Best Slick Rick Songs

Richard "Slick Rick" Walters is a London-born rapper who got his start in Doug E. Fresh's Get Fresh Crew in the mid-'80s, most notably on the 1985 single "The Show" (backed with "La-Di-Da-Di"). The following year, Rick signed with Def Jam Records and began work on his solo debut, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick. His ability to weave a compelling narrative into a rap song, a talent that earned him the reputation as the genre's greatest storyteller, is apparent on the album's second single, "Children's Story." The hip-hop nursery rhyme tells the tale of a young boy who is drawn into a life of crime and is ultimately gunned down by the police. The song peaked at #5 on the R&B chart and #2 on the Rap chart.

The beat is dope, the lyrics are great and of course the storytelling by Slick it's just sick a song.

One of the songs that introduced me to rap. Also better than Montell Jordan's "This is How We Do It".

One of the best rap songs of all time / the beat it's just priceless.

His best Freestyle song of all time Slick Rick genius!

Children's Story is the most overrated Rap song I've listened to the moment, put this song number #1 it's one of those songs that actually are highly better than Children's Story and almost no one notice.

I Don't know why this song is out of the Top 3, I think is even a much better and complex song than The Show and Children's Story, ouhh... And that one ... Children's Story is just one of the most boring Slick Rick's songs I've ever heard in my life. I don't even know why is tooked as the best song by him!

Super combo - of happines and a excellent piano chording the area.

Was hard to find this song on google play, but it worth any second of searching.

I love this song.
