''Saturday Night! - The Album'' is the second album by Music/SchoollyD, originally released on his own label Schoolly D Recordings in 1986. It's best remembered for the audience favorites "Saturday Night", "Dedication To All B-Boys" and "Do It Do It". In 1987 it was re-issued by Jive Records, with several extra tracks. At the time reviews were mixed, with most critics put off by the explicit GangstaRap lyrics, but as time passed by it's nowadays VindicatedByHistory. Schoolly D would never receive the same commercial and critical success as this record did.
