Am I Black Enough for You? is the fourth album by rapper Schoolly D, released in 1989 via Jive Records/RCA. It was produced by Schoolly D and DJ Code Money.[1] The album did not chart, although three singles were released: "Gangster Boogie", "Pussy Ain't Nothin, and "Livin' in the Jungle". It was Schoolly D's last album for Jive Records.
"Am I Black Enough for You?" appears in the 1990 film King of New York.
Trouser Press called Am I Black Enough for You? "a loud and proud album that uses spoken-word bites (political speeches, Star Trek dialogue, Richard Pryor crack-horror routines) to increase the consciousness."[2] The Washington Post wrote that "the raised consciousness and subtler production only make this the rapper's least distinctive effort: There's nothing on this one as abrasively hilarious, or as indubitably Schooly [sic], as the previous platter's 'No More Rock and Roll.'"[3]
