about

First gangster rap in history! First time on vinyl after 30 years!! Absolute classic, criminally underrated!!!

"When Schoolly D returned to Philadelphia in the early '80s after living in Atlanta, he was a couple years away from truly kick-starting his music career. "I had to work my ranks up," the man born Jesse B. Weaver Jr. recalls.

Weaver released his first two 12-inch singles in 1984 and 1985 before finding his stride with a third, "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?", a track now commonly regarded as the first gangsta rap song ever recorded. Ice-T took Schoolly's lead and flipped the style -- a bobbing, sing-song cadence -- into "6 'N The Mornin'," a direct influence on Eazy-E and N.W.A's breakout in 1988.

"P.S.K.", a hyperlocal anthem that resounded nationally, was Schoolly's big break. A few months later he'd release his debut full-length, Schoolly D, one of a handful of early hip-hop LP's in an era of 12-inch singles.

Earlier this year, Straight Outta Compton tinkered with and cemented gangsta rap's origin myths for a mass market: N.W.A burst onto the scene in the late '80s and stirred up controversy with their offensive but reflective lyrics. The group became the face of the gangsta rap movement. Schoolly, by contrast, missed the boat. He was already onto other things..." billboard.com
