep and that he and his partner are a team.
In the third verse, the artist sees someone he is interested in and starts with playful pick-up lines that show his humor. He then mentions that he has a massive mansion, a caddy, and hook-ups for his peers, but his love is greater. However, he will not ignore the woman because he will "dig her later." Overall, the song maintains a positive message of being true to oneself and accepting individuals and their differences.

Just wait, I have great wealth that I can share with you. A house, a car for my father, something nice for my mother, and a fur coat for Mista Lawnge. I'll also get some girls for the crew.
Honey don't get mad
You know my love is greater
But, I'll dig you later
Don't be mad; you know I'm generous. I'll take care of you later.
'I can dig it' > repeated six times
with gradually decreasing emphasis
I approve of it, or I understand it. It's getting less and less important.
