Random story: I once saw Slick Rick perform twice in one day at different stages. One of the stages was a big main stage where the crowd is ~10-15 feet back. The other stage, the artist could actually reach out and touch the fans.
On the main stage Rick came out with his usual 20-30 chains on. On the smaller stage he came out with a single chain. Was almost like he was saying, "I aint letting you crazy bay area fucks rob me." 😂😂😂
Haha! You know that is exactly what he was thinking.
Slick Rick is known for storytelling but what isn't really mentioned is his recording style. He is known for the "punch in" without us really knowing. A "punch in" is overlapping vocals. So he'd say a line and overlap the next at the end of the last sentence which would be impossible to perform live. I remember hearing songs like Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" as a kid and wonder how he sang his adlibs over himself. Not knowing The Beatles were doing that 20 years prior. Then to find out Slick Rick was a fan of The Beatles and even incorporated their tunes into his music under the hip hop worlds nose at the time is more interesting to know now then at the time. We didn't know that. We just thought it was dope.
Thanks, Smitty! I love stories like these.
This is one of the Greatest songs in Hip Hop(IMO). Incomparable. Unduplicated.
M.C. Ricky D the Ruler aka Slick Rick.
It's been a little over a year since I started this channel, and Slick Rick is in my top 5
Brother you didn't need to say anything, your face said it all.
This is my fav song of all time. I get emotional every time I hear it. I wish I would have took head to this as a kid.
How's your life now? I hope it's good!
@@ABoomerReacts Im on the path of healing ❤️🩹 Lots of meditation, chi gong and therapy. Attending SFSU in the fall for Film so Im proud how far I came. Still tough tho. Thank you for asking!
@@knowthyselfinstitute I'm wishing you all the best!
Me too.
@@knowthyselfinstitute rise!!!!
If you like ''lighthearted'' and positive hip hop, the best groups to listen to are ''De la soul'' and ''A tribe called quest''.
I do like that. Thanks for the advice!
@@ABoomerReacts he speaks the truth, finding out De La and Tribe was a gamechanging thing for my musical taste, finally some rap music I could easily relate to. Definitely you should try making a De La Soul poll and ATCQ poll. My favourite De La would be I Am I Be or Stakes Is High and from Tribe probably Electric Relaxation or The Hop
@@devotee187 You're so funny. Or so psychic. A poll comes out tomorrow of heavily requested songs. Stakes is High is already on it. Scenario is also on it but Electric Relaxation is popular too, so I could swap.
This is my childhood. So introspective. This song always makes me sad for some reason. Slick Rick was one of the first true rap superstars IMO.
Early on while doing reactions, I did LA-DI-DA-DI and I have loved Slick Rick ever since. I hear a lot of Rick in Snoop who is also one of my favorites.
This has been my favorite Hip Hop song since I first heard it 32 years ago, don’t see that ever changing. Hopefully someday you’ll react to my # 2, Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s They Reminisce Over You.
I'll definitely add it to my request list. Thanks for the suggestion. You could tell I really liked Hey Young World, too.
That song is already on my list. I've never heard of Pete Rock or CL Smooth. I'll put this song on a poll soon.
@@ABoomerReacts I Don't really know their discography much but T.R.O.Y is a classic anytime, will vote for sure
At a time when gansta's were rapping about the darker side, he had the -b- guts to write, produce, and release this!
Fantastic!
Well until the future happend to Rick, or Rick happened to the future, whatever; but for back then, props!
Still my favorite MC since starting this channel.
Doug E Fresh & Slick Rick - The Show
That one is def on my list!
Great song, great reaction and made me think of 3 great songs to add to your list;
OC-Times Up
Outkast ft Slick Rick-art or storytelling pt 1
Ghostface ft Raekwon and Slick Rick and RZA-The Sun
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll add them to my list. I have never heard of a rapper named OC.
Still the greatest storyteller.
He's in my top 5 MCs so far doing this channel.
Slick Rick "Mona Lisa"
Thanks! That song is def on my req list.
The way he laid his vocals on this album, the intonations, the way he would overlap his vocals when his bars were too long. There are certain techniques that of his production on The Great Adventures... that nobody dared to steal. It was something only he could pull off. That's why the album still sounds so fresh.
He's my favorite.
Self destruction is a great song 🎵
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add it to my list.
Hell yea "Self Destruction "and "We're All In The Same Gang" was the East Coast and West Coast Rappers Anthems back in the day. Stop the violence movement .
@@1966toronado Ah. Gotcha. I'll add "We're All in the Same Gang" to my request list.
@@ABoomerReacts Cool Man 😎
This was great! Slick Rick was one of those rappers that inspired a lot of rappers that came after him. Nas had a song called "I Can" from his "God's Son" album that seemed to be inspired by this and had a lot of commercial success. It's a similar up beat positive song talking to the kids.
That sounds great! I'll add it to my request list.
One of the most underrated rap songs of all time.
I love Slick Rick.
Slick Rick is the king of storytelling when it comes to Hip-Hop music! And his layers on his vocals..was ahead of his time..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Did you know that after doing this channel for a year, he is my favorite MC?
@@ABoomerReacts That’s awesome, I’ve been listening to hip hop since I was 9 and Slick Rick is the 1st rapper I heard (Childrens Story) and ever since I’ve loved hip hop. The Great Adventures of Slick Rick is definitely one of my favorite albums. Best Story teller ever in hip hop.
Slick Rick is a rap legend/icon...LOVE him so much❣️🥰️😘💯
I had never heard of him before I started this channel (April 2021) and he is one of my most favorite.
Slick Rick is one of my top five favorite rappers ever. Imo he's like your favorite rappers favorite rapper. This song was needed for a time weathered by the crack era. Mona Lisa is another classic by him
After doing this channel for a year, Slick Rick is my favorite MC
I think Slick Rick lived in the same area of the Bronx I once lived in (Wakefield). I never saw him but my friends spotted him a few times.
It seems like he would be hard to miss!
Conscious Hip Hop at it's finest * Memories of buying the album and enjoying it Big Time when it came out!!
Slick Rick is one of my favorites
Nas did a similar song called i know i can he even used slick ricks flow to show respect to 1 of his favorite legends.
That's awesome!
This one brought back a grip of memories ...i grew up with my older brother listening to this as a kid love it pal thanks foe that !!! C u next one
Music can really bring back memories., that's for sure.
If you did the whole Great adventures of slick Rick would be amazing 🤩
I've already reacted to 2 songs from it, so I don't know if that would work.
@@ABoomerReacts I think it would but who am I🤷♂️😀✌️appreciate you regardless
@@themightyfp You are a valued viewer is who you are. Did you know that after a year of doing this channel that Slick Rick is my favorite MC? He makes me smile.
@@ABoomerReacts Yea he’s been passed down to my kids they love singing along with their mother. Well to some songs he has some extremely graphic songs on the album but still great stories. So again if you get chance it’s just a fun ride.
I'm pretty sure someone already told you about Slick Ricks Hit "Teenage Love" which was a sad song but stired up deep feelings about a heartbreak and not being able to make the right choice in partners in that age range. Big Daddy Kane was in the video but didn't rap on the song. But this was One of Rick's best songs period
Thanks, Bren! Yes, that song is on my list. I have to react to another Slick Rick soon because I like him so much.
@@ABoomerReacts Alright now , cool. I'll be checking your reaction out then . One love💪
“Teenage Love” is bomb
@@rhondawitherspoon2758 I guess that song will have to be my next Slick Rick reaction!
@@ABoomerReacts Yay!
Rick is one of my favorite true old skool MCs. Please react to "Adults Only" "Mona Lisa" and "Treat Her Like a Prostitute" by him some time in the future.
Thanks for the suggestions! They are all on my request list. :)
Great tune, and I love that you loved it. Definitely a tune that makes you smile 😃
Yes it does! Slick Rick is my guy.
1 of my favorite songs🔥🔥🔥
I loved it.
@@ABoomerReacts "I Can" by Nas is a good 1 also. It's an inspiring song for young kids.
@@SUPREMEgoldchain_REAKTZ I Know I Can is on my request list. Is that the same song?
@@ABoomerReacts yes
I love this song. It’s so happy and upbeat, and it’s real as it gets! I wish hip hop like this had blown up the same way gangster rap did. It’s such a positive influence for the younger generations. Slick Rick made being a good person, being highly respectful, and being kind sound cool.
I couldn't agree more. Gangsta rap has its place but it shouldn't have been the predominant genre.
@@ABoomerReacts man I was born in the late 80s an grew up in the ghetto an now being in my 30s looking back I wish so bad hip hop like this was the dominant rap culture I grew up with instead of that gangsta shit.
@@ABoomerReacts but at the same time I think gangsta shit was more what we were relating to. I wish the positive rap was what blew up but the reality of my neighborhood was gangsta shit was more what we saw an lived every day. Boomer check out “we ain’t scared hoe” by project pat. As much as I wanted Rick to be like my neighborhood pat was what it was actually like.
@@ABoomerReacts also “aggravated robbery” by project pat. As much as I wish my neighborhood was “hey young world” by slick Rick the reality was it was aggravated robbery by pat. I think that’s why gangsta rap blew up. It wasn’t good but it was relatable.
@@ABoomerReacts Bingo. I like gangsta rap. Should never have been the face and voice of Hip Hop. Definitely should not have shut out all other forms of rap. Record executives pushed that because it sold.
Back in the days, every group had atleast one positive song on their albums.
Next Slick Rick reaction: THE RULER'S BACK.
Thanks! I'll add it to my list!
This is a really interesting concept. Good luck.
Thanks, Jay! And the best thing is I have a lot of fun doing it. Thanks for your encouragement!
@@ABoomerReacts Absolutely, this is one of the more original ideas I've seen on RUclips.
@@jaydisqus3353 That means a lot to me. Thanks!
Legendary
I love his delivery so much
Yes I love this song too! If you are going to react to more Slick Rick I have another suggestion could you please react to “I shouldn’t have done it”. It’s a fun Slick Rick song.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add it to my list.
The interesting thing about Slick Rick, much like Tupac, his music predicted his fate. His song Children's Story spoke of a young person running from the cops while armed and crashing a car. Slick Rick shot at a cousin that attempted to extort him. He fled the scene, was chased by cops and crashed his car. On the same album (The Great Adventures of Slick Rick) there is a song called THE MOMENT I FEARED where he ultimately ends up incarcerated and sexually assaulted. Many years later after his stint in prison, Slick Rick dropped what many consider his second classic album, The Art of Storytelling (there were two lackluster albums released while he was in prison). On The Art of Storytelling there is a song called ADULTS ONLY. He raps about his love of anal sex. I surmise that the moment Slick Rick feared happened in prison.
Wow, what a story! Creepy almost.
u tryin say he got raped in prison ..i doubt it lol
@@BGambino1215 Listen to the song ADULTS ONLY. Why would a heterosexual man that is with a woman be fixated on anal sex? Also, many victims have become victimizers in order to counter the trauma induced by being victimized.
@@williamwalsh3983 I never heard the song imma gonna check it out ..he probably was in involuntary protective custody anyways and his slick Rick pretty sure he paid for his protection ..and didnt he kill someone be4 so you no his not ready to risk it..but I doubt. It tho
Great Adventures of Slick Rick is the greatest hip hop album of the 80s! Followed closely by Gript It! by Geto Boys
I have yet to do a Geto Boys song although I have some requests for them. What's a big hit by them that you recommend?
@@ABoomerReacts Most people would probably point you to Mind Playing Tricks on Me from their 91 album We Cant Be Stopped
Thank you! That's one of the songs on my request list.
2pac did a similar type song with young niggas you should check out but I love the slick rick too
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add it to my list.
Royce da 5'9 LA Leakers #100 freestyle.
Thanks! I have some other freestyles on my list. Maybe I'll do a poll.
React to Erase Racism by Biz Markie….
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add it to my list.
@@ABoomerReacts
Correction….
Biz Markie is featured on that song, the song is actually by Kool G Rap….
Peace….
@@beoriginalallah5916 OK. I'll change it on my list.
Do mean to taint your image of slick rick, but after the success of this album rick did 9 years and fought deportation for attempted murder with a deadly weapon aka shooting his opposition in the bronx.
That's ok. I like how he raps. I can separate the man from the artist.
Actually, it was his cousin that he shot, in self defense.... His cousin was upset that he Slick Rick had cut him off financially ( for whatever reason) and attempted
to set Slick Rick up to be kidnapped and/or robbed ... Those are the facts....
