When i was in elementary school they only talked about Rick, Kane, G Rap and of course Rakim. Those were the lyrical Kings of the early days.

[@EmmaBadOne]

Gotta play the full version

[@tric5122]

Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane, Digital Underground, all slapped way harder then are given credit for. Few get the reactions and discussion they deserve, loved all 3.

A "new" radio station in Central Florida in the '80s/90s was called 102Jams. For the first 24 hours, they played "Jam On It" on repeat - nothing else. Needless to say, I know all the words now.

Souls of Mischief, Dana Dane, and Poor Righteous Teachers should be on the list.

[@ForgeAheadwithMike]

This one and La Di Da Di are the mega classics...

I always have to mention that. It's not just slick Rick. It's slick Rick the ruler.

[@doggystyly]

I heard of him loveBoogie delving into these 😊

Man, the 80s/90s was wild. Homicide rate in 1980, 10.2:100k people. 91, 9.2:100k. Shit is half of that today. Everything was wild back then.

[@brianscovern68]

In the 80s I was at some these parties with this music. We focused on each other and our dance moves. That's it. Simple and fun as hell.

[@fishegg808]

Slick Rick is THE Storyteller. Ain't none better....

[@divinenyc7623]

Rick actually live these lyrics out in real life, in the 90's i still have my free Slick Rick Tee, one of the greatest story tellers of Hip Hop period!! He crushed every performance, salute Ricky D.

[@willwhite2271]

You hearing what we grew up listening to on the radio, these songs are still 🔥

[@manderson9289]

I was a dj back in the late 80's early 90's. Slick brought Everyone to the dance floor. Grandmas, aunties, whatever! People actually went to the club to dance and socialize with the ladies. People were respectful. if someone got out of line, their own homies put them in check. there might be a fight, but hey...no cameras. you could get a drink with someone who just blacked your eye and call a truce. times have changed. BUT LETS GET BACK TO DANCING AND HAVING FUN IN HIP HOP DAMMIT.

[@manderson9289]

now if you will excuse me, I have some kids on my lawn to yell at.

[@chargedlt1]

Seriously.. I’m super happy to see slick Rick! Bro please go listen to everything he has.

[@gary2kr1]

Slick Rick is cooler than the other side of the pillow. He made is own lane and nobody else could travel in it

[@smokezilla13.]

Slick Rick is a Legend . The late 80- 90s beats was the greatest Hip Hop sound of all time

Slick Rick was a master story teller with them barz!

[@JohnGuzik]

This was the most requested sample from artists to use in the history of Def Jam. This Is How We Do It was able to use it, Capleton used it in Tour as well.

[@majstc1]

The greatest hip hop story teller to ever do it!

[@revgurley]

Listen at 2:33-34. Hear that horn tune? Also used in Paul Revere by Beastie Boys at about :21 from the YT video. BB used it 2 years before this song. Not sure what it is sampled from.

[@devonjones8039]

The Great Adventures of Slick Rick will forever be one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.

[@echopryme]

"Knock em out the box, Rick!"

[@pbettselectric134]

You ant never said it better! We loved them days , What!!! Lived for the weekends.some clubs even had a ladies night on Thursday and it was packed.

[@shawnmoe1123]

Don’t let anybody tell you different about his eye 👁️ patch He was blinded in the right eye by broken glass as an infant. In 1976, at the age of 11 or 12, he and his family immigrated to the United States, settling in the Baychester area of the Bronx. But Rick was so fly with it he just went with it and the rest is history.

[@diztriq3394]

lol he been running that eye patch since the super early eighties its his thing!!! LA DI DA DI and THE SHOW BRO!!!

[@lawrencedonnelly5658]

Slick rick is British with one eye and did time in 2000s for a shooting in his hey day was loved by all U S rappers I have his song bond in my every day playlist of 570 old and new school hip hop / rap songs I listened to from 80s to today on youtube music called all that shit. I just love the intense way u hear the music I love. Peace

[@hairylegs75]

OMG you have just brought my childhood back Boogie. I was about 11 when I started listening to Slick and Doug E Fresh, they were my introduction into beatboxing hip hop and rap. Thanks for doing this Boogie. Sending love and respect ❤

[@hairylegs75]

And more like 1985 Boogie lol❤

[@TexasVet]

@imboogie, Slick Rick was blinded as an infant by some broken glass that he got into his eye. This is why he wears an eye patch.

[@jeffsmith4188]

Since you're doing old school, check "Jam on it" by newcleus and anything by Whodini

[@christopherjohnson8469]

One of my all time favorite hip hop songs. This is one of those songs that you know God was speaking through that artist. Classic!

[@1monkeyflower]

You need to check out Special Ed I Got it Made.

[@IENetworkTV]

tat's why this song is timeless its still going on when this song use to come on i love how in the end he says this aint funny so dont you dare laugh just another case about the wrong path straight and narrow or your soul gets cast. Period Yo Boogie I used this story to bring up all my kids when they say " daddy what's the story of Life how do you navigate through it? I say 8 simple words STRAIGHT AND NARROW OR YOUR SOUL GETS CAST period that's the story of life

[@coachmullen1]

Mona Lisa is another classic! For some reason that beat and hook triggers my brain into old school party mode.

[@harvarow]

Rick the RULER.

[@kingalleles]

Slick Rick is the Story Telling and Jewelry KING!!!

[@MrKydaman]

Slick Rick is so underated. His album The Art of Storytelling is great.

[@gdhors]

Such a classic album that so many don't even know about..coming outta prison and getting a whose who of guest spots from so many great rappers really showed how influential Rick was to the next generation

[@mrgmusicclass]

Oh yes, this is DAT JAM! Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh are awesome! You are correct, SlicknRick is the MASTER storyteller. Thats what ge does. And DougvE's beats are top of the line. MORE!

[@jeffsmith4188]

This , the Show and Beastie boys High plains drifter are 3 of greatest storytelling songs of all time . All pre 88

[@EWheels]

Who else can’t help but do the wop 🕺🏽💃🏽when you hear this?🙋🏾‍♂️

[@EmmaBadOne]

Slick Rick's I Shouldn't Have Done It, is an amazing song. He was one of our first great story tellers in hip hop.

[@TobyGuidry]

Slick Rick is one of the most well known narrative rappers from back in the day. His use of different voices to tell a story along with his super smooth flow was highly respected.

[@TheFISHIN14]

Those was tha dayz my brother 💯 Hip hop was super fly! The flow and storylines and the beats were off the chain🌟

[@loydb512]

60-year old, you are absolutely right about parties back then...

[@gdhors]

I got a couple good slick Rick stories..the first, for context, in elementary school my parents sent me to a private Christian school. I think it was 3rd grade when we had to lip sync a song for the class..most kids were doing Christian contemporary like Amy Grant. But my cousins who babysat me always listened to slick Rick and I loved this song with its cops and robbers theme..just imagine taking the lyrics of this song to your 3rd grade Christian teacher for her to approve..yea, my parents got a phone call, but they let me do it, I just had to omit the dope fiend and pregnant lady parts...at the time I didn't understand why dope fiend was bad,and asked my dad what a dope fiend was and he gave a typical dad answer; "someone with messed up priorities. "

[@Bighjr88]

The 80’s was so so so so much fun but also sooooooooooooooooooooooooo dangerous!

[@castorpollux5972]

The story and flow still slap. It's a classic. The music video was goofy tho, but I don't blame the artists for that. That was the record company influence

[@marcwright8395]

2:34 Montell Jordan This Is How We Do It has a line similar. 'There lived a D.J And Paul was his name He came up to Monty This is what he said "You and OG are gonna make some cash Sell a million records and we're making a dash."

[@johnmud5085]

I found Slick Rick in 1984... I'm a white dude from the Chicago burbs... This shit was banging with Doug E. Fresh back then in my white town of 6000 people with us kids!!!!!!! Love it!

[@johnmud5085]

Proves race isn't the factor

[@ryandrake3033]

Rick did all the vocals and different voices on this song. Just him!

[@Bighjr88]

From the best yr in rap history 1988!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bjs001001]

My buddy and me used to do La Di Da Di at parties back in high school. I would do the Doug E Fresh part and Jason would do Slick Rick. He was the Shit. Still is.

I was a freshman in high school when this song came out. The music was lit, the parties were legendary!!

[@duespaid5803]

1988 - To hear this song we had to stay up late and hear it played on live DJ shows - We would have to wait to hit record on the tap to hear the newest songs - IT WAS great getting it right.

[@Kronicdice23]

Most of these beats were actually sampled from music in the 60s and 70s, so they weren’t all original beats either then but they were the first time they were used in hip-hop

I would say that is good, but better to do that and then listen to Lyn "the female preacher" Collins singing Think (about it) and realize where the beat came from.

[@ldybozz]

Rick the Ruler!! W reaction!

[@TexasVet]

@imboogie, good day to you my friend! Boog, I just want to let you know that you bring a light to my day brother. I’m so glad that you are getting to experience what is lucky ones were fortunate to experience live and in living color! I’m not sure if junior high schoolers still have “Socials?” Socials took place for my generation (gen x , 1965-1980) in junior high school which was 7th - 9th grades. I want to say that we had 3-4 socials per year in junior high school. These socials were dances that were held by the particular junior high school, for the kids of that school. We would get all dressed up to the 9s and go to these socials and dance have a blast and everyone got along for the most part. And what were we dancing to??? Beastie Boys, Slick Rick, Run DMC, New Edition, LL…man it was live! You cheer me up with your enthusiasm and energy…you are on to something here with your reaction videos to the greats!! God Bless you, your family and everyone who also finds hope and enjoyment from you!!
