How a Black Man Feels

How a Black Man Feels is the fifth album by the American rapper Schoolly D.[1] It was released in 1991 via Capitol Records, his first album for the label.

[2] The album spawned three singles, "Original Gangster", “Where’d You Get That Funk From”, and “King of New York”.

KRS-One contributed to the production of the album.

[3] Schoolly D considered How a Black Man Feels to be a guide on living, and escaping from, the ghetto.

[4] Trouser Press wrote that "other than the unfashionable stripped-down beats (complete with Run-DMC samples), Schoolly’s ugly and all-too-common gangsta threats ... sound like a sorry-ass imitation jackin’ for bucks.
