Slick Rick exemplifies what hip hop truly is in one of it's elements. One of the greatest MCs to ever step in the game and pave the way. Just listen to that smooth mellow beat and the narrative lyrics. I could listen to this a million times and never get tired of it. Hell the whole Behind Bars LP, which is an instant classic in my eyes.
@youandyourmusic i agree. but this statement is probably what our forefathers said about rock and roll, and theirs about jazz.. etc etc.. know what i mean? ;)
@narcissus79 that's true but we generation x and y appreciate good music regardless of what era it comes from. Today music is just horrible and everyone who knows what good music is can agree on that. I can't believe so many young people are really into this Lil Wayne, Drake, Soulja Boy, T-Pain, all these phony characters; Madonna was something but wtf is Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, Just Bieber, Ke$ha, lol music went down the drain.
@MobHeataEnt there are still good artists out there writing original stuff that is still good.. listen to the Presets.. something different, not necessarily hip hop, but a great orig band :) hope you enjoy
@svenniking definately.. i found this on everything but the girl's back to mine compilation.. never found it on an album.. trying to get it on limewire right now ;)
1980-1990's. those were the years in hip hop. now i dont even know. other then underground hip hop today there is nothing for us hi hop cats to be proud of.
yo i've been looking for this song i use to play this joint in my range rover through new york that was the best time for hip hop in newyork it felt so good damn thanks bro
haha oh good, glad i asked before i searched in that case!! im trying not to pollute myself with anything modern these days haha. i gave up on new music in roughly 1998!
hahah lots of mindless garbage out now , lil wayne , soulja boy , da shop boys , i drive in silence if my mp3 player dies because i cant stand the radio
@1234567aka I listen to the radio very seldom, I listening to the more softer stations; although even those get a bit irate because they play new school mainstream R&B but overall is good. Also Listen to the Jazz channel, but like I said; most of the time I listen to AM, the news. Its good to know whats going on in the world.
personal fav. Thanks from México shitty..

Behind Bars was such a sick album. Right on par with Great Adventures Of..
I used to bang the shit out of this on my Walkman back in 1994 on the bus to high school.
Great music never dies!

hip hop reached its peak! in the 90s and faded ever since slowly (4 Me)
And as long as we still blaze out the classics its alive in us!
Like mozart is still relevant!
