 Notes  
     Opinion has been widely mixed about the merits of Philadelphia rapper Jesse
     B. Weaver, Jr. aka Schoolly D. Long before the debate about gangsta rap
     lyrics became an easy way to get national newsprint, there was outrage over
     Schoolly D's explicit and undiluted narratives on inner city strife.
     "Saturday Night" in 1987 and "Smoke Some Kill" in 1988 had city officials
     openly endorsing removal of the albums from record stores. He has continued
     in the same vein with 1993's "Am I Black Enough For You" and 1996's
     "Gangster's Story".
     Schoolly D's rather lackluster rapping style and repetitive material
     doesn't place him in the forefront of hip-hop creators, but he does merit
     mention (or blame, depending on your perspective) for being an early
     gangsta proponent. His career got a bit of a boost after the Chemical
     Brothers sampled him on their 1997 "Dig Your Own Hole" album, creating a
     bit of interest in a rapper few of the late 90's youth were familiar with.
     Furthermore, Schoolly D's relationship with esteemed film director Abel
     Ferrara gave him the opportunity to collaborate on the soundtracks to
     several of the directors films such as The Addiction and Kings Of New York.
     In late 2000, the rapper released his "Funk N Pussy" album, trying to
     re-ignite his faltering career.
