Non-Fiction Tracklist
Non-Fiction is the second album from Hip Hop duo Black Sheep. The album was not nearly as successful as A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing, charting at #107 on the Billboard 200.
It’d be easy to label Dres and Mista Lawnge one-hit wonders since “The Choice Is Yours” is still bringing in checks for the duo (word to those dancing hamsters!). But the truth is that their debut, A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing, was a classic album in 1991 thanks to their impeccable beat selection and their playful chemistry on the mic. But Black Sheep decided to take three years off before releasing their follow-up in December 1994.
And during that hiatus two things happened. Hip-hop went through a complete reinvention headlined by Dr. Dre’s The Chronic and Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystle and then Nas' Illmatic and The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die, signaling a changed tenor and completely changed production techniques, as chopped samples replaced simple loops. On top of that the once whimsical Dres and Mista Lawnge’s became self-consciously mature and disillusioned from their teenaged success. When it dropped their lifeless, self-serious sophomore release disappointed their few remaining fans, and sidelined the group for nearly a decade.
