#21. Black Sheep "Black With N.V."
Year: 1991
Produced By: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Album: Black Sheep
Label: Mercury/Polygram
While it is clear that Black Sheep put a great deal of thought into their lyrics and concepts, they gained a good deal of notoriety for their bawdy sense of humor, leading some to doubt that they could ever record a song with a serious theme. Listeners who purchased A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing were rewarded with "Black With N.V.," an intricately written, poignant examination of race relations and the disintegration of the American dream.

I don't care who you are—if you were even remotely curious about the process of producing hip-hop music, your mind was blown the second you realized that Tribe had turned Minnie Ripperton's whistle-pitch vocals into an instrument ^^^^^ This.
