Slick Rick, Kool Moe Dee, Last Emp and Masta Ace.
Slick Rick is criminally underrated and he seems to simply have become a name that people drop when Britian or story telling is brought up just to look like they know what they are talking about. He should be, he deserves to be treated like an all out great, because he is. He brought way more to rap than story telling. He brought a swagger and a sense of humour that didn't exist before him and is still copied today. Along with Rakim, no other rapper is sampled and quoted more than Rick.
What is symbolic of this is when you type 'Lodi Dodi' into google, you get snoop, everlast and even Korn etc, but you don't get Slick Rick. I'm not saying this because I'm British, because I don't really identify with him as being such.
Kool Moe Dee is much the same only in reguards to battling.
Masta Ace... ****, I just feel sorry for him. At least Rick and KMD get the 'psuedo' props, Ace gets **** all and was consistantly sick from start to finnish. Probably has a top 3 story telling track in Block Episode.
