Nice to hear the UK remix by Caveman of "Counting Sheep"
Thx drezzzz
Van Damn!!
myself and a couple mates bumped this album all the time in early 90's!!
DOPE! Thanks for the upload! Used to bang all Black Sheep's music back in the day and am revisiting all of it now!
Nicely done!!!!!!!!!!
Since i first heard this i was blown away.. To hear the sampling behind one of my all time favorite albums… Blown away! Thank you chris read!!!
Thanks Chris!! Any chance of higher res?
Brilliant
All i been bumpin is chris read mixes lately..fuckin dope
Broooo… This is amazing. Wolf in Sheep's clothing was that album where I memorized every lyric. The presentation of smooth in hip-hop form, molded me away from joining I.S.V.L. like every other kid in the neighborhood and focused me on game & getting honies. The older I get the more the smoothness melts into Soulfulness… This album is the musical form of this transition of just that. Incredible! It sounds like much of these might be what long sampled?.. if so, he impresses me even more.. talk about digging in the crates!
Truly one of the best albums from the 90's. Absolutely GREAT!
2020!!!

MASTERFUL!!!
#ClassicExample #WordLife dj who mixed this organically!!!!
I'm getting old boyeee.but there's one thing that the 90,s had black moths tucking sheep.
My life
This is a MASTERPIECE
A wolfe in sheeps clothing reached out to ME on a Personal level. During the BMG years when you could get 1000 tapes for like $20 BLACK SHEEP (digable planers & the boogiemonsters) came at ME direct, while NONE of my friends liked them.
*****but hearing these full samples and tracks used = i have a whole new respect fir mr.lawnge! Wow! Genius
