Schoolly D on Why Biggie & Big Daddy Kane are Viewed as Lyricists & He’s Not, "Parkside 5-2," P.S.K.

[@1Surinamer]

Who the f cares if Schoolly D is seen as a lyricist or not. He is Schoolly D, Schoolly is in a league of its own. I'm from The Netherlands and I was one of the first to buy the Schoolly D album. 1986 on a rainy evening went to the Record Store on a Thursday, the day that all new imports were delivered. And the owner always waiting for me to come, listen, and buy. And best of all, he allowed me to operate the SL1200 myself.😃Man, I miss those days. And yes Philly is often forgotten by the media. But hey fck it, we all know better right?! Great to see Schoolly again.

According to Ice-T…. Ruthless & Eazy wanted to Schooly to part of the label and possibly NWA. But he was already singed to Clive Davis/Jive records. Plus he one of the only niggaz not from NYC to perform the Latin Quarters and The Fever in the Bronx and rocked them jawns.

That's crazy skooly I feel you on that yellow and black, first vinyl I ever pressed up that's what I pushed as well on Interpol records.

I used to have some black and yellow tennis shoe joints back in the '70s as well I was very partial to the colors. My hand drew the logos for my cover as well. I can say we used to rock your songs in the '80s on our early b-boy stilo when doing our graffiti or the homies early break dancing in Mid-City midtown on St Elmo.

Great interview, man. Schooly D is hilarious 😂What he was saying about artists being pains in the ass and how he has a small bit of sympathy for labels made me think about the Jerry Heller/Eazy E/N.W.A money issue. I’ve always thought that after finishing a tour Ice Cube and maybe the other guys came back home and expected to be immediately living large like The Rolling Stones or Michael Jackson or some shit only to find that their lives weren’t that different…Yet. I think they were young and and maybe a bit naive (as we all are at some point) not realizing or appreciating, as Schooly D mentioned, how much money was being spent on them to tour, put out records, merch, etc…if Jerry Heller didn’t pocket one cent, I don’t think Ice Cube and the rest would have seen the money that he thought that he was entitled to. That money would have come with time. He’s doing ok since he left but I’m just saying lol.
