EPIC STORYTELLING!!! Slick Rick - Childrens Story (REACTION)

[@beautifulidiot4323]

No one touches Slick Rick on story telling. He's prob my favorite rapper of all time.

[@matoscu]

💯💯

[@barryg.5224]

Word. That entire album was fucking dope, from front to back. This, Da Art of Storytelling (Part 2) & Sitting In My Car are some of my favorite hip hop songs of all-time.

[@theoneaboveall6768]

Biggie better wayyyyy better

[@hauntinghaze5161]

Nas, Biggie, Eminem do

[@erikbuehler7336]

Rick was well before any of those , this album hit when I was 10 def got me into hip hop

[@jend927]

Facts! The storytelling aspect is missing today, for the most part 😔

[@ihopetheyrememberyoukevin2109]

King von was a story teller

[@adogbewise6561]

One of the 7 Kings of the Golden Age. Rakim, KRS1, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, LL cool J, Too Short. Now Nas had his own legendary flow like Rakim had, Nas had KRS 1's Knowledge of African History, and Political perspective. Just a whole lot of knowledge from him, Kool G Raps lyrical rhyming ability, Big Daddy Kane's metaphoric word play, Slick Rick's storytelling, LL Cool J's charm with the ladies, and Too Short pimping swagger on the track. That's why Nas is the best.

[@lekaoforty.726]

Can't forget, Run DMC .

[@jjsdad4952]

“Mona Lisa”...dope Slick Rick track.

[@graylonarnwine3261]

That dont know fam that beat was serious🍺🍺🍺🍺

Hey Young World

[@lonnielongino798]

Check out "The Show" with Slick Rick & Doug E Fresh

[@shannonferguson5095]

Too many leave Slick Rick out of their top 10. The greatest story teller in hip hop history. One of the most original flows of all time. Unmistakable voice.

[@billbaader193]

Slick Rick"I shouldn't have done it"! Excellent

[@JohnGuzik]

The actual video for this brings the song to a whole other level.

[@mielvanvelzen5967]

Is there another one then the mtv censorship era?

[@dablaqueguy]

YEP!! One of my favs. I was 15? 16? when this came out? Still remember every word. Rap was just so much more intellectual back then.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

Another good song that tells a story is "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" by Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth.

[@rustysmittyful]

Nba Street volume 2!!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Slick Rick had few people on his level lyrically and flow wise. Now your in the Golden AGE of Hip Hop again young Man. Kudos to you Sir @KingAhmad Keep researching all the great one's.

[@DustyFingersRC]

I miss that story tellin' too. I grew up on this and good to see someone your age enjoying these classics.

[@MrThemexacutioner]

Hip-Hop has had many great storytellers. Slick Rick is one of the greats but there were many.

[@Vice_Spiel]

My mom used to play this when i was a kid, honestly never seen the lyrics until this

[@fletcheramos4801]

The album this song is on is titled “The Art of Storytelling” 👍🏾

[@redpillras3456]

It’s from “The great Adventures Of Slick Rick” album

[@fletcheramos4801]

@@redpillras3456 thanks for the correction. I literally played that cassette until it popped, then i fixed it with a small piece of scotch tape. It worked but it would skip on the second verse of “the moment I feared” 😂

[@bna441]

La di da di, is another slick Rick song. Classic. Probably most sampled song ever!

[@jasoncoburn8166]

slick rick.... teenage love !

[@ericdennis3899]

Your Absolutely Right Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh Were Infamous For Their Shows And Slick's Storytelling They Were A Duo They Have Mad Live Recordings Of Their Songs And Shows

[@Ray1969.]

This is top 3 for album of the decade from the 1980’s. Slick Rick is one of the most creative, innovative and best story tellers of all time. Slick Rick the Ruler!!!

[@eastcoastmello5327]

My first rap I rehearsed word for word from beginning to end and been Hip Hop ever since💯 keep doing that homework 🔥🦾💯 I like what you doing

[@00wrongun]

Slick Rick a gift from the UK 🏅

[@Pixelina75]

Agreed, I love music with a story/message. Love seeing you react to how deep songs can be and how it resonates with you 🤘🏽

[@magich8ball]

La di da di, The Show, & Hey Young World. Those 3 especially stand out.

[@stevekallio6783]

Nice reaction bro, I grew up in the 80's and loved metal and hip-hop, and you're right, Slick Rick was a great story teller. I'm gonna suggest another great story telling hip-hop song just in case you haven't reacted to it, and that song is Cinderfella by Dana Dane, it's fantastic..

[@danielbalboni6804]

Dana Dane and Slick Rick were part of the Kangol Crew. Both were really great story tellers.

[@fettywapsmissingeye]

Love that track. Great beat too

[@reggiegimmix9128]

90's ...Hip Hops Golden generation... great to see some younger folks checkin out this stuff...theres some great artists out there to delve into.

[@dablaqueguy]

80's, but yeah, agreed!

[@reggiegimmix9128]

@@dablaqueguy 88...yes ..I stand corrected sir 😉

[@uberbeats1]

"Hey young world" is dope And the track he did with OutKast called "the art of story telling" is Xtra dope

[@Urbanmu]

Your reaction🔥 You gave respect to the 🐐

[@chriswick7987]

“Knock em out the box Rick” has been sampled forever, as it should be

[@icebergo6]

Don't feel bad, NOBODY tells stories like Slick Rick. Even back in the day people reacted like you. His ability to paint a picture, straight forward and clear is unmatched. Only Nas has done something similar but Nas does it poetic and artistically.

[@zeller3228]

so great that you check out the oldies.

[@adogbewise6561]

I think the 90's is when they took what they've learned from the first two era's of kings, and made the best music. Like Nas, Biggie, Snoop, Dre, N.W.A, Ice t, Ice Cube, Wutang, EPMD, RedMan, Geto Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, M.O.P, Cypess Hill, D.I.T.C, Jay Z, UGK, Hot Boys...ect..... Every artist was unique and lyrically advanced.

[@greghobbs754]

Agreed about the storytelling. I'm an 80s 90s kid and dig a lot of new rappers, but you're right, art of storytelling man. We need some new storytelling raps

[@joncreamer6372]

Lodi Dodi...Slick Rick..I love this record...old school for real. Love the vids!

[@krisak7395]

I’ve been enjoying your videos especially the ones going back to the 80’s. You should check out some of the documentaries like Rubble Kings- how hip hop started in the late 70’s, how it grew out of nyc gang culture. It’s pretty interesting.

[@echopryme]

The ORIGINAL ridiculous skills rhyme!!! I spent MONTHS learning this shit as a punk rock skater kid! I've covered it in every punk band I've ever been in since. 😎

[@daft4343]

The days...Highschool..the pool halls... good times!! 😁😃

[@michaelcoffey1991]

An from a "old head" to a "Young man" Hit up all you can find on Slick Rick, Rakim, Public Enemy, Big Daddy Kane, KRS 1, early to mid L.L Cool J, Kool Mo Dee, Wu-Tang, Outkast, N.W.A, Doug E Fresh, that should last you a good year. Again much

[@rsuriyop]

_Completely_ original.. Who else does story rap like this? Or even _at all_ ?

[@MrJmobes]

Rick the Ruler. He's the king of storytelling in rap.

[@Shagyamum]

Certified hood classic

[@rjayone1]

No one can take the belt which the hiphop world calls 'The Art of Story Telling' away from Slick Rick (However, Eric B & Rakim are equally matched). I agree, he's entire catalog is as if he's painting pictures for the blind. Glad you dig it, please do tell a friend. Cheers! Check out Mona Lisa, Indian Girl, ...like I said bro the whole catalog is dope. Even his features with Outkast & Erick Sermon

[@dinos6231]

Another's good Slick Rick Track is hey young world excellent positive message for the Youth

[@mikebrown9051]

No. 1 storyteller of all-time... Yes even over my favorite Biggie. This album great stories like "Davey Crockett,mona lisa,moment I feared(my fav after mona lisa) they were both very slick. Many more on this album. Jay-Z gotta song on the "bluprint" album called "The Rulers back" Slick Rick is where he got it from... The original song is on this album

[@macedindu829]

He's the best story teller. I recommend: "Who Rotten 'Em"

I agree Rappers don't tell stories or paint pictures with words. When he sez Dave the dope fiend shooting dope, who don't know the meaning of water nor soap. Man what a picture can see Dave on the ground looking up and just about to shoot, plus he STINKS! Wonderful.

[@KarenGrady-s3d]

I remember the song he did with Doug E Fresh, the show I was only a teenager myself then and getting into nwa and getto boys great time.

[@dane-yahawashiismyjudge7635]

SLICK RICK - ( THE MOMENT I FEARED)💉dope!

[@AgentLemmon]

If you like story telling tracks, react to Scarface. tracks: A minute to pray and a second to die, seen a man die, mind playing tricks on me (Geto boys) or now i feel ya. He probably up there with Slick Rick but way more hard, also very underrated (or underappreciated)

[@derrickpowell2563]

Slick Rick is the GOAT of storytelling!!! Not even close. You should do Dana Dane Nightmares if you want more storytelling

[@fhat6924]

There is a video to this, but check out Hey Young World by Slick Rick.

Trap Tarell is one of the most underrated storytellers alive! Please try and check him out on your free time bro

[@ghostrt1608]

Play La-dee Da-dee .. that's another Slick Rick classic

[@adogbewise6561]

The first set of Kings I think is Grand Masta Cass, Kool Moe Dee, Curtis Blow, Melly Mel, Scoolly D, Run D MC, Public Enemy. That's my first 7. I like 7 better then 5, because 7 is God's number. They influenced what came after. LL Cool J could have been with the first 7, But I put him in the 7 kings of the golden era and Public Enemy reigned during the Golden era, but they was so influentially first in so many categories so I put them with the first set of kings.
