    I love Slick Rick! He’s such a kind, giving person. He’s *AAAAALWAYS* by Fine Fare Supermarket by Baychester Avenue (where I lived for some years) and 233rd Street in The Bronx, giving out $100 bills. I’ve never been lucky enough to get any money from him, but he and my cousin are really cool and I chit chatted with him a few times or walked by his house and saw him or his mom. He’s really down to earth. Really lovely, cool, mellow guy. I’ve loved him since I was a child living in Jamaica and used to listen to The Ruler’s Back and The Art Of Story Telling, back when I hadn’t a clue that we’d become neighbours! Truly a Legend. ♥️🙏🏾

    His accent is purely American but the way he pronounces certain words you can definitely tell there's some British in there. When at 13:43 he said "2019 hiphop" his British accent when he says 19 is pretty prominent.
    I'd still consider the guy American but it's great knowing he originally came from Britain.
