It started with love and will end with love all this calling it music from the devil don’t get it twisted the devil had the most beautiful voice in heaven. The devil can come through the pulpit!

    As a 90s kid, I should go with snoop but Slick Rick all day. Slick's storytelling is the epitome of the Golden era of Rap, you can hear it, imagine it, and ride with it til the present. Even at their age now, Slick Rick will demolish Snoop. I describe Snoop nowadays as the gateway to mumble rap since he never matured and never grew up, a grandfather that still talks about the same thing when he was in his 20s.

This was when HipHop was about love and then it was about crack and now it about everything all mixed up with a little of everything.

    Snoop Dogg version was the illest!! Everybody was bumpin that through they four 10s they had in their trunk. You can't bump Slick Rick version in your car, his version is good for a house party. Most of yall saying Slick Rick version is better bc yall don't like Snoop right now. Ask that same question in 1993, 90% of yall would say Snoop version is better. Plus Snoop was doing the song to pay homage to Slick Rick
