Schoolly's 4th album seemed to get more exposure than his first 3, and is distinguished by early use of extremely long, largely unaccompanied, samples of well-known material -- not that this hadn't happened at all before, but Schoolly's pushing the envelope here. (His next album "How A Black Man Feels" has pages of legal clearance info on the samples -- perhaps there was trouble.) It's a neat demonstration of the DJ's art, and if long samples don't irritate you (or if you've never heard Hendrix, Richard Pryor & many others before), it's okay. As a rap album, it's just okay. After "Smoke Some Kill" (1988), Schoolly's self-hyped Bad Negro image had become clowny. On this album he wants to be taken a bit more seriously, adding a bit of black power & drugs-f***-you-up-kidz social responsiblity. These insights aren't deep, but they seem like sincere expressions of home truths for the rap-as-CNN youth audience. For me, the white rock n roller, Schoolly was a lot more credible (and effective) insulting white rock n rollers. Rhythmicly the album is catchy but not compelling. Good, but not something I'd trot out to impress the neophite. Hear these first: * The Last Poets first two albums, recently reissued, are an unrelenting and deeply felt expression of sentiments Schoolly touches upon here, and they make Schoolly sound kid-safe by comparison. * Schoolly's self-titled debut album, dearly needing re-issue
