	Slick Rick - Biography - AOL Music
		Slick Rick foreshadowed and epitomized the pimpster attitude of many rappers during the late '80s and early '90s, with gold chains, his trademark eye-patch, and recordings that were no less misogynistic -- "Treat Her Like a Prostitute," for example, became an underground hit in 1988, though it was justly criticized for its view of women.
		His 1989 album, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, was a certified-platinum classic, but before he could record a follow-up, Slick Rick was arrested for attempted murder.
		Slick Rick recorded his debut record, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, and released the album in 1988.

		Slick Rick was one of the first hip-hoppers to spit humorous mysogony in his songs, but deeply doesn't mean to offend women (at least I don't think he does).
		Slick takes his traditional storytelling formula and gives it a much darker edge, giving us a street tale about a young boy who is drawn into the wrong croud, ending up on the wrong side of the law thanks to his kleptomaniacal ways.
		Slick raps about the juvenile mind of those who are in love but are still young, but also sticks with an underlining message of the pain of breakup.

	The Great Adventures of Slick Rick - Slick Rick - Similar Albums
		Slick Rick's reputation as hip-hop's greatest storyteller hangs on his classic debut, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, one of the most influential rap records of the late '80s -- for better and worse.
		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.
		In the end, The Great Adventures is simply too good not to deserve the countless samples and homages by everyone from Snoop Dogg to Black Star.

		Slick Rick boasts that he makes hip-hop that creates memories, and it's an apt description for an album that nostalgically recalls a different age of hip-hop.
		Ricks rhymes here are enough to rival his classic debut and I am confident ill still like this album in 20 years.
		Slick never took the lyrical approach of more widely respected bands like public enemy or BDP but that should be irrelevant because if words are music....this man is the greatest musician of them all.

	Jack Feeny reviews: Slick Rick
		Rick's originality stemmed primarily from his solo approach to rapping, with him mostly delivering a whole host of verbose narratives.
		The narratives and self-referential monologues are reeled off quickly with a flat, detached style but Rick branches out by voicing the characters in the songs, cutting into the monologue and imitating a high-pitched whine for a woman (as will become clear, he far from bucks the trend for sexism and misogyny in rap).
		Still, Rick was always intended to be the star and most of the time he weaves a memorable web of sparkling wit and, indeed, slick delivery.

		Fresh’s number four RandB hit, "The Show," exploded just one year later, and MC Ricky D. — as Rick was then known — leaped to a solo contract two years later, after an acquaintance with Russell Simmons led to his signing to Def Jam Records, the biggest label in hip-hop at the time.

		Rick had already fancied himself a rabid storyteller (and a mighty good one) on Fresh's track "The Show," and Great Adventures became Slick Rick's novella.
		However, though Slick Rick's British accent was phat, he isn't nearly as hard to swallow for some American listeners as other British emcees; his accent was more subtle, and that allowed him to connect with an American audience(the audience this album was targeted to) more effectively.
		Ricky "Slick Rick" Walters was/is the UNCROWNED KING (well, since he was also known as "Rick the Ruler", maybe he WAS crowned) of rap storytelling.

		Having survived some of the most tumultuous events to touch any recording artist in history, Slick Rick’s rejuvenation is joyously evident throughout The Art of Storytelling.
		And on “Kill N*z,” Rick** draws from his own experiences by dramatizing a man’s release from prison and subsequent reversion to a violent vigilante lifestyle.

		With his beret, his eye-patch and his mock-British accent, Slick Rick was like no one else in rap.
		Not only did he have beats from the Bomb Squad (the production team behind Public Enemy’s greatest hits), but he was a master storyteller and peerless rhymer, able to bring all sorts of surreal characters to life in his songs.
		Though various scrapes with the law prevented him from fully capitalizing on his initial success, Slick Rick is still one of the most distinctive voices in the realm of hip-hop.
