Slick Rick had no qualms about appearing introspective and emotionally vulnerable on his raps, and he could tell a story along with the song, he didn't need to act all tough on his raps and front like a lot of rappers do. He saved his toughness for real life. The dude did jail time for attempted murder, he was no pansy but he didn't need to act like a tough guy, he was brave.
Very well said Rick! I got to direct this video and 'MISTAKES OF A WOMAN IN LOVE WITH OTHER MEN" with Rick, and you just described what made it such a unique experience.
Slick Rick is a GOAT! One of the most familiar and recognizable voices in HipHop, in my opinion...Yo Rick, Release some new fire shit...Gen X got your back!
Slick actually stood out from the rest. Lots of rappers had bars, but no one at the time had such a smooth flow... The only one who probably came close was Special Ed.
"And her first was this fly guy, made me very jealous." Oh my, he sounds so Brit the say he delivers that line and I love it! I can't tell you how many times I rewound it back to that part.
i remember reading about how he did this album and the one after, and a slew of videos, in a total of 21 days while he was out on bail waiting to be sentenced; they were good songs; just a little quicker than his usual rhyme speed but the lyrics were great...slick rick,forever the ruler
One of my favorites from slick im a 81 baby was like 9 or 10 yrs old at da time dis been da dance song i was da best dancer at school they clear da floor for me i know how to do every stylish dance they had out wit excellence had da kid n play high top just like kid.
This is still fucking true as fuck to this DAY! If you’re insecure about your Mrs all the time your nightmares will sometimes become a reality. Communication is the key fr holding grudges will lead to shit like this it’s sad how shit like this has only gotten worse as time went on :/
I was born in 92 but I like to come to these comments and see the young memories of the older adults. Even though I grew up in the early 2000’s. Songs like this are easy to relate to being that we once were teenagers with that puppy love, swearing we found the one at such a young age. Looking back I tell myself I would never have dated to this day if I knew then what I know now. Got that first cheated on experience in high school and looked at every woman after that the same 😭 later learned it’s just the majority and there’s some good intended people out there who are willing to be dedicated to one person only. Rare. But they exist, just haven’t met yet
his rap style and flow was legendary
Yesss
Not was, is.
His style is legendary
It’s so fresh and unique

Story: Sad
Beat: Happy
He waa good at that shit! Sublime is like that too!
Rodney Wade Da Best!!
Their are lots of upbeat songs that are actually pretty dark.You gotta pay attention to what the singer/rapper is saying.Read between the lines.
@@stevengreen9536 and you gotta put spaces after full stops 💀
@@fettywapsmissingeye Yeah yeah so long as you understood where i was coming from. 😛
The ease of the bars coming out of his mouth is stupid 🥶
slick ricks accent was so cool
It's British
+Cai Harris nah bruh
Cai Harris ik
+Hassan Islam Slick Rick is british

This man is a legend. Just learned of him and I'm hooked.
30+ years later and this song still slaps.
Slaps is a good choice of word.

The Ruler
Always been my favorite!
Slick Rick's style is still the finest and most longstanding in hiphop. Of all the people doing clothing and fashion, he should have ventured into it.
1:24 I think her earing fell, but it was cute when she just smiled and kept dancing 😁
kat i thought I was the only one who noticed 😂
funny thing most people wouldnt catch that on an 80's CTV tv
Wow I never caught that before. LOL Damn near 30 year old easter egg. LOL
@@LTParis really?? I'm 15 lol
Well, she was poppin' quite aggressive. 😂
Today is the 26th anniversary of this single dropping. Still dope
This hook is phenomenal

The style is ridiculous noone can imitate it. The gr8 storyteller
Snoop dog and warren g tried ...

Club bumper back in the summer of '91, one of the greatest, but not better than '94. Damn I miss those days! !
Lol i was born sept 2nd 1991
Slick is the definition of true flow
Brings me back to the good old days.
slick rick, flyest dresser and best style in hip hop ever.
Wow.. These days when we use to get jiggy to every song we heard on the radio with some hard beats damn these were the days, i miss you 90's
"And her first was this fly guy, made me very jealous."
Oh my, he sounds so Brit the say he delivers that line and I love it! I can't tell you how many times I rewound it back to that part.
mk
He is a Brit
Slick rick the flashiest of all the ricks
OG SLICK RICK#1

Made for Rick for sure.
This song is so funky but so dark in lyrical aspect
His style is so unique. Living Legend!
Good to see some mellenials appreciate True Hip-Hop
I'm feeling sad and lonely because they dont music like this anymore
I wish new rappers had vocabulary and word play like this
timeless. just as good as the day it was released
Slick is the man, iv heard some of his beats but not heard enough, slept on this dude for too long
you're forgiven it was ahead of your time
Dang how much im missing the 90s !!!
this is so 90s, i can't even....
So early 90's that it's really 80's!
Slick Is a legend He dont get enough credit like he should
Classic joint 🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:25 gotta love how the girl's earring fell off but she kept dancing never broke character
Slick lays it down on this track! Who's slicker than the "Ruler"? Nobody!
Living a gangsters life back in the day, I never imagined still being alive watching this on TH-cam in 2020... Thank God I woke up. 🙏
I miss being young
Upset and upsetter!🎉
i remember reading about how he did this album and the one after, and a slew of videos, in a total of 21 days while he was out on bail waiting to be sentenced; they were good songs; just a little quicker than his usual rhyme speed but the lyrics were great...slick rick,forever the ruler

Platinum 1991 Old School Hip Hop Evergreen.

I've said this a long time. Was born in 92. I missed all the good shit lol

This is still fucking true as fuck to this DAY! If you’re insecure about your Mrs all the time your nightmares will sometimes become a reality. Communication is the key fr holding grudges will lead to shit like this it’s sad how shit like this has only gotten worse as time went on :/
REAL HIP HOP! LIL WAYNE CAN'T TOUCH THIS!
When you listen to what he's saying, you know the story is devastating.
He was my favorite lyricist when I was young
This music video is underrated
Rick the RULER.
lol remember those videos back in the days with someone popping up from the side.
Classic. Playlist bound again
When he says "Picky" it sound so smooth wtf
Best rap story teller ever
That jail time interrupted one of the greatest story rhyme writers ever.
Slick Rick the Ruler 👑
Nas & Slick Rick My favorite rapper of all time
Best storyteller hands down...long live king Rick 👑
slick Rick killed this still rocks
Thank god this has over a million views. 91-greatest era for hip hop. Loved this track
She dropped some of her bling @ 1:27
Edward Gore ace hood auntie 😂🤣
Legendary MC Ricky D
This sound needs to come back.
I say Slick Rick is the king of swag
"Till I found out ways to make myself look better" (Money glued to his clothes)
No one peep his dancing moves in the end. Super fly
ok so I basically stepped back into my younger years. This is the King of story telling. A lost art in Rap.
it's not lost KRS one still does it
eric stevenson Ghostface Killah is basically a Slick Rick descendant, he does the storytelling very well.
eric stevenson yup

2:49 Slick Rick lethargically voguing makes me smirk. Sad song though...
Real hip hop slick is legend great song 🔥👌
He was such a unique rapper and i always thought he was sexy
Slick Rick is still Money!
I’m only 18 but damn i bet the 90s was some crazy times
otis houston it sure was!!
I’m a early 90s child
I Was Born In 83...Tha 90s Was Tha Shit!!!
I was born n 91 happy i lived thru some years n 90s to remember
Tha Tha Tha RulER!!!!
i like how this is an upbeat fun song about cheating on your girlfriend and coming home to her having committed suicide.
999a0s Yeah, it's an interesting contrast of tones. But, is it 'committing suicide' if it's an accidental overdose which I think it was?
+assmane999 he also says that he "found this letter", so I guess it's suicide
lmfaooooo so true
999a0s yea that last part I was sayin was a tad harsh.
WHAT
I'm glad this was recommended
2019. ..2020..2021. there's only one ruler..and he's slick . Don't leave home without the Kangol, cheers!
His out fit so drippy omg
Only now, 30 years later, I notice Slick Rick was VOGUEING.
In Living Color brought me here from an episode from 1991. This came out when I was only 2, man I wish I was old enough to get down to this in a club.
