Slick Rick - Hey Young World (HD)

[pleasestopthewar]

This song hit me in the heart

[satg108]

@breezwonder tru. i mean to say, you dont have to be black to be hip hop, like you dont have to be chinese to work the spirit of karate. but tru, you gotta respect the roots in because thats where the life of it comes from. but i also respect anyone who can work the rhymes no matter what their race because its the spirit of hip hop that matters. if you just imitating it with no spirit (no matter what color your skin is) your a disservice to the community-mi'se well be a parrot

*peace

[breezwonder]

@satg108 Wow! well said. I never looked at it like that.

[adrienmuzic]

Memories!

[KUSUKOX3]

I WISH I COME GO BACK GOOD OLD TIME...

[spmexy]

Reminds me of good times.

[breezwonder]

I seriously sometimes wish I were Black. I wanna be down with Hip Hop so bad. And Black people just have the best culture by far. Hip Hop, dance,dress and style.

[annewuwu]

@breezwonder lol just because you're not black doesn't mean you can't be down with hiphop, or have good style. make a style of your own reflecting black culture, but don't wish you were someone else just for their style. furreal.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

a real legend of rap music.

[jERkGiRLSS]

how could you possibly dislike this song??

#SLICKRICK <3

[LexRockzz]

only 20, but i love Slick Rick & all the artist out during this time!

[okkii69]

This song brings memories memories of 6th grade elementary school. Slick Rick was one of the most talented creative rappers of all times.

[swacfan100]

We had our problems back n our day no doubt,but its double now.Kids 2day need to know that most times being cool is what u dont do,they see negativity everywhere & few positives.1 thing that made our time so special was the fact that we had more variety in music,FRESH PRINCE & JAZZY J,EPMD,PUBLIC ENEMY,BDP,NWA,SALT& PEPA,LATIFAH,MC LYTE on & on.Yes time goes on & i know the new acts thats out & (some) are good,no diss but these were the best days in hip hop:)

[9rObErToG4]

ONE THING I HATE IS WHEN PPL SAY STUFF NOW SUCKS AND THEN THEY PROBABLY GO AND LISTEN TO NEW SHIT....OF COURSE WHO DOESNT LIKE RAP FROM THE 80'S AND 90'S I MYSELF AM AN AVID FAN OF THAT AGE OF RAP BUT TIME MOVES ON...N I DO LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC BUT THERE IS PLENTY OF NEW ARTISTS AND SONGS THAT ARE GOOD...JUS BECAUSE ITS NOT PLAYED ON THE RADIO DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT THERE...DO UR RESEARCH

[nicobloffer]

lmao @1:50

[HOneyyBrOwnx3]

Men don't steal. Hey, most men don't borrow.

No truer words have been spoken.

[RenMartin2210]

This song always puts a smile on my face. I wish we had more rappers like Slick Rick.

[hockey91ninjawarrior]

There's still great rap being made everyday eh hrm rhymesayers, def jux, strange famous.

[vMiracleBoy]

how could rap go from this to what it is now? this shits dope. Anything thats released now sucks.

[satg108]

@vMiracleBoy how? its simple. the industry happened, and they put their mouth where the money was

[stephengerondakis]

Fashawn sampled this for his song "Hey Young World". You should check it out, its good.

[210smoker]

210

[blanks138]

Would it be too far off to say ricks the original cudi? I know theyre on two different talent levels but think about it... deeply

[TheBBoyCompany]

Hey They Don't Admire You.

Their Time's Limited...

[TheBBoyCompany]

Little Kids Don't Follow These Dopes!

[Clutch843]

This that classic rap shit! I still love this shit.

[tammysoulful]

This song brings me so much joy. Instantly lifts my spirits. Always has. Pure hip-hop. So beautiful huh? Smh...

[popocraft]

sick rick...

[GRIMSREVENGE253]

Be your own person and break the STEROTYPE and understand that as a people we have been set up to fail but through inner strenth we can overcome and achieve.

Cause RIGHTEOUS LAWS are overdue and this is the message that ya nigga GRIM drew and it's true.....GRIM.

[Snortthesweetener]

Need this kind of positive message in hip-hop today. Ressurect the Golden Age.

[wallyworld776]

@Snortthesweetener Agreed as a teacher, I see Slick Rick was ahead of his time as well. "It's cool to look bummy and be a dumb dummy and disrespect your mummy." Like I said, being a teacher, I see this crap everyday. If kids only knew

[JimmyJones]

@Snortthesweetener lol In that case it wouldn't be as easy to pick up some Kush and a bitch to fuck raw for the night. There's still positive raps out there and a large previous collection and they have not proven to be successful, not even for Will Smith.

[FORANWFS]

@JimmyJones yeah,, but wat here is unsuccessful,and heres a positive sounding rap, so?

[longbeach225]

Damn I miss this song.. I use to listen to this during elementary school years. This is what we call hip hip, rap that made sense.

[RedxLilxSleepy]

wtf SNOOP DOGS VERSION IS WAYY BETTER 

/watch?v=dGx1L5wKpTg

[B0ssho99]

cant believe he is 46! Damn where has the time gone!!!

[radrye1]

This is one of my all time favorite rap songs from the 80s...Good lyrics with a Message and nice beat.. Society is a weak excuse for a man...woooh...thats what the fuk I am talking about!!!!...MESSAGE... They don't make rap like this no more...NAS is the only rapper now ,that can sell a million records and rap some positive shiz.. WE need more positive rap..Stop this uncivilized, prehistoric non thought provoking infantile, mind numbing rap garbage out now....

[StateofMindJscj]

@radrye1 Dont forget andre 3000, even tho he aint doing much

[kenkilla123]

this song hits hard at home its sad stupid Kids Dont Know what real hip-hop is most of them dont even know where hip-hop is created

[Szczotkov]

This song is so pure,about dreams and fervor of yet uncorrupted youth.

It's beautiful.

[maria2649]

amazing 

[greenguy1616]

lol

[lmarr07]

Nas got respect for the O.G.

[koobysnap]

Its amazing how the world of hip hop has turned a complete 180 from slick and public enemy's good work. Gucci encourages theft and drug dealling... whack!

[747REDFELLA1]

@koobysnap Bro hate to wake you up but public enemy and slick rick were also coons and I will back up my claim..I'm not being neg towards you but you need to know the truth..Holla at me..

[boolshmool]

early 90'Z girlZ...!

[Jackstar769]

@boolshmool Try mid 80's girlz buddy. This wasnt in no 90's.

[geronjenkins18]

@Jackstar769 I think this was late 80's going into 1990 cause The Adventures of Slick Rick came out in 1989 I think

[transformersloverjon]

an amazing message

[MrKevin619ism]

1988. This song is a classic ! Slick Rick is a bonafide O. G.

[zuluqueenchele]

Slick Rick was defiantly ahead of his time when he made this song!!! This is todays anthem for the youth around the world

[Ebonyqueenstandup]

Don't admire people cause they don't admire you

[SwaggerLikeUz]

Probably the first emcee' that made Notice Hiphop other "RunDMC', and "LL Cool J', because the Lyrics & his Timeless! Children Story, Hey Young, Lotto Dotty for example are Great Songs that are other Artist try to remake like Snoop did "Doggy Style'. Rappers Delight hell NO!! Strickly Furious 5' and Grand Master Flash, Rakim, Slick RICK', Marley Marl, Juice Crew, Too Short, NWA, BDP', Native Tongue, Pete & CL'. Real Hiphop' thanks to the Pioneers like African Bambatta, Kool Herc . - Swagg'

[shanenolan85]

The one thing I just absolutely love about that album, "The Adventures of Slick Rick", is that it still holds up!!! I'm 25 and heard it for the first time last year from my older brother and just loved it!!! Some albums don't hold up years down the road, but this definately does!!! I love Slick Rick & the album! Many artists focus on the present instead of the future.....

[shukuratulilah]

@shanenolan85 Real talk heard it for the first time in 08, timeless

[shanenolan85]

@shukuratulilah Thanks for the posting....other dope artists I like are: Special Ed (I Got It Made & The Mission -- He was only 16!!!), The D.O.C (Its Getting Funky & Mind Blowin - Album Version), Big Daddy Kane (Ain't No Half Steppin), EPMD (You Gots to Chill), and Ice-T's (You Played Yourself)...are just a few to name. Hip Hop 4 Life!!!!!!! I thank the Cool Kids for getting me into the Ol' School Hip Hop! Take Care bro.

[RedxLilxSleepy]

@shanenolan85 snoop dogg copyed this song watch

/watch?v=dGx1L5wKpTg

[LLJtbone]

I definitely miss the now "old school" hip hop. I heard NAS doing this song but IMO, he can't touch this.

[shenaorlando]

classic 

[koffybrown1]

Hey Young World......This message is for you.

[11KC3]

who woodnt like positive hip hop???? mustve been backwoods-u-got-a-pretty-mouth­-boy-east-bum-fuck rednecks who dislike this

[alfredtw3]

The seven people who disliked this are LAME. You all FAIL at LIFE....

[jaie25]

I graduated from Drew High School (Miss) '90, and this was the jam. Bro's had sparkomatic radios bumpin.

[xiloves]

This what I am talking about.

[Mrheadcrak]

The reason this song is so dope is because the 80s were some serious shit. nyc is a joke now compared to slicks day.graffiti ruled, times square, les.... all gone. now its nothing but image. kanye, hahah what a bitch. all you little punks talking shit about little wayne like he wouldnt rip you a new asshole. listen to little waynes "georgia bush" if you want a reason to be proud of your toy little punk generation.

[argentino39]

@Mrheadcrak  You can't just hate my whole generation, even tho i kinda agree with what you're saying.

[ladklap]

Best Song all time!

[mikeripperA]

thx for uploadin.....i think this just changed my life around......

[Kidlanez18]

positive hip hop where they play that at..dope song..i like that Nas brought back this classic and put his twist on it

[blizzyXL]

BMVUndergroundHipHop is the shit.

[blizzyXL]

@blizzyXL BVM*

[shesodior]

mUCH RESPECT TO THE RULER FOR THIS

SO DIOR SO LOVES SLICK RICK

[Ricetrife]

cool eyelap

[djtonyp5]

banging ass beat

[jdon725]

why does a classic positive track like this only have 21,000 views but stupid shit like drake n lilwayne have over a mill

[srana84]

Scarface might be one of the realist rappers of our generation. No raps beefs, no glitz and glamour, just straight up real life 100%

[poetryselite]

"And it's cool to look bummy/ and be dumb dummy and disrespect ya mummy". Very unorthodox choice of words, but as real today as they were in the mid 80's. "Men don't steal and most don't borrow/ and if you smoke crack, ya kids a smoke crack tomorrow". I mean the Ruler just delivered the illest and most profound messages... too bad the only priorities that appeal to my generation are "Wiawi", "Turn My Swag On", & "Lollipop". Somethins gotta change or there won't be a future generation to inspire.

[theuniquesam]

Jay-z is a bitch

[bmoregrl88]

@theuniquesam I dont agree with you but, it's unfortunate that Jay-Z is the realist rapper that my generation has left after the lil waynes and soulja boys...

[grantjohn33]

and jay-z has wayyyyy more money than u

[DaStrongman1]

@grantjohn33 who gives a fuck

[grantjohn33]

lol your broke ass does...

[Undergroundhiphoop]

@grantjohn33 I don't give a shit about how much money your sitting on, much money and a fucked up so called gentlemen from the mainstream news and shit, is total bull, a gentlemen by my eyes like "real recognize real" and sitting on money is reality dude, that is sucess, jay z is none in my eyes anymore but a dude that used to have it.

[grantjohn33]

@Undergroundhiphoop ok thank you for replying to this comment a year later. dude idk what the hell you are even talking about. geez you shoulda left this one alone. Jay-Z is a beast by the way

[Undergroundhiphoop]

@grantjohn33  Didn't know it was a year later and by the way old Jay is good, not todays :)

[grantjohn33]

@Undergroundhiphoop todays jay is good tho. He plays a big role in hip hop today

[Undergroundhiphoop]

@grantjohn33 Everybody got their own opinion and I respect it, but not allways agreeing :)

[jack4ku]

u might wanna put gucci mane not 50..

[bmoregrl88]

@jack4ku i agree..50 shouldn't be included he was/ and still is really good..

Gucci Mane is a Joke.

[alar1]

lol lil wayne 50 & soulja

[SIAY3R1]

he is sayin a message to some kids from the projects and ghettos

[DaStrongman1]

@shibanqkut gyeah i no wat u sayin

[pdheartbreak]
