Saturday Night the Album

Honest lyricism and pure originality. Unlike his first self-titled EP, SATURDAY NIGHT! THE ALBUM's song lengths are generally shorter, making for a harder hitting full-length with greater impact from beginning to end. Schools School and DJ Code Money came equipped with bigger, better drum machines, rapid fire scratching and discovered the joy of dropping quirky cartoon sound bites atop their patented dusted funk samples. 'We Get Ill' and 'Dedication to All B-Boys' are hard anthem highlights, while 'Parkside 5-2' continues 'P.S.K's' ode to his Philly neighbourhood, and the title track 'Saturday Night' is the kind of sleazy tale of misogyny that puts Schools D (along with acts like NWA and 2 Live Crew) in hot water with many parents, critics and community leaders. Originally released on Schools's own label and distributed by hand (and heavily bootlegged), the tracks from SATURDAY NIGHT! THE ALBUM received wider exposure when it was re-released on LP format via Jive Records in 1987.
