Black sheep 90s hip hop songs12/16/2023 I’ve been talking to Kia for the past week or two so certain things might be done moving forward in maximizing what we’re trying to do. I have yet to receive payment on it but don’t get it twisted, I will. So you didn’t even know it was going to happen? I didn’t have any time to do any form of huge promotion globally so at this time that I got an album coming out, it’s such a blessing that so many people are turning their heads to notice, wow Black Sheep, what’s Dres up to? But it kind of goes to the walk of an artist especially from my era⎯everything was kinda young and this Kia commercial, I didn’t even have anything to do with it. There are songs that⎯like with when Obama won⎯you knew where you were and what you were doing and “The Choice is Yours” is like that. Certain songs just represent a good feeling and I think “The Choice is Yours” is one of those that was so fortunate to have that life. I think it’s reflective of a time period of a certain level where it was good feelings. What’s up with the resurgence of golden era hip-hop in advertising? “The Choice is Yours” is in a new Kia commercial and some other classic hip-hop songs have been getting commercial revivals too. Next year will be 20 years and I hope that we would come together and maybe do a rhyme or put out a record that speaks to our 20 year run. But if he decides he wants to do something again with both of us as Black Sheep then I’ll be down. He decided he wanted to go solo and I respected him. I felt like it wouldn’t be in my advantage for me to step away from something just because he decided to. The group is something that me and Lawnge built he decided to do something else. Ideally, where my head is conceptually, I didn’t step away from the group. I can still be one person and still be Black Sheep. If you were to put one sheep in a field it can be plural and singular. What was your decision to carry Black Sheep solo? And across the board it bought a whole gamut of artists from the Donny Hathaways to the Stevie Wonders, but also the Joe Samples and the Chaka Khans, the Minnie Rippertons⎯there’s a whole gamut of artists that I grew up on that enlightened me and I started looking at that as a concept to be able to subliminally enlighten people and make statements in artists that would have this ability and I felt that these artists including myself would be members of the black pool. He did a live remake of a Stevie Wonder record, “Super Woman,” and it’s a live recording so you can hear it sounds like it’s in a tavern or something and he says, “From the black pool of genius, I got this Stevie Wonder record,” and I thought, “Wow, that’s a prolific statement,” and it made me want to be a member of this pool so I started thinking about it and understanding that it’s not about the color of a person, black is essentially a color that draws light, so I took it as a pool of people that have the ability to draw light to give light that can enlighten you. As far as the black pool of genius, I borrowed the concept from Donny Hathaway. I’m always of the mindset that the artist is the primary focus but going on 20 years, I’ve been following that and I thought it would be cool to do something different by working with artists that I respect artistically. It’s different for me in that I got a bunch of features on it and it’s the first time I’ll be releasing an album with more than a feature or two.
