i just cant believe no one on here except hi definition recognises slick rick

all this never having to defend or justify anything you say or do doesnt work on the internet either.

Expected more of a shout for Mobb Deep aswell. Used to have them on repeat and couldn't stop listening when I first heard this. Mobb Deep Raekwon and Nas

They're still trying to deport him back I think, might be wrong. Spent a good while in jail for attempted murder.

Great adventures is the finest of it's kind, and at the time it was recognized for it. Doesn't fit in with what a lot of people are looking for nowadays and people see stuff like indian girl and call it corny and a joke but he is honestly incredible at what he does.


Heavy beats and raps on this. Two of my favourites

Yeah just checked, Pardoned in 2008.

"Even if I get deported I own America"

I'm quite sure he was pardoned for the deportation thing.

Edit: my friend who lives in New York put up this Facebook status yesterday:

Well yeah, Slick Rick's a hip hop legend, that's beyond dispute. Everyone's favourite rapper has done a song directly imitating his style already.

Just because someone hasn't mentioned his name, doesn't mean they're not fans or that they don't recognise him as a legend within hiphop. Loads of legends or people haven't been mentioned.. Ice cube for starters, eazy e.. I'm assuming everyone here listens to various artists, so no one can list every artist they're slightly interested in.
On the immortal technique and canibus thing.. I am aware of most if not all their work. I used to be big fans of both until it started grating on me.
Jayz hasn't been mentioned enough as far as I'm concerned, yeah ok, his last 3 albums have been a bit poor, but every single album up until the black album has been a classic.
Dre ain't getting enough comments too, a true pioneer of hiphop and production.

Agreed.
