Be respectful! Who could it be? The Great Adventures of Slick Rick is Rick's debut album released in 1988 on Def Jam Records. Marked by a distinct voice and a flow unlike anyone else had at the time, Ricky Walters was a breath a fresh air. Votes are used to help determine the most interesting content on RYM. This is, bar none, the most sampled and bitten album in hip hop history, and there are basically three reasons for that: it appealed to both underground and mainstream, it had dope beats, and it had one of the best and most charismatic MC’s ever to grace the mic at his best. All the community rules apply here. Very few rappers can match the flow and smooth delivery of Slick Rick. – I almost blinded herShe said, ‘Great Scot, are you a thief?Seems like you have a mouth full of gold teeth’Hahahaha, had to find that funnySo I said, ‘No child, I work hard for the moneyAnd calling me a thief? Perhaps the best line to sum up the song is: “Shit on motherfuckers, then I tell them who the fuck I am / My name’s Rick, so now you know who’s ruling it”. The lead track of The Great Adventures “Treat Her Like a Prostitute” is a prime example because it works on so many levels. 1988, smack in the middle of what is often referred to as the Golden Age of hip hop. This album, though, will always be best remembered for song that created the blueprint for modern storytelling raps. Superstar artists, the likes of Nas to Snoop to Raekwon to OutKast have all listed Slick Rick as one of the biggest influences on their styles and careers. Don't comment just to troll/provoke. That song is utter trash. Overrated and hit/miss but fun in any case. Album Rating: 5.0This is a classic hip hop album period. But a few truly terrible songs really do ruin the whole for this one. Holy shit this has aged poor. Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z. Album Rating: 3.5Sadly, I can't say I was joking when I wrote this review. Hey Young World= one of the greatest songs in Hip-Hop, ever. Slick Rick's reputation as hip-hop's greatest storyteller hangs on his classic debut, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, one of the most influential rap records of the late '80s -- for better and worse.Most of the production is standard early Def Jam, but Rick's style on the mic is like no one else's. This dude sounds like a really bad pornstar name. Please, don’t even try itSit down, eat your slice of pizza, and be quiet”. “Children’s Story” is a masterpiece that is sounds as fresh today as it ever did; it were re-released as a single, it would be as big a hit now as it was the first time around. They are too light hearted, positive, and/or good natured to be released on a rap album today. On top of that, this song coined SO MANY famous hip hop phrases it’s not even funny. Once upon a time, not long ago, two young MCs performed "La Di Da Di" and "The Show". I used to have cold showers for the health benefits, plus the pain & discomfort were said to build resilience . "On GP" being the highest rated Hip Hop single of all time, comment on the last five rated albums by the user above you. Lines like: “That’s not the half till you start to ride her / Take off your rubber and there’s one more inside her! wow. Most overrated LP's in the official Hip-Hop Canon. I am pretty sure Slick Rick is the coolest MC of all time. But, to reiterate, Slick Rick was one of hip-hop's most recognizable and flamboyant acts. Still, the fact that the song teaches a lesson did not prevent it from sparking controversy. Jokes are fine, but don't post tactless/inappropriate ones. Teenage Love does drag. So I get the Slick Rick is considered a great lyricist and everything, but what the fuck is "Indian Girl (An Adult Story)" (correct answers include "terrible" and "definitely not appropriate even in 1988"). He practically created the style, while everyone else was rapping about themselves or partying. Fur coats, velvet suits and silk shirts, gold and diamond grills, and gator shoes: Slick Rick was one of the flossiest in the hip-hop game, one of the original Big Pimpin’ MC’s. Use the boards for extended discussion. Before this time, telling stories in the lyrics was not a common thing in the genre of rap music. Album Rating: 4.5You underrated the hell out of this, but I agree with a lot of what you said. My hard core friends loved Lick The Balls; The music, words and Ricks delivery makes this one unbeatable. One of them was known as MC Ricky D, who became of rap's most recognizable MCs. Storytelling has been an important part of hip-hop for a long time but Slick Rick is often dubbed as the Greatest Storyteller of all-time, which is a title entirely justified. There are no chinks in Slick Rick’s armor; he does everything well, and this album showcases all of his abilities. / I think it was a slick rapper, his name is MC Ricky” essentially introduced the mainstream media to hip hop’s raunchier side. Especially if it wasn't in first-person perspective. The X-rated “Indian Girl: An Adult Story” is a small masterpiece in itself, given Rick spends most of the time perfoming dialogue between male and female characters, with voice inflections and all, and caps it off with one of the funniest endings an song’s ever had. just listen for yourself and see. Genesis Does! Don't get in arguments with people here, or start long discussions. This type of subject matter had before been relegated to underground rap, but now was on a hit album that would be certified platinum less than a year after its release, a much bigger deal for a hip hop album then than it is now. Album Rating: 5.0Slick Rick is underrated. What years do you count as Golden Age Hip Hop? The fact that this is an excellent album anyway is only magnified by the enormous impact it had on rap music. Perhaps the most slept on song of the album is “The Moment I Feared.” Despite the darkest beat of the album, it is full of witty narratives and hilarious moments. Past music, though, Slick Rick re-defined the image of a rapper with this album. Storytelling rap at its finest from one of its best performers: Slick Rick, with his typical English accent, creates a classic album, full of brilliant gems thanks to a rapping delivers in a formidable and absolutely dope way and to one of the best productions of the decade. Equally amazing as the groundbreaking lyrical styles showcased here are the beats. A man that wears an eyepatch and. early hiphop like run-dmc and slick rick era was epic as all. Everything on this song is perfect: Vance Wright supplies a superb beat, and no one has ever made a story rap flow as effortlessly as Rick did here. Really I don't like any of the songs here, but most of them aren't bad. Two words: timeless classic. The last part made us crack up and was a favorite of mostly everyone I knew. For the most part, Vance Wright’s (who produced or co-produced every track) production is very modern sounding, and not in a negative way; the beats from “Children’s Story”, “Mona Lisa”, “Lick the Balls”, in particular, would not sound at all out of place on the radio today; the fact that many of the beats on this album have been sampled into hits is further evidence of that. 2020 has been like one long cold shower with zero health benefits! / It’s not yours? . Rick for the most part, Rick avoids complex metaphors and similes, instead taking advantage of one of the most arrogant-sounding voices ever to grace hip hop and just talking trash. I wasn't alive in '88 so I am just gonna go ahead and say that everyone is lying about when this came out and it was actually '97. Much of the album can be considered a joke, though, as I'm sure those parts were intended to be. The Reason Hip-Hop Is The Shit. Like, It Takes A Nation of Millions, Paid in Full, and Critical Beatdown all came out before this and have ages miles better, Indian Girl has to be one of the worst songs I've ever heard, crime, sexual, vulgar, humorous, boastful, male vocals, urban, quirky, sarcastic, satirical, rhythmic, playful, hedonistic, Anniversary Edition, Bonus Tracks, Deluxe Edition. Look deeper, though, and you’ll find that the true message Rick is sending to both males and females, is that if you rush into relationships, you might get burned. For example, “Hey Young World” is a reggae-flavored song about respecting your elders and taking responsiblity for your life.

And MC Ricky D, now known as Slick Rick the Ruler, after three years on the backburner, was about to return and have an impact on the game that is felt to this very day. Album Rating: 3.5This is a very under-rated hip-hop album. The hit singles “Teenage Love” and “Mona Lisa” are two songs that, like “Children’s Story”, still sound fresher than most NEW material released. A far cry from the “fuck the world” raps that clog the scene today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBcpkPSnCRI #HappyHalloween2020 @StarmanNJ @FlyinBrianJ @PrincessTekki @Pixel66 @ACR_Collection @R8edR_ @SirKrunch, He's the (samurai) ghost with the most, babe. The former is a heartfelt song with Rick dropping his wisdom on young love; the latter is a light-hearted, humorous tale of Rick macking on a fine lady in the pizzeria as told via Rick’s witty story flipping skills: “And when I smiled – BING! Enough rhyming. With the exception of a few acts such as the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC, rap music was still dominated by cats wearing cheesy sweatsuits and the same flow utilized by the Sugarhill Gang and Kurtis Blow. Keep your comments focused on the release. The Great Adventures of Slick Rick puts all that storytelling on display, "Children's Story" is still one of the most praised hip-hop classics to this day, and while the other songs don't quite reach that level, the storytelling makes the album a fascinating listen, even though some of them are silly or downright misogynistic.
