Ricky Walters (born January 14, 1965), better known by stage names Slick Rick, MC Ricky D and Rick the Ruler, is a Grammy-nominated British-American rapper.

In 1990, Slick Rick shot a bystander and his cousin whom he had hired as a bodyguard and who later admitted to having Walters shot outside a club. Slick Rick was indicted on two counts of attempted murder and pled guilty to all charges which also included, assault, use of a firearm, and criminal possession of a weapon. Russell Simmons, head of Def Jam records, bailed him out and Rick quickly recorded The Ruler's Back before spending five years in prison, two for the second degree attempted murder charges he received for that shooting, and three while hassling with Immigrations Services over his residency in the US. In the documentary film, The Show, Russell Simmons interviews Rick while he was a prisoner on Rikers Island.

  • I'm 15 and I like turtles

  • man I can listen to this song all day

  • Love this song

  • Unfortunately, this type of music will not be made by anyone in the industry today. Music, that preaches consciousness, empowerment, or inspires you to rise above will not be heard from any of today's rap artist. They would rather rap about money and ballin' and sadly, the youth of today are captivated by that negativity. What's worse, they try to imitate that lifestyle. Evidently, not enough people took the message and everything that we were cautioned not to do, has happened.

  • @Wutwut1n1 thx you finally some understands wat real music is

  • Slick Rick the ruler

  • This song always beings tears to my eyes. Timeless music

  • "You see you're actin like this urge is demandin

    C'mon, wake up... have some understandin

    Society's a weak excuse for a man"

    This song is so relevant, it's timeless.
