Schoolly D: Triumph Of The Ill

Frank Owen, Melody Maker, 15 November 1986

He was reputed to take a Magnum along to interviews, once stalked the streets with the notorious Park Side Killers gang, and was generally reckoned to be the meanest hip hopper in town. He thinks the Beastie Boys are a bunch of sissies, but Frank Owen wonders if he might just be the first Yuppie Yo Boy.
