Slick Rick-Hey Young World

[MillzThaLyricGod]

slick is so fuckin dope this joint take me back to when i was 16 and i started writin flows

[makenart]

Slick Rick's flow on this album "From The Great Adventures" was so SICK!! I used to play this album every FKN day when I was a kid, it was, and still is the shit! Unlike today's artists It was artists like this, and other artists of that time (80's & 90's) that really INSPIRED me to wanna be apart of & create MUSIC. I'm glad I grew up at a time where MUSIC was ESSENTIAL in peoples lives. BTW I guess this is where Beyonce got her inspiration from with her song Party, huh

[blacksultan85]

'88 CLASSIC FRESHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hasbey1]

Slick Rick= great storyteller...entertaining, and at the same time relevant and inspiring!

I miss this!

[THISaintWHATyouWANT3]

[jordantheguy12]

[901flaminskull]

@jordantheguy12 Amen to that.

[TheBunnun]

rap version of supa cat.

[KindredKunoichi]

Undisputedly one of the finest Hip Hop Albums ever!!! While you're on the floor in bits you're still bobbin your head!!!

This song exceeds all standards and sends nothing but love!!!

[KimKIMMYPossible]

Love Peace & Nappiness <3 <3 <3 The Lost Boyz

[TheeBajanbeauty]

Backside!! Is Slick Rick a prophet or what?! It really is 'cool to look bummy and be a dumb dummy' today. All these 'man-boys' walking around with their pants hanging under their behinds. Their great-great-grand parents would say, "I didn't get lynched so you could walk around acting like a *&%/#! retard!"

[dannydank]

Peep the Nas remake!

[alonzocates]

song is dope im lovin it.. Hey young world

[docternasty123]

2011 this song is still going hard !!!!

[jordanwilbanks]

im 14 and this is one of my favorite songs

[TrueSomename]

@jordanwilbanks same here haha well not my fave but pretty good.

[SuperJustme42]

old school is the best

[newgondiwatergate]

This song is so prophetic.

[newgecko]

Rick the Ruler !!!

[slydogg70]

We were a young world and didnt understand that he really was talking to us about our future

[gigolo25]

Rappers will never be the same. I'm from this era, these kids today don't rap or battle in ciphers anymore. They don't go in to see who has the best lyrics or who's skills are better than who's. Now they make demo's for a some 50 year old Corporate Exec, what the fuck do they know about hip hop? The love of money has ruined OUR artform. I still know this song word for word and it came out when I was like 15.

[MultiMayik]

como me encanta esa cansion slick rick forever

[schoolydable]

Yeah this is old school and slick. All these comments are true. We need to get it together, word, bring it back, that old New York rap

[chikako8395]

i am convinced slick rick foreshadowed our generation

[artichoke811]

Dr. Dre makes a beautiful sample from this track. Dr. Dre Young World

[zn37]

how does someone not like this song?

[ElConquistadorNo1]

@zn37 I didn't like it the first few times I heard it when it came out in '88, but sometimes it takes a while to recognize a masterpiece

[MegaWomboCombo]

he knew that todays music would be like this and thats why this song was made

[armeniankobe2495]

DETOX

[Sonniex4]

Ooh, this was my jam!

[mzmaroon]

hey young world!!!!!!!!!

[Devins4gp]

Im only 18 and Slick Rick is one of my top 5 favirote rappers

[ConceptQuad2]

Its rewarding to know that a British Born rapper is classified as one of the greatest rappers of all time!!

[E4gle25]

check out brother ali guys

[katimere2]

If you smoke crack now your kids will smoke crack tomorrow.

Society's a weak excuse for a man.

Righteous laws are over due.

Ole school rap yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jsalcedo23]

Slick Rick is so... Slick.

[Blackboilingrobotoil]

Everyone is talking about how bad music is now, but that's because that's what sell because the kids don't know any better, so tell'em! Slick Rick is here RIGHT NOW, I'm listening to him and my little son is dancing around the room. This generation has access to everything ever recorded, show then the real stuff! That's our job, if we don't tell'em, who will? Not the record companies. They might not like all of it, but that ear for quality is gonna stay with them and inform the next generation.

[mQQney]

@Blackboilingrobotoil SO right you are. My son Loves my music. he listens to very little that is released these days.

[BeenaBee]

Slick Rick like alot of the rappers that were emerging in the 1980's caught on fast to the way White America wanted to trap the black community into a ghetto lifestyle, songs like these were to uplift and educate the black community to strive better in life. Fast forward to 2011, we have Young Money, Lil B, Wacka Flocka Flame, White Girl Mob, Kreyshawn, making it fashionable to act like a moron, be lazy and uneducated. I kinda wonder where history lost its way...RIP Hip Hop

[Blackboilingrobotoil]

@BeenaBee I agree completely but I don't think it was ever about what "white America" wanted, I think it was/is about what CORPORATE AMERICA wanted; which is whatever will be even more shocking and even more "street" then what came out before. Whether its black kids from the inner city or drugged out "devil worshiping" white kids, they want dangerous because that's what sells. Kids wanna listen to whatever will shock their parents, and record companies will sell'em whatever that is.

[BeenaBee]

@Blackboilingrobotoil I know what you mean but that's really when the media starts to criticize rap music for its misogyny and lack of relevant social messages forgetting that these songs of hope truly exist, not only on wax but in the minds of every inner city kid looking for a way out.

[Blackboilingrobotoil]

@BeenaBee And they lose out more than anyone, not only being encouraged by their hero's to try and live up to a ridiculous character of what a black male is "supposed" to be, but having to deal with other people expecting them to be that way too.

[DEATHBYSOCIALIST]

@BeenaBee shut up with your pseudo-intellectual  non-sense.

[BeenaBee]

@DEATHBYSOCIALIST haha what?

[BrokeandCopa]

Blessed to be born in "1980" and that's all I can say.

[1beamer11]

Today it's all about violence, back in the day when Yo mtv raps was on the air they used to play lots of cool rap music, it's Nowere near as good today .

[AHWSR72]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES RAP SONGS.SLICK RICK IS ONE OF THE BEST.

[breezwonder]

Hip Hop is Black Music/Culture

[traphop12]

[TheJbreez]

[Emahola]

Young wo o o o woooorldddd

[Youngbee30]

Best Album! I love it!

[MEKoBane718]

The Great Adventures of Slick Rick is quite possibly one of the top 5 hip hop albums ever....No One has had an effect on the game like Rick with such little LPs ever dropped...this dropped in the 80s and is still being Jacked

[Mrallin1970]

This is a hell of a message! Listen and learn.

[Roddy101]

this is where lloyd got it from??

[laxhottie36]

I'm blessed that i have this music in my life, I thank my father w/ all my heart i swear lol b/c while my whole hs is bumpin kesha and jay sean i'm bumpin every single oldie i gew up w/<3

[mizeyesis]

Still love this song as I have for over 20 years... CLASSIC!

[SithLordNefaar022]

"It's cool to look bummy and be a dumb-dummy and dis-respect ya mommy!"

My favorite rap line (one of thousands anyway :)

To all the REAL hip hop lovers, you can keep the essence by rocking tees with quotes and lyrics from all the illest rappers of the 90's (Slick rick, biggie, nas, big L, rakim, big daddy kane and NWA 2 name a few) , if this interests you inbox me and i'll give you the site to hit up :D

REALHIPHOP ain't dead just yet........ :)

[kongreggate1]

ahhhh this is my jam! :D

always bumpin rick the rula

[FOGang]

WHOOPIE DOO!!!!!

[newmoon002]

dang Shame that in todays world this is song is still so relevant. These black churches, and politicians should be ashamed of themselves. I'm raising my children to be free thinkers, and constitutional conservatives. Not a slave to what these entertainers, and hip hop culture pushes for black people should act like.

[walkingparadox17]

@newmoon002 well said

[ThaMuzikFiend]

@newmoon002 I wish my parents would raise me like this. My dad is telling me to be like everyone else and if not my life would be miserable. I'm shutting him up with making mixtapes and djing shit for my cousin at an early age. He's not abusive but he is a retard like the rest of society and says that my atheism is fake and that I will convert back to christianity.

[edscottable]

people blame the west coast for making hip hop violent, but the east coast was through with this rapping friendly shit before nwa came. east coast people themselves started to think that shit sounded corny. east coast was already starting to rap all of beat and shit even before cube and eazy. de la soul, tribe called quest, just like nwa, compton's most wanted it was all an act. entertainment either way whether hippie or gangsta. both sensational.

[REALCLASSIC1]

NaS and this dude sound a like...He's the brittish version of NaS

[bigmo10]

@REALCLASSIC1 ROTFLMAO!!



[lkgeorge92]

@REALCLASSIC1 You mean nas is the american version of him

[Istaychiseled]

@REALCLASSIC1 Big mo can laugh, but if you asked Nassir himself, I think he would consider it a complement and an (almost) utmost honor to be associated with Slick Rick regarding rap competency and talent.

[qjbeautiful20]

i love dis song

[AmatZelo]

NEW GENERATION IS BRAINWASHED!

[Pirate7X]

3 people need to act like an adult...

[dig326553]

I'm part of the new generation and I accept this song. This is my kind of music. I'm a real hip hop head and I want to find more like this kind of music......It's dope.

[Justin5540RoolZ]

this song will teach all the kids like me a lesson im 14 music these days tells children to treat women like shit and throw money at everyone

[Musicbychuckjvl]

this was my anthem in 1989, every now and then I listen to old scholl rap. it took me back to a time when I was discovering who I was

[wl6309]

I like how even though he moved to America he stayed mostly English with his words, Im English and i didnt know English people could rap! i guess America had a part to play in that.

[EmpressKamii]

this song came out the same year i was born in 88' i still listen to this song .. its sad how different this generation is .. i wish rappers would go back to making more meaningful songs like this instead of the usual negative & trashy music playing all the time--

[juvieboston254]

this to me iss the best hip hop song ever,not rap but best hiphop joint ever.slick the ruler,hail the king!

[neacie1000]

i love this song

[neacie1000]

i love this song

[iloveddlovatox33]

We need more music like THIS .

[Sean3088]

4 real. We need music like this all year round. Most of that new music is WHACK!!

[djmiskin]

this may cause concern, why don't ya'll listen and learn...

Dont be a fool like those who dont listen to Ricky D

[amhs101]

lloyd bank's favorite song

[classOverTrash]

loveee this song!!,DAMN I MISS THE 80s!!!

[01tnql]

"times have changed, and its cool to look bummy and be a dumb dummy....." rick was speaking of that time, but he also saw the future. sad we've gone from this to rick ross, lil(brain) wayne and other "i'm proud to be a thug" idiots.

[Sean3088]

YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH ON THAT.

[monecaful]

I totally AGREE......this jibberish that they play now....THANK G. 4 THE INTERNET....CAN LISTEN 2 THE "REAL DEAL" ANYTIME I WANT 2....hey "young world"...anytime a song is heard 20 plus years later and it make u loose ur mind .....THAT'S REAL TALENT@

[Swanzetta]

Dam, I almost forgot about Rick! This was the song back in the day! The Teens and some fake adults need to hear this song so they can get their sh*t together!

[MrFlyascanb]

3 people where born after the year 2000

[Mato3G]

who the fuck dilslikes true hip hop, dislike weezy and other fakers

[Mato3G]

who the fuck dilslikes true hip hop

[kingrob29]

Go for yours because dreams come true...Great tune!

[chaingang342]

Man I wish I was a teen in the 80's!

[MrTonyCejas]

@chaingang342 I was a teen in the 80's...and I had fun...It was cool to be smart and listen to music with messages back then...but who's to say that music now is all bad...guess what? They said this music sucked back then also, but now its a classic....

[TheBre0130]

im soo luvin the beat

[zookiee4twee]

This is p.shade i am26 this nigga is a beast.

[slimshadybythedozen7]

fuck vevo , bring back the oldschool stuff

[makemecash1]

"And if you smoke crack, your kids will smoke crack tomorrow"

[lil5028]

Dam this song take me back to when i was comin up thru the years

[MissSterious97]

This is before my time, I suppose, but I grew up listening to this. I like listening to rap and hip hop that actually has a meaning other than, "That booty on tha dance flo so sexy."

[ChiDaze]

2 people are dumb dummys

[supremeplayas]

I do feel sorry for the new generation. I just got finished telling my kids this song was on repeat in my walkman. I learned from music like this. I hope they can soon have mainstream musicians that inspire for a better life in a positive way. Peace young world.

[ivanm10]

@supremeplayas

I agree with you, the new generation is being dumbed down praising about material things goin out to the club and gettin drunk. The only rapper that i beleive brings positive messages is Lupe Fiasco... so please support real hip hop and build ur mind faster!!!

[BBaddubose]

@ivanm10 I just said that last week. You got sense!! What if Common, Lupe and John Legend did a song.AWWWW/ You must be me too!! Alright Ivanm, from B Bad...

[JonasBTV]

@supremeplayas

That's exactly what my dad was saying the other day! This song helped inspire him to aspire to bigger and better things!

[billgatesxD]

@supremeplayas im so sorry for m kids.... im 14 :)

[toastybunsprod]

@supremeplayas this song was on repeat on your walkman when you were a kid?

Im 16, and this is on repeat on my ipod, car, phone, computer etc...

[monipooh180]

@supremeplayas I feel you. They dnt make music like this anymore.

[mack665566]

@supremeplayas i agree..and im part of this new generation...im ashamed

[Neejay]

@supremeplayas I agree. I was born in 85, but I wish I'd been born in late 70s so I could have actually enjoyed the 80's generation of music. I get tired of all this BS that's out now.

[mQQney]

@supremeplayas Repeat? I cant tell you how man time I ran this song from the day I bought the CD in Japan, to making my mix tapes. At one point and maybe still is my 2nd most listen to song behind Moments In Love. This track IS LIKE THAT!!!!

[mQQney]

@supremeplayas this generation has been deprived by its artists (if you want to call them artist)

[claytoncarroll1]

What I don't get is this,

All the newschool rappers grew up on this, but all they talk about is bitches guns and money.

So what the fuck happened?

[kingrob29]

@claytoncarroll1 Good question.

[PS3xMedia]

@claytoncarroll1 the thing that annoys me is that these commercialised rappers are killing their own favourite genre, how can they live with that

[SithLordNefaar022]

@PS3xMedia

Simple answer.... The millions they make bastardizing rap helps them sleep at night. Slick Rick & the other 90's rappers didn't make as much bread as these guys but they captured the ears of ppl all over the world, not to mention respect. These guys spread ignorance and make millions on top of selling the youth down a river on that bitches guns and money crap. So the perception is they're doing something right... that's the perception, anyway smh....

Capitalism at it's best.....

[PS3xMedia]

@SithLordNefaar022 yeah but seriously, why would u want to kill ur favourite genre for money?

my only thought would be that they dont know they are doing it because by making bare dollar they think they are good rappers. WRONG

[1lightqt]

@SithLordNefaar022 TRUTH!!! Couldn't have said it better myself...you summed up today's so called "hip hop" in this paragraph...kudos to you!

[stoneycaldwell]

@SithLordNefaar022 TABERNACLE. Couldn't of said it any better.

[monipooh180]

@claytoncarroll1 They dnt hve anythanqq tew rap bout. Ik its sad. My qqeneration is the worst of all. Im an oldies baby. I dnt like nun of this new skewl shidd. I like dah old skewl shidd. They went hard baqq then.

[SamuraiZach0]

@monipooh180 You want to speak that in English?

[bluemoon1012]

@claytoncarroll1 dey got too cocky

[zackthemack]

@claytoncarroll1 new school rappers grew up on cash money, mystikal, dmx, ludacris, ja rule, ying yang twins, eminem. not slick rick, ll cool j, run dmc, and dougie fresh. different generation completley

[crazonium]

@claytoncarroll1 what happened is that they didnt grow up on this cuz im 36 and i grew up on this they grew up on master p and hot boys............theres a generation gap in rap.... this is hip-hop noones putting classic music out like this.......hey young world stand for something or you'll fall for anything!

[Dante95nyc]

@crazonium He's talking about the grown tweenty something year old rappers. 50 Cent grew up on this, but he's putting out crap.

[jkbezo]

@crazonium

Not entirely true. I'm 36 too and grew up on stuff like LL cool J and Slick Rick ( while in middle school) late 80s, after high school was stuff like Master P (mid '90s). I actually listened to Master P before he became mainstream (early 90s pre-Ice Cream Man days), No Limit was good.

Hot Boyz? They to me were a joke. Booty wannabe gangsta rap. LOL, that was like late '90s I think. Lil Wayne was actually decent then when he was with them.

[DAKODA65]

@claytoncarroll1 they're rebels i guess.

[SHOKMAN10]

ONE OF THE HOTTEST SONGS IN MUSIC PERIOD

BIG UP RICK THE RULER

[mikeb420420]

He was at Rock the bells 2010 in NYC. I was unaware of his talents prior to attending that concert. I came back home, looked up his shit, and have been hooked ever since.

[ktbaby077]

oh my god this is great

[Jubeski]

You'll see the wonders and joy life brings - what a false statement. Once you figure life out, its a endless cycle of miseries.

Classic track still...

[th3unconscious1988]

@Jubeski but he is just describing the mentality for survival.... its not a false statement

[upt123]

88 was straight! This was my cut , bring back real true HIP HOP!

[neofantomu]

fuk da radio!!!!!

[phobictwump]

bKfASSASSIN - real dope name for a whiteboy

[bKfASSASSIN]

@phobictwump current rap is shite i agree but if you think Dre is current rap your a fucking idiot. and eminems "the slim shady LP" was probably the greatest overall album of all time

slick rick isnt great to be honest his only masterpieces are childrens stories and hey young world whereas dre eminem biggie nas tupac and immortal technique have countless masterpieces

[self1der]

@bKfASSASSIN I can tell you haven't been listening to hip hop very long and don't really understand the history and the original vision of it, the artist you named would disagree with you, and you don't seem to understand that.

[MsFIRSTLADY35]

@bKfASSASSIN ROFLMAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO! UMMMMM, CHILD SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE WITH THAT EMINEM CRAP! LMAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOO. I CAN'T DO NOTHING BUT LAUGH AT THAT COMMENT! OOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEE

[MsFIRSTLADY35]

@bKfASSASSIN WHERE IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK EMINEM GOT HIS SO-CALLED SKILLS FROM? ROTFLMAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[CoolGuy95ya]

@bKfASSASSIN Slick Rick is the person who influenced old school rappers, his lines are used over and over, he's your favorite rappers favorite rapper. One of the first real rappers to enter the rap game

[BabyFacedAssassin301]

@bKfASSASSIN im 30 years old so I was actually a kid when this came out

he was one of the 1st rappers to come out wearing big chains

this entire 1st album is a classic and was pretty much influential to every rapper at that time

ask Pharrell

[foxgrp]

Hot song.

[tacodj42069]

this real good mon

[fabulousgirl112]
