Everything about Schoolly D totally explained
Schoolly D is the moniker of
American rapper Jesse B. Weaver, Jr. (
June 22,
1966) from
Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. He was a pioneer of
hardcore rap and
gangsta rap, being one of the first rappers to embrace an antisocial persona without explicit irony.
Biography
Musically, Schoolly D and his
DJ Code Money came up with electronic hardcore beats. Later on, Schoolly embraced the
afrocentric style, working together with
KRS-One. He contributed songs and music to many
Abel Ferrara films, and "
Signifying Rapper" from
Smoke Some Kill was used in Ferrara's film
Bad Lieutenant. Because
Led Zeppelin successfully sued due to an uncleared
interpolation of their song "
Kashmir" in "Signifying Rapper," the song was omitted from the soundtrack of the film and indeed from subsequent releases of the
Bad Lieutenant.
Schoolly also wrote "The Player" for Ferrara's film The Blackout, as well as the score to Ferrara's
R'Xmas. In addition he also contributed the title track to Ferrara's
King of New York starring
Christopher Walken. The film also contained the track "Am I Black enough for you?". Most recently, Schoolly D co wrote the indie film sound track of the sci-fi thriller, "Order of the Quest" with Media Bureau, Chuck Treese and Benjamin Barnett. His last album,
Funk 'N Pussy, features guest appearances by
Public Enemy's
Chuck D, Chuck Chillout, Lady B and a
drum and bass remix of the classic Schoolly D track "Mr. Big Dick" (remixed by
UK trip-hop crew
The Sneaker Pimps).
Schoolly also does the music and occasional narration for the
cult animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force on the
Cartoon Network channel in its
Adult Swim strand.
Rapper Ice-T, who is often given credit for the creation of ganster rap, gave Schoolly D his due credit"
