Schoolly D will never be remembered for his rhymes, which often bordered on rote and elementary; but when packaged with DJ Code Money's woofer-cracking 808 bass and long-distance scratches, they morphed into some of the most memorable and well-loved hip-hop songs of all time. Schoolly planted the seeds of gangsta rap ("P.S.K. What Does It Mean?" and "Parkside 5-2" were shouts to the infamous Parkside Killers gang in north Philly) while bragging about the trappings of success ("Gucci Time," "Put Your Filas On," "Fat Gold Chain"), but his most notorious recorded moment was his diary of a typical weekend night ("Saturday Night"), where he finds himself getting drunk, losing his key, picking up a hooker, then confronting his pistol- packing mom. However, the late 1980s found him trying to replicate the shock value on "Smoke Some Kill," "Coqui 900," and the sophomoric "Mr. Big Dick," but by then, gangsta rap had migrated to South Central--leaving Schoolly looking old and in the way. The Jive Collection reminds us that he was neither. His drum patterns and booming bass have become key documents, Xeroxed by producers. Schoolly D's psycho realm is best appreciated in the darkness of a club, four-foot woofers beating out the drum pattern in your chest, his terse sentence structure dumbing you down with him. --Todd Inoue
As I looked over the track listing of this collection, I thought it was definitely better that this compilation exists than nothing at all from Schooly. I just wish they would just flat out re-issue at least 3 of his records. Those being, "The Saturday Night E.P.," "Smoke Some Kill" & "Am I Black Enough For you?." But to wish that, I think would just be asking way too much of these horrible labels that insist on burying great artists such as this. Perhaps it would just be cheaper for them to include all 3 on a 2 disc set. Make a limited edition as well with photos and a truthful write-up of just how influential this man was on people like Public Enemy, B.D.P. & N.W.A.. Give this man some credit at long last for helping to create an entire genre along with guys like KRS-One, Scott La Rock, Ice-T, Evil E. & finally Chuck D, Flavor Flav & Terminator X.
But if they won't give us that special 2 disc set idea or the partial re-issue of some of the finest Schooly D records, then AT LEAST giive us "Smoke Some Kill." I haven't heard that record since 1989! I wonder how quickly it took Jive to discard that one from their catelog? At the time "Smoke Some Kill" came out, to me, there were few other releases out there that really compared to it. It's complete genius and I remember shaking my head as to how brilliant & new that sound was at the time. If you can find this record IN ANY FORMAT, buy it. If you can appreciate old school you won't regret it. It will also let you know right away, another guy (along with D.J. Code Money) who made hip-hop what it is today.

What few MCs can claim-- a hip-hop ORIGINAL........2002-12-04
Horrible legacy, good record.......2002-11-19
The main strength of this collection is "PSK What Does It Mean"- over a stormy noise chaos of ferocious beats, cymbal clashes and scratches, Schoolly D delivers a disturbing account of a day in his life of guns, drugs and prostitutes. With each verse the story becomes more and more sinister.
It dwarfes everything else on the album which is weak by comparison, but the rest of the album shows some good story-telling skills, braggado and sense of humour, particularly on the track "Saturday Night" where Schoolly D describes wild nights out and an even wilder family life.
There is a nice restraint to the violence, misogyny and homophobia on the album which makes it easier to swallow than most albums of the Gangster genre.
