Jesse Weaver Jr. (aka Schoolly D) changed the course of hip-hop history as a pioneer of Gangsta Rap. He fused hardcore beats with explicit and gritty narratives about urban life in his home-town of Philadelphia.
Schoolly D paved the way for the likes of Ice-T and Notorious B.I.G., among others with such songs as Gucci Time
, Saturday Night
and P.S.K. What Does It Mean?
His music has been heavily sampled over the years, by such artists as The Roots, Jennifer Lopez, Lil' Wayne and by the Chemical Brothers in their 1997 smash Block Rockin' Beats
. Younger fans may know Schoolly's work from the Cartoon Networks' wildly successful Aqua Teen Hunger Force, for which he crafted the legendary theme song and contributes voice-overs.
