P.S.K. What Does It Mean?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"P.S.K. What Does It Mean" was a song released in 1985 by the Philadelphia rapper Schoolly D on his independent label Schoolly D Records. P.S.K. are the initials for Park Side Killas, a street gang that Schoolly D affiliated himself with. The highly influential song is considered the first hardcore rap song and features incidents of graphic sex, gunplay, drug references[1] and one of the first uses of the word "nigga" in a rap song.
It would be critical to the rise of West Coast gangsta rap when the street hustler, gang member and upcoming rapper by the name of Ice-T released his hardcore anthem "6 in the Mornin'" that he has admitted in interviews was written after he heard Schoolly D's "P.S.K." Another fan of the song is musician Moby[2] and Danny Diablo who covered it with the Lordz of Brooklyn. A remix of "Ain't Nobody Stupid", written by Ne-Yo samples "PSK".[3]
