2.0 out of 5 stars Schoolly's first album must be reissued, September 10, 2004

Overall, the selection here favors dumb stuff. "Fat Gold Chain"? Come on.

Schoolly now has at least 3 "Best Of" jobs, mostly compiled for tunes or anthems; this one's anthems, and comes off like someone's hoping to be picked up for a TV commercial. His first two albums are out of print, so Schoolly's oeuvre is being judged largely on later, inferior work, which is a real shame.

Schoolly's 1986 debut "Schoolly D" (a 40 minute, six-song "mini album") is his (distinctive, standout) essential recording, and it hasn't dated like his (pretty good, but imitative) subsequent albums. It has never been issued properly on CD, but the Ryko compilation (also out of print) "The Adventures of Schoolly D" contains all 6 tracks.

"Best Of Schoolly D" begins with 3 of those 6 tracks, which should give you a feel for it. If you collect a lot of old rap, pay about $3 for the pleasure.

All I have to say is that I love me some Schoolly D. And listening to it on a Bose Wave is the best! Don't even get me started!
