Details:
Schoolly D is the moniker of Jesse B. Weaver, Jr. (June 22, 1962) from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is one of hip-hop's pioneers. Noted as the âGodfather of Gangster rapâ in several books and publications proving that he created a genre of music, still widely popular far after over two decades. With his early records, Schoolly D indirectly paved the way for the west coast's gangster rappers. Ice T says about Schoolly D's record "P.S.K.": The first record that came out along those lines was Schoolly D's "P.S.K." Then I used the syncopation of that rap when I made "Six In The Morning". The vocal delivery was the same.
Musically, Schoolly D and his DJ Code Money came up with electronic hardcore beats. Later on, Schoolly embraced the black consciousness style, working together with KRS One. He contributed songs and music to many of Abel Ferrara films, and "Signifying Rapper" from Smoke Some Kill was used in Ferrara's film Bad Lieutenant. Schoolly also wrote "The Player" for Ferrara's film The Blackout, as well as the score to Ferrara's R'Xmas and others.

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, an American cartoon on the Cartoon Network channel in its Adult Swim strand, and most recently music for DJ Hero, created by Guitar Hero.
