Yooooooooooo! That is some realness. Just turned 42 today and have all the same symptoms but can spit lyrics from when I was 11 flawlessly.

Yes! I'm 45, woke up with these lyrics in my head and had to come jam it out

Same! 43 and know all still know these lyrics !!

1991 ....Hampton U. This is OUR era. The Golden age.

Age and memory-ditto

I wish I owned a time machine!

AGREED

90's Baby

Still fly in 2022. I still got this CD. Fellas from just up the road in Fayette Nam. Damn long time ago. Better world. Sooooo much less hate. Thought we had all won and moved on.

Look up punk tactics

Facts bro

This inspired Raekwon - ice cream. Period.

The ep he recentlyndid with stu bangas is dope theres a couple real bangers on it.

I love this beat

Definitely facts! 💯

one clip on tiktok and it will happen

Lol on the wrestling. Agreed lol. Back when it was family entertainment and not a raunchy sleaze Fest.

me too

hahaha i was thinking the exact same thing this song can go so hard with the right lyrics.

What was the original song this beat came from?

chozen knight​ i think this is the original song to the beat but its just so out of place and what they talk about. Im sure if someone else sampled this it would of gone way harder. 

"Bubble Gum Machine" by The Senate ... made in 1967 www.whosampled.com/sample/2427/Black-Sheep-Flavor-of-the-Month-Bubble-Gum-Machine-I-Wonder/ And the drum beat came from "Upon This Rock" by Joe Farrel . . . made in 1974 www.whosampled.com/sample/15036/Black-Sheep-Flavor-of-the-Month-Joe-Farrell-Upon-This-Rock/

finisher3x Thanx! That was a sweet as mix.

Funny thing that, Im playing original Saints Row for the very first time right now 😂 it was one of those games I simply overlooked back then as "not for me/ looks like stupid GTA clone"

I probably played with you on xboxlive at like age 11 or so lol 😂. I believe it was just online Vs saints row 2 that had co op. My mom got so mad when my dad bought me this game at age 11. 2006 ? A game before halo 3 which I was aloud to play.

Yasss

even "this" Generation likes the jam..

@@borgona362 Yup. We love that shit lol

@@borgona362 Man I can't describe it to you... Those were the days! The music, the baddies, the nightclub scene around the world at that time - priceless!

That and one of the most underrated

His solo joints were real good but never got the marketing he deserved

@@platinum_knowledge was dres half Spanish he had such a unique look?.

I agree.

Nahh nah that's a reach

Hands down. My fave hip hop album of all time. Best rap delivery and lyricism of all time.

So damn true

Hmmm better than those De La boys? Really?

i thought it was just me.... but every time i hear that part , i piss of laughter..

word..

Because unfortunately , he didn’t make enough songs

Truth

apart from "u mean im not" surely?

You must have forgotten, "for those who slept."

lol I think you missed a few tracks on this album. There are three extremely raunchy tracks on this album. Definitely a great album though.

You know who else doesn't curse in his raps? Will Smith. And look what happened to that guy. Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck, bitch.

Same here my man......

Check out *Fox Teeth* by *C.GEANE* -She writes/produces everything by herself + she isn't ratchet.

The best. Unmatched.

Unmatched in history.

Yup good times

Damage I Rembert when did droped

Were you dropped on your head?

+ColTrane Crowley me too

+Ron Oneal you need to quit with the fake names

Yea that first verse was some shit

"So yes I guess I must confess you can get down to serious business with this..." The finest moment in rap delivery history.

Amen to that. It's so nice to find people that have the intelligence and the feel to recognize this.

Facts

Tony L Brown Yes but if listen to whole album they have a song thats only lyrics is fuck u. It's actually very good

PeediSigel Me too.

+PeediSigel Yo, I feel blessed to enjoy em both the same.

Totally agree. both are hip hop classics

Maybe it's the fact that TCIY was played incessantly at the clubs...

I always did also.

Yes, I find him to be number one in my books. He's the most musical of all the MCs. The syncopation, every little lilt in his voice. The pitches that he chooses on certain syllables, he's completely unmatched. I find jazz and classical musicians pick up on the brilliant subtleties in his delivery that go unnoticed by the general public.

So classy, polished, elegant.

Exactly what I'm always telling the younger generation. In order to appreciate the genius of late 80s and early 90s hip-hop, you've got to have some jazz education in your spirit

Absolutely

WORD!!!!!

I'm old

This. I got here under my own steam, multiple times.

Me too. 😃👍

Absolutely. Hands down. Everyone says that he's in the top 10 but in my books he's absolutely number one way above and beyond anyone else. Ever. In history. Completely unmatched.

Amen, I love Alfa Romeos... I love the power in my 91(funny, when this song came out, lol) 164 Sportivo... very fast at 165mph top end. lol

Real talk

+Dannot101 ...the video was shot long before hip-hop lost its direction. More recent tracks and videos only give oxygen to a certain trope - a clear case of "he who pays the piper calls the tune".

boofdfast And a sensible budget

RIGHT!!!

😃👍

Same!!!! I think I was 12 or 13

I used to think so as well. But then a recent deep dive into the choice is yours make me see it on par with flavor. The last verse of the choice is yours..... the timing, the lyrics, the vocabulary, give it a revisit. That last verse is pretty unmatched.

Nevah. Because they don't understand jazz.

What double meaning?

@@UFCxRAMPAGExPFC Hope I am not over explaining, but here it goes.... The entire song is an Double Entendre on it's own. The title of the song itself is called *"Flavor of the Month"* which is a known term or euphemism that means to be adored or favored for a short period of time....like a *One-Hit-Wonder* or a partner you have sex with that one time but had no interest in them afterwords. The subject matter consist of Dres trying to make a come up in an environment that constantly dismisses him due to superficial reasons. His talent and craft was undermined, but he persevered none the less, and now he is at the level he worked hard to get to. So the song is simply about striving for success while maintaining your identity. Bar: *Had to wait a while but the while has been waited* But now (or at least at the time) that the spot light is finally on him, his style and talent is being discredited as a short period of great popularity ie *Flavor of the Month* Bar: *Never gave up hope in myself, nor debated* If you dissect the idea he follows this theme all through out the song. The analogy he uses with different flavors of Ice Cream is to paint a visual picture to capture different styles that are seen as consumable, *Marketable* to the mainstream public. sugarcoated. So if you notice, at the intro when Mr. Long lists these different flavors and turns to Dres and asks, "Which flavor are you?" Dres simply replies by not telling Mr. Long his flavor at all, but instead breaks down why he is so different from the rest of the flock. Hence the name of the group *Black Sheep* which is another term that is a metaphor to explain how they stand out from the rest of the sheep.....but anyway. The visuals (The video itself) also has a lot of sexual innuendos that mirrored some of the subject matter on the album. Now that Dres has his *cone,* which is a symbol of his success and even manhood to a certain degree. He taunts his haters and disagreeable critics by asking in a condescending way "Wanna lick?" Basically saying "Fuck all you that doubted me in the first place" Bar: *Didn't shed a tear when I wasn't picked cause I got a cone now, want a lick?*

@@ronaldeatman6603 Oh, I see. The song is deeper than I thought. Thank you for your in-depth response.

@@ronaldeatman6603 you broke that ish all the way down...

@@ronaldeatman6603 You should seriously pursue a career where your intellect and strong cognition can be rewarded . If you havent already

Lol
