Schoolly D · Hip-Hop/Gangsta Rap
Schoolly D's self-released Philadelphia debut, built on minimalist Roland TR-808 beats and DJ Code Money's turntable scratches, is widely credited as gangsta rap's founding record; 'P.S.K. What Does It Mean?' pioneered the street-narrative template that Ice-T, N.W.A and Dr. Dre later built on.
