The follow-up to 1991's massive debut, Non-Fiction is a troubled sophomore album; it has a few good moments, but it can't compare to the raw immediacy of A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. Dres' raps are just as solid, but the mostly R&B-influenced backing is flat and unexciting. "Without A Doubt," however, is as house-rockin' a cut as any on the debut. ~ John Bush
Three years isn't an especially long time between albums, but in hip-hop an epoch separated 1991 from 1994. That made it especially difficult for Black Sheep to follow up their prescient debut, and unfortunately, it appeared they'd run out of significant ideas after just one LP. Non-Fiction is bland where A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing was exciting, stiff and rigid instead of dexterous, and most astonishing of all, unreflective and self-serious where their debut had been imaginative and playful. "Autobiographical" is an interesting opener, telling the story of Black Sheep's transition from New York to Carolina and back, but despite some smooth raps and interesting wordplay, nothing else here says anything. The smooth club single "Without a Doubt" is the only track catchy enough to rank with the first record, and Black Sheep's sharp social critiques were entirely missing. Similar to the Pharcyde, their stylistic brothers from the West Coast, the sophomore slump hit Black Sheep particularly hard, and practically destroyed them as creative artists. ~ John Bush

Editorial Reviews
3.5 Stars - Dope - ...In an age of modern day Negro Gangstas being praised for killing half of their own people, NON-FICTION is definitely a missing component in the hip-hop world....Black Sheep tote humor-edged realism that provokes thought instead of beef...
The Source (01/01/1995)

7 - ...The Sheep's NON-FICTION is novel in that Dres says what others couldn't think to say....It's rare to see such a keen grasp of the word go hand-in-hand with a skillfully firm grasp on the mic. And that's blessed with D-r-e-s...
Rap Pages (12/01/1994)

3 Stars - Good - ...NON-FICTION shows that [producer Mista] Lawnge has matured as he laces tracks with interesting musical ideas...
Rolling Stone (02/09/1995)
