A tear comes to my eye when I look back at what hip hop used to be, the likes of Slick Rick were true pioneers of their time. I salute you , Slick Rick
Wow Takes me back to elementary, what a classic, true hip hop unlike nowdays that talk only about sex and all the crap. I'm glad i grew up hearing this(DOPE.) This song rocks today and everytime i hear it. If u hear this in 2012 thumbs up. God bless. To bad there is no more songs like this.
This song and BEAT is still TIGHT to this day.......I used to wear this tape out back in High School Henry Fooooooooord DETROIT BABY!!!!!........."pull yourself together and get yourself straight"............
The 30 dislikes on this must have lost their faith in Hip Hop when Pac and Biggie died and just couldn't take it no more! Come back someday, and for those that know, this is a classic on a classic album! This is back when rappers actually cared and put it on record and us the fans said, maybe there is hope! Peace to those that know and all those finding out, after I get through in the beginning talking to the dislikes, thats where you come in....

Man Slick Rick Was Before His Time, Naysayers Cop 'The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick' Album And Tell Me Otherwise, Line After Line, Concept After Concept and the most important SUBSTANCE IN HIS MUSIC, NOT SUBSTANCE ABUSE!!!!!!
@danewceo "The world is yours" by Nas was inspired by this Slick Rick joint. They both have similar positive messages, something which modern music unfortunately lacks.
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

U SHOULD read this if u are a music lover & enjoy good music i'm a rapper from detroit and i know there's tons of people that think they can flow But I'm different, if u give me a chance ill show u I would love nothing more than to have a decent following on youtube & from anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" other people will see it just a simple button press could make my dream come true & click on my name or search DREDAY368 to hear my music plz & THANK U
classic east coast shit..he neva bragged about shootin a nigga n being lock dwn.he did all dat shit...them wc studio gangstas fucked up hip hop..lieing about what they did..back in da day we thougt it was all true..now we c the bitch n u...
west coast rap is crap. NYC invented everything from hip hop to graffiti to breaking. the west coast just rides the cocks of NYC. west coast are biters and far from original. They live in the suburbs, not the concrete jungle. Bunch of wanna bees. Jokes!
@PS3xMedia i understand you man, slick rick is gonna be forgotten, dre just sampled his true shit, though dre is great, slick rick should be gettin credit in the first place
@SargentDmaths jesus christ, why the fuck did u feel the need to write that, praisin dre for taking this chorus and selling it back to people who never even heard of rick
@PS3xMedia well if people havnt heard of slick they will after they hea the dre track. thats what hiphop is u fuck tard, recyclin quotes, beats, barz etc. listen to 2001 beats like whats the difference itsa massive sample, with dre tweakin the beat. anyway, detox is the most anticipated hiphop album EVER, and i cant wait 2 hea it, obviously wont be as good as 2001, but better than most hiphop music whats bin comin out over the years, thats why i felt the need to write that. DETOX
@PS3xMedia yeah, ikno what u mean, but theres countless samples of old hiphop tracks what have been used over the years and people dont even kno they are samples, they just think its something new, which is what hiphop is all about, making something old, new again...giving it life again, they will kno its originally by slick because people leave comments on youtube vids saying shit like 'dre sampled this from....' end of the day, dre sampling this track made me come back and listen to it again.
