[@nawats2520]

Just want to clarify something when he said sister he meant a black woman

[@JessicaV-cj7sr]

I wanna say Slick Rick is more of an 80s rapper than 90's and this song is from mid to late 80's and not 90's.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

That's good; otherwise you would have just said something you didn't want to say.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Also, I totally agree with you. By the time the 90's came around, Slick Rick wasn't nearly as prominent anymore.

[@acidicfuture2550]

Let’s be honest here the 90’s were an echo of the 80’s.

[@jasondawson92]

Yea but this is an 80s bop

[@1c0nic_player]

@@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff yeah but the art of storytelling (1999) is still a classic imo

[@itshoneychilee]

Oh my gosh this is an oldie! I remember listening to this on the radio all the time when I was a kid memorizing all the lyrics.

[@crystanick2697]

Same. I was 5 when it came out and my cousins listened to it all the time.

[@a.t.9654]

I listened to it on the gta sa radio

[@57kwest]

Where I'm from (NY) it's a mortal sin to not know this and most of his songs WORD FOR WORD! 😂

[@wakeupstopsleeping6300]

Facts! NY native

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

💯

[@darrellboone9274]

Only for old school fans(wtf do Kids know about him?!🤬)

[@matoscu]

Facts

[@ContentInflux]

@@darrellboone9274 I’m a kid and know about him 💀

[@djprideone1]

slick rick has had so much of an impact to hip hop that ..hes Snoop dogs influence to the reason why hes a rapper'

[@darrellboone9274]

He and Kane

[@theoneandonlykyle9800]

Jay-Z too

[@xavvi]

I know this is an older reaction but I just had to comment on how tragic this song is, but no one seems to notice because the video is so goofy. "He was only seventeen, in a mad man's dream/ The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream" Shit haunts me. It happens every day.

[@KCohere33]

X I think the goofiness is to point out the fact that he is supposedly telling a children’s story to kids. But the contrast is the story is tragic. I think it’s kind of brilliant in that way.

[@klvrkhi2294]

@@KCohere33 Yeah

[@djprideone1]

also if you hear the track again .. you can hear an over dub in certain parts where he adds different words to the lyrics ...

[@marklouis1890]

I heard that as well

[@theredrobo94]

React to: Black Sheep 'The Choice Is Yours' One of the greatest Hip Hop songs of all time :)

[@bf4ever472]

One of my favorite songs !!

[@chasekobeck6496]

One of the best flows that's ever been

[@finnmarr-heenan2397]

Knock em out the box Rick, knock knock knock en out

[@massivegamer5200]

I really liked the song and music video also it is always interesting going through old hip hop songs or just music in general great reaction as always guys keep up the awesome work

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

With this song its important not to get wrapped up in the goof music video the song is s very surious story. Also this was 1988

[@kingart10]

Another legendary lyricist is a rapper named "Common" with a song called "I used to love H.E.R." great story with a twist! Don't y'all ruin the story for them!

[@Monique_1908]

I this reminds me of my college days back when I was at Grambling State!! 💕💚💕

[@305divachic]

OMG, wow, this is DEFINITELY an oldie BUT GOODIE😁❤You guys are HILARIOUS, *Skylar doesn't know what a Slick Rick is* 🤷‍♀️Soo funny🤣🤣This was a hit in the late 80's very early 90's ishhh maybe, I was a baby soo lol, I vaguely remember but appreciated it much more as I got older. In '99 Slick Rick came out with an album called *The Art of Story Telling* which has a *DOPE* song on it called *STREET TALKIN* featuring one of my FAVORITE rap duo's/groups of all time OUTCAST, y'all should give it a listen, the music vid is pretty nice 2😁👍🏽Slick Rick's style and flow like many rappers back then, had a MESSAGE or told a story...there was MEANING behind and IN all the rhyme, which, unfortunately is lacking in a lot of today's rap music😔I'm ALWAYS hanging out quietly enjoyin your vids, I should just subscribe sooo, yeah, YAYYY, lol✌🏾😁❤

[@justinmarin2455]

This video came out in 1987/or 1989... he was born in the Bronx , but raised in England...

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

I don't know how I'm only now - after decades of loving this song - realizing that it includes that "yelping / screeching" track that comprises almost the entire background track for Rob Base's "It Takes Two". But it's not nearly as obnoxious here as it is in It Takes Two.

[@johncompton5228]

Man I love them old school songs that actually tells a story

[@WadeSuave]

Such a classic

[@jsmith469]

Rick is from London and those cops are London Bobbies

[@mattboselli1099]

I love the way you said that your boy over there you like he doesn't know what a slick rick is. Lol.

[@jeraldbennett9289]

I think Primus should cover this song. If anyone has connections to Primus l, they should plant that in their heads.

[@eamonsullivan4091]

If you’re doing more old school do “rock da bells” by LL Cool J

[@ItzGoldfish1]

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas was my childhood And this was my favorite song on there.

[@gseals5835]

Great song and great reaction! I gotta know though is that a talking reckless Pants. shirt?

[@misfit1-3]

ik you guys will love “wildfire- fish narc”

[@hillsidee4x]

RECOMMENDING RUNDMC-PETER PIPER, SIMILAR STORY TELLING CLASSIC, ANOTHER B-BOY THROWBACK. THIS IS A BREAK DANCING ERA, MUCH RESPECT AND BIG SALUTE METAL HEADS DIGGING IN THE CRATES

[@MrRendizzy]

Good ol song nice job guys

[@ghostthad9155]

If y’all haven’t had a chance to listen to the new Bleed the Sky album “This Way Lies Madness,” “Carrion Bather” “Quiet Here” “This Way Lies Madness” and “Serpent” are some bangers that I’d highly recommend

[@wakeupstopsleeping6300]

This is 85 or 86 i came out of high school when this came out classics never die new school music will not the value to last 35 yrs like slick rick. Snoop dog main influence even covered a couple of his songs on his debut album.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

So we're sitting here watching two guys sitting there watching a video. O... K... What has my life come to?

[@bronzedesantos1860]

Slick Rick hey young world

[@horrorflikmusickofficialyo1014]

The video concept was a through back to the Key stone cops.

[@mr.pavone9719]

This song had a ton of recognizable samples, I miss that about hip-hop

[@shanehagerty5393]

You guys should react to Russian duo IC3PEAK, they have songs with Zillakami and Ghostemane that just dropped on their new album (the titles are in Russian but they're some of the first ones that show up when you look up their name)

[@xxblgamingxx4342]

You guys need to listen to Lorna Shore's "King Ov Deception" or ANY song by Slaughter to Prevail

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Who else spent way too much time trying to determine if "Pants." was really printed on his shirt or not? It "obviously" is whenever he moves his arm up in front of it. But his beard seems to have a magical transparent quality.

[@ombre_blanco1725]

Y’all got to react to Blake - Ten Four. He sampled Falling Away From Me by Korn for the beat 🔥🔥

[@nicky2]

I think it’s time you guys do the Midnight some justice and review their new song “Deep Blue”

[@nonso2284]

REACT TO THE WEEKND!!!

[@matoscu]

The video and song are totally different. Its better to just listen imagine what's going on. Slick Rick was a master of storytelling (in hip hop) video is cool but not important as all.

[@kalebnbrown]

I agree.
