"The moment I feared" & "Hey young world"... My personal favorites. The whole album is not only "real classic hip hop", but str8 up timeless music that knocks til this day. Facts!
Brother, there hasn't been an album like Slick's 1988 Classic since. The album itself should be studied at a university. The multiple characters all rapped by himself was unheard of. The man is in a class of his own.
It was a filler track. Nothing like "Moment I feared" That's why he said that. Like you thou. I thought the song was good. The album was a press play project for me.
Mad respect to Slick Rick from England. He still got a lil bit of an accent there but defo a true New Yorker. Come back and be the true ruler of England
Im from london and grew up loving ricks english style. before all the UK hip hop came he was all we had. he gets no love over here. pisses me off. the music press here should be showing him full respect, but they never have
UK / England is our little leagues. They don't know anything about real hip hop. They are cheap clones and not smart at all. We have no respect for British people here. Rick is much more American than British, that is why he is what he is. He embodies America and our swag.
@@cultureisking5193 thing is its obvious you dont know UK hip hop. Name me a couple of our best rappers, go on. I know you will come out with some obvious shit cos youve never realy listened lol. As for rick. Fact is his british style is part of his "swag". If you were a real hip hop fan you would not dismiss other nations artists so easily. Most of the guys you listen to would not because they are smart enough to know. if you dont respect british people, I dont care at all. makes no difference to me. It just makes you sound like a fool.
@@harrymuhammad9835 shocked by what? they were asking a man to recall details of an album he made decades ago. also look at what hes been through since then!
Ric speaking facts...I noticed people dont really like when cats keep it 100 bout their culture being THEIRS or how recent generations have completely perverted the essence of the original concepts and sciences. Maybe it was just ME but did yall peep how the host was kinda glarin at Ric when Ric was droppin those gems about one must learn a thing from the creators of that thing? Then it seems like after that they cut the show and brought Flex on which of course COULD have been a complete coincidence but it still didnt look good to me Ric is a living Legend a Hip Hop Icon and you dont ask questions? Ric's a real dude always has been matter fact thats how he got locked up...peace and blessings.
I peeped that, the whole show should have been The Ruler though...Flex was diminished by following rick. I almost fell asleep listening to flex and skipped through it.
Slick Rick the Rulers best story teller hands down no one comes close, The bomb squad (public enemy producers) Strong Island true hip hop trail blazers they did more than you know, just do the knowledge...word!
He HAD to leave The Get Fresh Crew in 86' because Rakim Dropped!, & Everything He Rocked Still Remains Scorching Hot, Not To Take Away From Slickest Ricky D.! , With The Slickest British lingo In All Of N.Y.C.!
Back in the day when I was putting my crew together, my boy Fat Dug let me here a tape of a dude he was rap'n with. He was nice, so I'm like who is this? It's his boy Ricky D aka Slick Rick. I tell him to ask him if he wants to get down with us. But he needs to do more than just story rhyme. He talked to him and he said he partnered up with another dude. A year later The Show and Ladidadi blow up. I got clowned for a while on that one. Even after blowing Rick was still a cool. If it wasn't for the bullshyt with his cousin I think he would have been even bigger in hip hop. Salute to Rick the Ruler. Thanks for hanging that L around my neck!
I was with a crew that got an offer from Doug and Slick's label. Nobody in my crew wanted to be signed but me. They wanted to do it theirselves. I was dirt poor and woulda signed for thousand or a sandwich. The others ended up doing sloppy business and we never got more than known but broke. I always wonder if I would have amounted to anything if we got signed. I tried to get signed myself and they said you ddin't make the beats, scratch or do anything but rap...The said whole crew or not interested. So I remain anonymous as Ras Kas would say...ua-cam.com/video/RiU_ysKjoyc/v-deo.html is one of our tracks from '84 and the following link is me in 2020 ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=johnny+afro+movin+numbers
It continues to amaze me how many people think hip hop started in the Bronx...without checking out what was going on in the other boroughs. I'm from Brooklyn, and "hip hop" was there also. Grandmaster Flowers (from Brooklyn) put on his hip hop show at a James Brown concert in 1969 (at Yankee Stadium)..No one ever mentions that. Flowers was there from the real early days of Bklyn Hip Hop. I've always said..to learn the truth...people should track down the real old timers..aka Kool Herc...and ask them about early Brooklyn Hip Hop.
@@sportinlife1..I didn't say Brooklyn started it. I just said in a nutshell...that hip hop wasn't only in the Bronx...And what do you mean...Flowers wasn't hip hop..what was it then..Hip hop is a culture my brother...not just music..It includes dancing, graffiti etc. So now, are you saying graffiti and certain dances started in the Bronx too? I think not. DO YOUR research my brother.
how the fuck can he not know what The Bomb Squad is? His classics are either produced by himself or... The Bomb Squad. And I'm not really sure if he doesn't care about the beats, or he's suggesting Bomb Squad beats on his album were not really theirs, but really his. He doesn't want to talk a word about it and doesn't see the point of talking about them.
I believe he split from fresh because Slick wanted a good percentage, and fresh was not interested in doing that. Slick Rick was out growing him and fresh crew.
"Cause I got perception, mutherfucker." During this whole interview, it seems like Rick doesn't want to be there. The interviewer is always so pretentious and Rick let it be known. Rick almost made him cry.

You couldn't get the audio any better for a legend like Slick Rick? So disrespectful, smh.
"The moment I feared" & "Hey young world"... My personal favorites. The whole album is not only "real classic hip hop", but str8 up timeless music that knocks til this day. Facts!
I love the Moment I Feared.. One of my favs on the album.
Brother, there hasn't been an album like Slick's 1988 Classic since. The album itself should be studied at a university. The multiple characters all rapped by himself was unheard of. The man is in a class of his own.
Shafiq Husayn the beat is so fire
Homie who is interviewing him seem star strucked. Love it.
Your favorite rappers favorite rapper
Triston my favourite rapper
He is the main face to that saying
I remember nas mimicking him on ''destroy n rebuild'' made me go back listen to rick the ruler
MF DOOM?
Indeed, Ghostface is one of my favorites and Slick is Ghosts favorite, so that seems about right.
You guys are in the presence of a GOAT. Rick deserve more respect. But thanks for this I guess
He would say these cats is peasants... One of The Generals...
Slick say we don’t remember the other tracks. We remember EVERY song on that album. They bring back memories to our whole generation.
I sampled this album on tygas first album .. “ teenage love “ i love u slick rick and I appreciate you ! Ive told u this before but yes 🙌🏿
he called Lets get crazy trash. that joint is so raw to me,
It was a filler track.
Nothing like "Moment I feared"
That's why he said that.
Like you thou. I thought the song was good. The album was a press play project for me.
SLICK RICK ART OF STORY TELLING IS THE MOST TRAGICALLY UNDERRATED ALBUM OFF ALL TIME.!!!
If I remember correctly it got 4 mics in the source magazine I used to play it everyday when it came out definitely underrated
I'ma agree with this and add that Who Rotten Em is one of the dopest story telling raps of all time
Mr.Slick Rick The Ruler, I truly love your life's work through song, Peace and blessing to you.
My favorite NY emcee
Let Slick know, the whole Album resonated with me. I still know all the lyrics from beginning to end.
Dope interview!!!
RICK THE RULER!!!

Jewelry game is extra-terrestrial

mate. what are you talking about? slick rick gets SUPER love over here within the hiphop community. slick rick still fills big venues here
@@designatedpiledriver8216 Exactly, no idea what that other guy is talking about.

@@Captain_Rhodes no one that matters cares about UK hip hop.
How does this only have 6.3k views!? This is epic

Whatever’s Clever, You Know What I Mean?
I wanted to hear the stories but that drove me crazy. I almost threw in the towel. I was a bit shocked.

Slick Rick The Ruler
Slick Rick the Rulers best story teller hands down no one comes close, The bomb squad (public enemy producers) Strong Island true hip hop trail blazers they did more than you know, just do the knowledge...word!
Some of the themes and concepts of how he laced the tracks, is like pre golden era meets golden era 79-84 year had too tell a good story
Slick rick 100% much recptect from Scotland
The flyest brother in the game!!!#facts
He HAD to leave The Get Fresh Crew in 86' because Rakim Dropped!,
& Everything He Rocked Still Remains Scorching Hot,
Not To Take Away From Slickest Ricky D.! ,
With The Slickest British lingo In All Of N.Y.C.!
Ilove slick rick from India

Hey young world
How did I miss THIS?! #mcrickyd
Flex stole the show lowkey.
23:05 Jay's estate eating off that production credit
Capital S...👍😎 Whatttttttttttttttt....!
THE RULER
Doug was getting $6,000 a show & only give Slick Rick $300.... Dam we do our own ppl wrong!!! I'm glad Slick ain't hobbling any bad feelings!!!
"What's the Bomb Squad now?" 🤣
how the fuck can he not know what The Bomb Squad is? His classics are either produced by himself or... The Bomb Squad. And I'm not really sure if he doesn't care about the beats, or he's suggesting Bomb Squad beats on his album were not really theirs, but really his.

king esseen do your homework
Yo bum rush the show lol
the annoying feedback cuts out at 22:55, almost ruined the whole interview
All hail the ling Rick the ruler!!!!
Make way for his Royal Highness you crumbs and peasants (French horns blare). Slick Rick the Ruler!!!!
I can't help but think that Nas has studied Rick's way of speaking. Nas when he is interviewed sounds like Rick.
William Walsh Mo definitely so
I got a Best Of Slick Rick Mixtape!
0:14
@45:50 the host knows Rick is taking a shot
Who else didn't need to hear the music to know what track they were talking about. #SlickRick
everyone likes to interview like "Actor in the Studio"
Who is the kewpie-doll-looking dude interviewing Rick?
Slick Rick reminds me of MF Doom... not the music but his persona
Tag me when someone gets triggered ✌
DOOM was heavily inspired by Rick if i remember right,
7 months late reply but oh well ;p
Doom sounds like Eric Sermon but with his own off beat style.
London born, New York raised
They both Capricorns ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
All good until flex come out
Slick Rick was the motherfuckin man!!!!!
whatever is clever...
salute da god!
What song did Rick refer to as album filler?
The Ruller Ricky D aka Slick Rick the👑🍾💰 Ruller
Music academy you need that feed back off lmk
So was Sally from Co op city?
A think.. Chi ali was from there
Why did they not play part of the songs if not all of the songs??? That would have added to the whole show, or interview.
That buzz tho....lol..analog

You'll find a full tracklist in the description of the video!
One of my all time Favs, but if this ninja say WHATEVER"S CLEVER on mo gain

👏
He looks like Tony yayo in the thumbnail.
Check that feedback how u gonna be red bull and not have a decent engineer yall can hire me if u want
Peace to slick rick
The Ruler
I think Rick piss off the host lol
I believe he split from fresh because Slick wanted a good percentage, and fresh was not interested in doing that. Slick Rick was out growing him and fresh crew.
Der Sound ist so mies, was ist denn da los?
Why is this audio so bad? You are interviewing a legend. Red Bull you have to do better!!! This is a travesty.
N!ce
Ps Peace to Vance Wright.
Word!*An His An His An His Partnerrr........
All that Red Bull money and you couldn't fix that buzz?
He said that shit was Garbage lol
Connect that ground wire
No disrespect...
Right.cant hear much
"Cause I got perception, mutherfucker." During this whole interview, it seems like Rick doesn't want to be there. The interviewer is always so pretentious and Rick let it be known. Rick almost made him cry.
This dude said it was like Moses before Moses was Moses! Wtf! Anyways he is still the Ruler!
Tony yayo in 30 more years 😂🔫
Yayo isn't too far behind Ricky Walters in age right now.
If Yayo looks this good in 30yrs then the man is ageless.
!
buy the music and stop cutting the music WTF
Slick did the *soul train thing* in London❓⁉️❓❓
He means *TOP OF THE POPS* and there's nothing soul train about it....
Really BAD audio.
werd rick??!
