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.
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.
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!
"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 honestly have to say, there's so many new shit rappers coming out and this man only has almost 200k subs, Slick Rick is one of the best and still bumping till this day💯👑💯🥂
☝🏽 Popping in the Maxi Cassette Single in the dual cassette deck today brought me back here..I hadn't seen this video in a very loooonng ass time! I must admit tho I was a lil disappointed when Slick Rick didn't include this one particular joint during his performance @The TD Garden in Boston, Ma. on 11/19/23 as part of The F.O.R.C.E Tour.. IMO "He Should've Done It!" 😁
Reminds me of Def Comedy Jam when Martin Lawrence hosted in the 90's. Kid Capri use to always play this at the end of the show and the dancers would come up on stage. Seems like 100 years ago lol.
As 90's as this is ... This is an art piece .. & Pure Culture *Sigh* People take care of our Art & Our Culture There is Blood Sweat & Tears in What We Build ...

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 🥶
This man is a legend. Just learned of him and I'm hooked.

more like he was scared as hell from his crazy jamaican cousin
Slick Rick still the ruler!
Definitely!
AND MC RICKY D!
slick ricks accent was so cool
It's British
+Cai Harris nah bruh
Cai Harris ik
+Hassan Islam Slick Rick is british
Yes....he is really good!
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.
The best storyteller and there's always a lesson to learn
30+ years later and this song still slaps.
Slaps is a good choice of word.
Absolutely
The best thing about Vintage Slick Rick man.... I get older and it stays the same age....
Gigity
Alright alright alright…

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
Saw this man live last week in London. He's the real ruler
SPIDER CUTTER
Wow that's dope bru
how's he like in real life?

Wow I never caught that before. LOL Damn near 30 year old easter egg. LOL
@@LTParis really?? I'm 15 lol

This hook is phenomenal
The style is ridiculous noone can imitate it. The gr8 storyteller

"And her first was this fly guy, made me very jealous."

He is a Brit
Slick is the definition of true flow
This song is so funky but so dark in lyrical aspect
timeless. just as good as the day it was released
His style is so unique. Living Legend!
I still bump that shit like it came out yesterday. The Great adventure of Slick Rick is a Classic!!
Good to see some mellenials appreciate True Hip-Hop
OG SLICK RICK#1
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
Stop
Look
That’s actually dope asf to hear about! I can definitely see how his flow and speed changed from his debut album
I'm feeling sad and lonely because they dont music like this anymore
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
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
Classic joint 🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite rick joints!!♡♡ ..that fly guy though! LOL!!
where the FUCK DID THIS MUSIC GO?
it did not go anywhere, it stayed, in 80s (((
Th3AngryPooch Summer '91 if I remember correctly
damn this was 7 years ago
When you listen to what he's saying, you know the story is devastating.
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.
slick rick, flyest dresser and best style in hip hop ever.
Slick lays it down on this track! Who's slicker than the "Ruler"? Nobody!
Brings me back to the good old days.
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!
Nas & Slick Rick My favorite rapper of all time
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. 🙏
2:49 Slick Rick lethargically voguing makes me smirk. Sad song though...
First song I ever heard and saw of slick rick back in 1991, instant fan! I had a crush on the blonde girl back then! Who is she?
I wish new rappers had vocabulary and word play like this
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 :/
millionaire by kelis, the "im feeling sad" part is sampled in the kelis song
You the man slick!! Im juslt learning now
She dropped some of her bling @ 1:27
Edward Gore ace hood auntie 😂🤣
Flow is mad. 🔥
This music video is underrated
The GOAT!!!!
BACK ON DA DAYS WHEN IT WAS NOT ABOUT LAMBORGHINIS $$$ AND FLASHING SHIT!!! REAL SHIT YO!!!
Such a classic song and style.
Slick rick a black british american rapper....no doubt hes feeling savage. He IS the OG!
I forget Slick Rick is my favorite EMCEE until I'm listening to Slick Rick again
Today is the 26th anniversary of this single dropping. Still dope
This sound needs to come back.
1:25 gotta love how the girl's earring fell off but she kept dancing never broke character
I miss being young
Slick rick the flashiest of all the ricks
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
lol remember those videos back in the days with someone popping up from the side.
I love this song, it's so cheery but the deeper meaning is very sad.
Rick the RULER.
That jail time interrupted one of the greatest story rhyme writers ever.
He was my favorite lyricist when I was young
slick Rick killed this still rocks
Classic. Playlist bound again
2019. ..2020..2021. there's only one ruler..and he's slick . Don't leave home without the Kangol, cheers!
This beat IS dope !!!
Made for Rick for sure.

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

Slick Rick is Solid Gold in the prime age of HIp Hop - The Ruler.
Best rap story teller ever
When he says "Picky" it sound so smooth wtf
Upset and upsetter!🎉
"Till I found out ways to make myself look better" (Money glued to his clothes)
Thank god this has over a million views. 91-greatest era for hip hop. Loved this track
Reminds me of Def Comedy Jam when Martin Lawrence hosted in the 90's. Kid Capri use to always play this at the end of the show and the dancers would come up on stage. Seems like 100 years ago lol.
Is this you in the video? LOL
Nope LOL
TOP FIVE RAPPER, GOD FIRST Y'ALL
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.
I remember this being played on In Living Color with the Fly Girls dancing as they went to commercial
In Living Color - that's where I would hear the new music!
I just saw that episode SW1 and the Fly Girls were gettin’ it when this playing, can’t blame them.
An Old School Cult Classic that never get's old!!!✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 On tha real!!!✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿
