Classic Clips: Legendary Philly Rapper ‘Schooly D’ Performing @ The Latin Quarter in NYC 1986 (Video)
Schooly D says he does not want to be a teacher in the clip above, but listen to the OG because he is speaking truth into the future. Shot in 1986, the Philly legend is speaking on realities in Hip-Hop (independence being freedom, parallels and similar perils in Rock-n-Roll and Rap, etc.) and more that hold in 2016. Plus, it is just really dope to flash back to a time when our culture was still finding its way. ‘No biting allowed’ was the rule and cultural appropriation was non-existent because no outsiders knew enough to ‘steal’ anything from us. Hip-Hop was barely a decade old.
It’s a short clip. Enjoy it thoroughly!
