Slick Rick came on the scene in 1985 with Doug E Fresh and the get fresh crew. Their first big song was The Show and Ladi Dadi on the B Side. Rick went solo right after that. He was born and partly raised in England before moving to NYC. He’s one of the best storytellers in rap history but he went to prison shortly after his album came out because he was also the first rapper to shoot someone. He shot at his bodyguard/relative who had tried to extort him and hit an innocent bystander in the process, and since he isn’t a natural born American they made an example out of him, he was released from prison sometime in the late 90s and they were going to deport him but he somehow beat that. He does old school concerts and performances mostly nowadays.
Certified classic!!! And that catchy melody in the sample that you said you like at the end was from the classic breakbeat record FRISCO DISCO by EASTSIDE CONNECTION. Also, the song he was singing (in the chipmunk voice) was WALK ON BY, most famously done by DIONNE WARWICK.
Manslick Rick was the man back then he definitely he definitely get a seat at what I like to call The Hip Hop Round Table the kangaroo hat with the eyepatch you didn't have nothing wrong with your eye but you will wear it that was a trend back then🤣
Slick Rick was very influential to a lot of rappers that came after him. Snoop Dogg’s Lodi Dodi is his version of Rick’s La Di Da Di. And Ice Cubes Gangsta Fairytales is his version of Slick Rick’s Children’s Story. A Teenage Love would another good track you should give a listen.
Another Slick Rick song you have to checkout is "Davy Crockett" It's another banger. Also do the Get Fresh Crew with Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick - La Dee Da Dee.
They treat Rick the Ruler like the boogeyman, or Freddy Krueger, as long as they don't say his name or think about him, he'll go away....nah, cause none of them rappers tell stories like that guy!!!!
This is a short out to my ex wife , mother of my kids. When I met her she told me her name was Mona. What?!! What's your middle name? Lisa. Let's do this !!!
