Spoonie Gee made a list! And Schoolly's Saturday Night was my #2 alb! (Schoolly was a white critics' darling. I doubt that anyone black ever voted for him.)

(You needed to bold paid in full (made P&J '88) and if girlfriend and second Chilton.)

Hmm, yes. Saturday Night was NME's #20 LP. And Schoolly D made both the MM and NME Top 30 albums in 1986.

Another rapper whom this same set of UK critics loved was Just Ice. What was he like? I think I only own one song by him.
