WOW! I remember listening to this when i was in basic training at FT Benning GA in 1989. 2ND RANGER BN 89-93 5TH SPECIAL FORCES 93-02 SFOD -D 02-08 MSG RET.
jamaicanpolice: I know the words to this song and at the very least, I can read. "Hey Young Girl" is a saying that we used to have back in the day, boosting off the the title and hook of this track.
I dedicate this song to my first born daughter Monique. "Happy Birthday Beloved!" As a teenage mom this was my motivation song from Slick Rick the Ruler. Hip Hop has its place and back in the day it was utilize as a tool to educate, motivate and produce positivity in the people. Bring back EDUtainment please!!!
LaMarshaM: This track didn't drop 'til late 1988/early 1989. In the mid-80's, Slick was stll hangin' out with Doug E. Fresh, dropping classics like "La-di, Da-di" and "The Show".
I am a 17 years old and i love this song!!! This is REAL HIP HOP! Something that HAS A MESSAGE! SOMETHING THAT SPEAKS THE TRUTH TO MY GENERATION...Soulja Boy and Lil wayne and the T pain is fine but sometimes u need to listen to this...this influential hip hop
I've always found it to be so funny how much Slick Rick favored Nas, facially. Take out the eye patch and the gold teeth and he could pass for Nas' dad, hahahaha. One love to the both of them!
His style was always one of a kind; nobody in the entire business put it down like Slick Rick did. I love those who are, at times, inspired by others but don't lose themselves in others' hypes, and in contrast, make their own image - an image that can only be associated to them and nobody else. Many can bite others' image, but only a few can have the guts to actually step up to the plate and construct a style of their very own from scratch.
You can't be a fan of Slick without liking this track; it's absolutely impossible. My most, most, most favorite Slick Rick joint of ALL time. All my heart & soul is captivated by this song - the best song of his EVER! The passionate storyteller is, once again, at his task: telling everyday stories with a bit of a humorous twist - Rick's incomparable style. One artist who always incorporated life-changing messages in his tracks, as opposed to being a selfish rat like some of these other acts.
damn theres symbolizm all over this shyt dman

This was back in the mid 80's and to see young people still feel like Hip Hop back then speaks to the generation today is great.
