Schoolly D is the debut album by rapper Schoolly D. The album was released on Schoolly D Records in 1985 and in 1990 on Jive Records, and was produced by Schoolly D and DJ Code Money. It features 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".
"Gucci Time" 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 Beastie Boys and countless others.[1][2][3]
