About Schoolly D

Schoolly D is the self-titled debut album by rapper Schoolly D. The album was originally released on Schoolly D records in 1985 and in 1990 on Jive Records, and was produced by Schoolly D and DJ Code Money. The album featured three singles, "Put Your Filas On." "P. S. K. What Does It Mean?" and "Gucci Time." The album cover featured drawings of a b-boy set against a yellow background. The speech bubbles used proxies for swear words such as "sheet" and "flucking". The latter was sampled in E-40's song "Stilettos & Jeans" featuring Bobby V, taken from his 2010 album Revenue Retrievin': Night Shift. The album is considered to be the predecessor of Gangster Rap and a major influence on the first albums of Ice-T and Public Enemy as well as an influence and sample source for The Beastie Boys and countless others. more »
