The Great Adventures of Slick Rick

Hey Young World is one of my favorite songs. Good work Cold Crack.

co-sign enstranged

its sad that if a rapper made a song like that now, it would get no tv/radio play. This song was popular back in the late 80's, very good message....and it helped me get through some tough times....

If there was no Slick Rick, there wouldn't have been Snoop

thats straight up bull****, you must be kidding me, i like rick, but he has nothing, anything to do with Snoop except Snoop remade Lodi Dodi, and made a couple wack songs with Rick but Rick didnt really do much work, I loved Childrens Story and i wasnt too much a fan of Mona Lisa but Ricks 1st album was good based on his song childrens story, his other albums were dreadful, but to say If there was no Slick Rick, there wouldn't have been Snoop, makes me think, you must be a mayweather or calzaghe fan(that means youre a dumbminded fool) or you mustve been a victim of a concussion

No one rapped like Slick Rick when Slick Rick came out

Snoop was very obviously influenced by Rick's style... I think he's even acknowledged it in interviews...

Slick ricks flow and storytelling were way ahead of time...At those 2 things hes easily one of the best ever.

Yesterday i went to best buy lookin to buy camron-purple haze. They didnt have it, so i bought the great adventures of slick rick...the 2nd oldest cd in my collection, next to rakim-paid in full.
