Slick Rick is a fascinating outlier in rap history isn't he?
Obviously nobody ever sounded quite like him then or since. (I presume Snoop was influenced by him, hence "Lodi Dodi".)
Also a great what could have been story, perhaps? I don't know how far he fell from grace when he got nicked.
slick rick preempts gucci to an extent.
not that i like gucci.
He was almost the rap equivalent of the British heel in pro wrestling. Playing up his aristocratic disdain.
If you don't like slick rick it means you once wanked off a goat for a dare.
Hey this is astute and true.
Both the voice and the cartoon persona.
He's been influential on anyone who has that kind of sing song intonation.
Catalog, I think it's fair to say, has the worst taste of anyone who has ever entered these hallowed halls.
