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".
2) The second band who go by the name Black Sheep. They are a Hardcore Punk/Ska band from Mouscron, Hainaut, Belgium. Their influences include Leftover Crack, Choking Victim, Capdown, Comeback Kid, No Cash and The Filaments.

3) The third band named Black Sheep is a Classical Rock three piece band based in York, U.K. Who's most interesting feature is that their drummer is also their vocalist. 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.

Black Sheep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cat's out the bag and it's the end of your career
Don't spit it out, let it persevere
I like to see my dick snot disappear
I got inch out the edge, Lawnge Don can't compare
So, ho, come here!
Now some say they get live but the Sugar Dick is live-er
In and out of any situation like MacGuyver
When it comes to hitting ass I'm a striver
I'll use my dick to fight a war so there won't be no survivor
Call me the Nine Point Fiver!
Cause I'm the sugar dick, the Sugar Dick Daddy Mr Lawnge
Of the Black Sheep here to point out what's wrong
With emcees like these popping that bullshit, please!?
Hang it up, black
If it's a God-given talent then take that shit back
Analyze the style, go home and re-write
I know you want to be down, I know you want to be like
ME! The Sugar Dick Daddy Lawnge
If you think that you can play me, nah, you're dead wrong
Cause I write lines and wreck minds
Being that I'm the DJ I can flip at any time
I'll diss you on the rhyme, diss you on the cut
Have you on the dick so much there's no room for my nuts
Forget rapping, you nerds are herbs
Just get a job and ride my dick to work
Respect the Lawnge one cause fly shit I mail out
Yo, you got the wrong one if you think I'll sell out
Used to have a ho and I'm damn glad we fell out
I would keep on rapping but it's time to break the hell out
Yo bust it, I be a fly nigga as far as niggas go
I be a choice brother but only a brother would know
Chilling Eskimo as the general rule
If you can't say Dres, you can call me cool
Styles unlimited, you can't get with it
But you can get this if you straddled and it fitted
I wondered and I pondered if your family were Roman
Cause you're snuggly and you're cuddly, play me closely like a Trojan
Ah-ah, it busted, aww shit, don't act dumb
You opened your mouth, black, so yo here I come
It's a catastrophic state but let it begin
If my dick's on your minds then my balls are on your chin
Now here it's kind rough, so kids stay on your toes
If my balls or on your chin then pubic hair is up your nose
If pubic hair is up your nose then I suppose
I'm the nigga that gets and you're the nigga that blows
My style is immeasurable so put away your ruler
Think of the coolest kid you know, Dres is cooler
Smoother, slicker, quicker roll-flicker
Honey came bloody so I hit her in the shitter
Went to a first stone caster cum a master blaster
Tell you cause I know, black, get off the slim faster
I know you want to emcee and be down with the rest
But stay on the head now cause that's what you do best
Your duck down sound compound no interest
Get down with the flock, motherfucker, invest
In the rhyming you're designing, I can see your shit climbing
To the bottom from the mid where it hid, bad timing?
What do you want to know, I still gotta go
You're a tic out of tac but I'm busy getting doe
Move over just a bit for the sight taking flight
Still eager as the Beaver and I'm leading with my right
I'll coin one more then step, daggonit
Our dicks are the planet and where are you?
The lyrics to Black Sheep's song "Yes," are full of braggadocio and sexual references, typical of the hip hop genre but done here in a comedic and lighthearted way. The song is a showcase for the MC, Lawnge, to boast about his "sugar dick" and his skills as a rapper and DJ. He takes shots at other rappers who he thinks are whack and tells them to hang it up and find a job. He also uses humor and wordplay to describe his sexual prowess, saying he can use his dick to fight a war and claiming that if his balls are on your chin, then pubic hair is in your nose. The song's overall message seems to be that he is the coolest and most talented rapper around and if others want to reach his level, they need to step up their game and put in the work.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was the lead single from Black Sheep's debut album, "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," which was released in 1991. The album was a critical and commercial success, with "Yes" and other tracks like "Flavor of the Month" and "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)" becoming underground hits. Another interesting fact is that the group was formed by two friends from Queens, New York, MC Dres and DJ Lawnge, who had previously worked as part of the Native Tongues collective, which included groups like A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. Black Sheep's blend of humor, jazz samples, and socially conscious lyrics made them stand out in the early '90s rap scene.
