Since he checked Native Tongues, any chance you might have poked around to see if Pharrell was into Black Sheep and not just "Choice is Yours" and "Flavor Of The Month"? That whole album (Wolf in Sheep's Clothing) is one-of-a-kind, self-aware, humorous, sophomoric, catchy.
One of my favorite rap albums of all time! No, I didn’t ask him about it specifically but I bet he’s into it. He’s repeatedly mentioned his fav album from that era being Straight Out The Jungle.
Ty! "I took the SAT and that's the sad a** truth" is one of so many lines just packed with commentary, on then, now, US life in general from the 50's even into 2026.
Lovely list - thanks for sharing. And that description of the album reminded me of the Clones compilation from 2 years prior. Also a very mixed bag. I listened to it quite a lot, but it felt a bit weird.
Thank you 🙏

That Donny Hathaway song is for real.
Made this into a playlist for my own nerdy reasons (listening). Hope you don't hate it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No of course not, this is great!

Agree on Clones, but boy that one had some serious jams on there too.
❤️ Pharrell ❤️
And a long time before Louis Vuitton. 😎
