    "The moment I feared" & "Hey young world"... My personal favorites. The whole album is not only "real classic hip hop", but str8 up timeless music that knocks til this day. Facts!

      Brother, there hasn't been an album like Slick's 1988 Classic since. The album itself should be studied at a university. The multiple characters all rapped by himself was unheard of. The man is in a class of his own.

I know you will come out with some obvious shit cos youve never realy listened lol. As for rick. Fact is his british style is part of his "swag". If you were a real hip hop fan you would not dismiss other nations artists so easily. Most of the guys you listen to would not because they are smart enough to know. if you dont respect british people, I dont care at all. makes no difference to me.

    Ric speaking facts...I noticed people dont really like when cats keep it 100 bout their culture being THEIRS or how recent generations have completely perverted the essence of the original concepts and sciences. Maybe it was just ME but did yall peep how the host was kinda glarin at Ric when Ric was droppin those gems about one must learn a thing from the creators of that thing? Then it seems like after that they cut the show and brought Flex on which of course COULD have been a complete coincidence but it still didnt look good to me Ric is a living Legend a Hip Hop Icon and you dont ask questions? Ric's a real dude always has been matter fact thats how he got locked up...peace and blessings.

    Back in the day when I was putting my crew together, my boy Fat Dug let me here a tape of a dude he was rap'n with. He was nice, so I'm like who is this? It's his boy Ricky D aka Slick Rick. I tell him to ask him if he wants to get down with us. But he needs to do more than just story rhyme. He talked to him and he said he partnered up with another dude.
    A year later The Show and Ladidadi blow up. I got clowned for a while on that one. Even after blowing Rick was still a cool. If it wasn't for the bullshyt with his cousin I think he would have been even bigger in hip hop.
    Salute to Rick the Ruler. Thanks for hanging that L around my neck!

      I was with a crew that got an offer from Doug and Slick's label. Nobody in my crew wanted to be signed but me. They wanted to do it theirselves. I was dirt poor and woulda signed for thousand or a sandwich. The others ended up doing sloppy business and we never got more than known but broke. I always wonder if I would have amounted to anything if we got signed. I tried to get signed myself and they said you ddin't make the beats, scratch or do anything but rap...The said whole crew or not interested. So I remain anonymous as Ras Kas would say...th-cam.com/video/RiU_ysKjoyc/w-d-xo.html is one of our tracks from '84 and the following link is me in 2020 th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=johnny+afro+movin+numbers

    It continues to amaze me how many people think hip hop started in the Bronx...without checking out what was going on in the other boroughs. I'm from Brooklyn, and "hip hop" was there also. Grandmaster Flowers (from Brooklyn) put on his hip hop show at a James Brown concert in 1969 (at Yankee Stadium)..No one ever mentions that. Flowers was there from the real early days of Bklyn Hip Hop. I've always said..to learn the truth...people should track down the real old timers..aka Kool Herc...and ask them about early Brooklyn Hip Hop.

I think not. DO YOUR research my brother.

He doesn't want to talk a word about it and doesn't see the point of talking about them.
