What was the first REAL Gangsta Rap Record?

[jek]

Schooly D was technically the first but the first one that anybody gave a damn about was ice t 6 n the morning

 

[Lab Baby]

Was gonna post PSK. That was definitely one of the first. Those other records were inspired by it.

damn every song mentioned is a classic one but PSK inspired 6 in the morning which inspired every other gangsta rap track of the 80's after that so I voted PSK. Damn you took me back...

When I read the thread title PSK was the first song that came to mind.

Schoolly D....everybody knows that. He is without a shadow of a doubt the first artist to do a gangsta record....all the REAL artists will even admit to that. Philly!!!!

Schoolly D also made "Gangster Boogie" in 1984. It talks about selling weed. No label would press the record for him at the time, so he pressed them himself, which is why the labels look different on the records.

Here's one that deserves a mention

Girl - Too Short (1985)


But you could bring it all the way back to 1982 if you wanted;

The Message - Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5
