		Most of the production is standard early Def Jam, but Rick's style on the mic is like no one else's.
		No MC had ever dared go as far on record as Rick, and the tracks in question haven't really lost much of their power to offend, or at least raise eyebrows.
		Yet this material is as much a part of Rick's legacy as his more admirable traits, and he was far from the last MC to put seemingly contradictory sides of his personality on the same record.

		Behind Bars, the second of two albums Slick Rick recorded before starting to serve his prison sentence, certainly isn't the ideal showcase for his talents – but it's damn good.
		His conversational style is so agile, his images so clear, his use of metaphor so unique, it's scary to imagine what he could have come up with if he had been able to concentrate on his work.
		Only when Slick Rick is released from prison will he be able to show the world the full extent of his talent.

		Only Slick Rick could take a chance-encounter in a pizzeria with a green-eyed virgin named Mona Lisa, and turn it into a club anthem that still bangs nearly two decades later.
		Rick possesses one of the most distinct voices in hip-hop, perhaps second only to a young Q-Tip.

		We fail to see how Slick Rick can contribute anything positive to a conversation regarding our nation's young people given the graphic and vulgar nature of his music career.
		Slick Rick's 1989 debut album, "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick," featured such provocative titles as "Treat Her Like a Prostitute." In that album, the rapster bellows out vulgar lyrics that virtually any family would consider poisonous influences for their children.
