Black Sheep: A wolf in sheep's clothing is a contender for my favorite rap album of all time. In my late teens and early 20's my group of friends would listen to this CD in the car practically on repeat.
When I first heard the CD I hated it. I wasn't into rap. My friends played it so much, I started really listening to the lyrics, they made me laugh, I found myself bobbing my head to it... and eventually I loved it. I eventually got a copy of the CD myself and listened to it many times over the years.
Within the past few weeks I, for some unknown reason, started singing the song 'Pass the 40' to myself. It got stuck in my head. My wife asked me "Who were you talking to?". I explained I was singing this song, brought it up on youtube, and proceeded to sing about 87% of the lyrics correctly. She was somewhat taken aback that I was able to do that and had an astonished look on her face. I then proceeded to tell her not to look so surprised as we both know she used to like Eazy-E and was super excited when she found a cassette of his in our basement while we were purging old items a few years ago. Yes, all of us suburban white kids loved gangster rap back in those days. No need to act surprised about it.
So here is to 'Pass the 40' with an appearance from Chi Ali:
