<P> Schoolly D's debut album, Schoolly D, and especially the song "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?", would heavily influence not only Ice - T, but also Eazy - E and N.W.A (most notably in the song "Boyz - n - the - Hood") as well as the Beastie Boys on their seminal hardcore hip hop - influenced album Licensed to Ill (1986). </P> <P> Boogie Down Productions released their first single, "Say No Brother (Crack Attack Don't Do It)", in 1986 . It was followed by "South - Bronx / P is Free" and "9mm Goes Bang" in the same year . The latter is the most gangsta - themed song of the three; in it, KRS - One boasts about shooting a crack dealer and his posse to death (in self - defense). The album Criminal Minded followed in 1987, and was the first rap album to have fire arms on its cover . Shortly after the release of this album, BDP's DJ, Scott LaRock was shot and killed . After this, BDP's subsequent records were more focused with the inadequate rationale removed . </P> <P> The first blockbuster gangsta rap album was N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton, released in 1988 . Straight Outta Compton would establish West Coast hip hop as a vital genre, and establish Los Angeles as a legitimate rival to hip hop's long - time capital, New York City . Straight Outta Compton sparked the first major controversy regarding hip hop lyrics when their song "Fuck tha Police" earned a letter from FBI Assistant Director, Milt Ahlerich, strongly expressing law enforcement's resentment of the song . Due to the influence of Ice T, N.W.A, and Ice Cube's early solo career, gangsta rap is often somewhat erroneously credited as being a mostly West Coast phenomenon, despite the contributions of East Coast acts like Boogie Down Productions in shaping the genre and despite Philadelphia rapper Schoolly D being generally regarded as the first gangsta rapper . </P> <P> In the early 1990s, former N.W.A member Ice Cube would further influence gangsta rap with his hardcore, socio - political solo albums, which suggested the potential of gangsta rap as a political medium to give voice to inner - city youth . N.W.A's second album, Efil4zaggin (1991) (released after Ice Cube's departure from the group), broke ground as the first gangsta rap album to reach #1 on the Billboard pop charts . </P>
