- Live performance from the 1990 "Rapmania" concert at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York City....(Click "show more" for artist info)..
Song appears on the 1988 Album: "he Great Adventures Of Slick Rick"
Born to Jamaican parents in London, on January 14, 1965, Slick Rick, born Ricky Martin Lloyd Walters, is the most successful British-American rapper in music history. Brilliant word play, the effort-less ability to bring life to the stories he rhymed about, dead on pop-culture references and hilarious one-liners make him the wittiest rapper of all time.
He began his career in the late 80s, where he released a series of acclaimed recordings such as, "Children's Story", "La Di Da Di" and "Hey Young World." Slick Rick is best known for his British accent and his story telling innovations. His music has been frequently sampled and interpolated by other artists such as TLC, Talib Kweli, Eminem, Mos Def, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Snoop Dogg, Alicia Keys and many others; with many of these songs later becoming hit singles. Slick Rick is known as one of the architects of Hip-Hop.
These days, much of Slick Rick's story remains untold. The articles about his legal troubles may sell magazines, but they tend to overshadow the rapper's impressive and influential body of work. Rick has spent more than seven years in prison, three and a half paying his debt to society and over four years in a federal detention center while hassling with Immigrations Services over his residency in the US. Slick Rick has been in this country since his childhood and has become a productive member of our society.
Despite life's setbacks, Rick continues his commitment to his craft. Above all, Rick is very dedicated to his community. He regularly mentors the youth whenever he is given the opportunity to do so.
The Great Adventures of Slick Rick is the debut album by hip hop recording artist Slick Rick, released in 1988. The album is among the few to receive a perfect five-mic score from The Source magazine. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. In 2012, the album was selected by Slant Magazine as #99 on its "Best Albums of the 1980s." Hip hop artist Nas cites it as one of his favorite albums.
It topped Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart for five nonconsecutive weeks and peaked at #31 on the Billboard 200. The song "Children's Story" is also featured on the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, True Crime: New York City and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground.
In 2008, the single "Children's Story" was ranked number 61 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.

@@ArtisanWindchimes it's really sad the way yall be sleeping on Nelly and Ludacris! These dudes basically owned the early 2000's! From 2000 - 2005 it was all Nelly and Luda, hit after hit, until 50 cent came in and took over. Even Jay Z said it "Only niggas movin' units Em, Pimp Juice n us"! Nelly is 4th best selling rapper ever! What is wrong with you people???😳
@@cresswellchipman2533 ok I forgot Nelly but I did put Luda. Reread the honorable mentions of the 2000s

Slick Rick GOAT on the low many won’t say it but no one other than Kool G Rap is still featured on any top new rappers albums not LL not BDK not Rakim nobody but two rappers from the golden era of NYC & that’s MC Ricky Dee or G Rap no one else !
See first time, at end sounds to cool like "Non Sop"...💿🎛️📀 I heard this track from game, San Andreas. That's why I'm here. 🤔👍
Slick Rick has a strong neck
Is this Rap Mania 🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I haven’t seen this in years

Exactly! Why is he rhyming over the track? I thought he was a legend? Come on! Lets go Slick Rick!
@@SLPERIONTV I think he did that intentionally! It sounded really great and precise af

This is where Rakim and Big Daddy Kane were supposed to headline the battle. Also it was supposed to be LL Cool J vs Kool Moe Dee on the undercard. To bad it never happened Rakim wanted none of Kane in a head to head battle. U Rakim fans can claim different but the story had already been told by Eric B, Kane, Marley Marl, Freddie Foxx, and Mister Cee.
Knock em out Rick
Jay been dope since slick Rick's first chain
