I consider him the greatest story teller of all time. Younger guys say Biggie, but to me Rick did it at a high level years before.

That slight south London accent is slick

invs ink he lost his accent been in the states too long

[@rajorn2223]

​@@erinlevere6881 You can still hear the London accent slightly though

3:38 "You gotta overlook a lot of smart-mouths, because a lot of people are gonna say smart things to you and try you" That's awesome advice by Slick Rick. And these "smart-mouths" are not just in jail, you might come across them in society too. But usually these people who "try you" are the ones who don't seem to have as bright a future as you have, that's why they can afford to say what they say because they're not the ones who will lose the most if you overreact to their statements and do something drastic.

[@BoatBomberMan]

frank grinds This is an old comment but this is some advice I needed to hear. To put it simply just don't sweat the shit talk.

[@EASFromTheWest]

It’s not anti smart necessarily. Kanye got to say the things he said about George Bush and he was bigger and more successful than ever. Most importantly, he was actually right.

[@skuzad25]

Yes this is legendary advice. Man was a wise one. Real Machiavellian shit.

[@Hastur.in.yellow]

Love Slick Rick. Him and MF DOOM are my favorite rap storytellers.

[@user-re7po]

Dude if I lose an eye I’m going to start doing slick rick covers

[@MisssKayy]

😂 this made me lol

[@rajorn2223]

Ask Mike Tyson to punch you in one of your eyes like he did to Mitch Green

[@alexwelch8855]

His awareness is outstanding. Even when at his lowest he’s humble fuck sakes

[@davonberr4747]

slick rick moved to america when he was a teenager, the dude that said he moved here when he was 2 might be thinking of MF DOOM

[@superdude9856]

he was 11, not a teenager

[@cartoonworld1000]

Tax in England is very high, there were a lot of places in the 80s and 90s in England that had a high unemployment rate as well.

[@yen5019]

Nah he was 11

​@@cartoonworld1000 Do you think it was worse in those days compared to now 🤔

[@stewarteasy72]

In 1995 when I was just 10 years old, Behind Bars was the answer to my questions about The Ruler's whereabouts like what happened to him post-Children's Story. I mean, Slick Rick was one of my favorite MC in the late 80s era. 1989 was the time when I was around 5 years old when Children's Story came out. So, when the 90s came, that's where hip hop changed by the time I didn't know that he was in jail until Behind Bars came out in November 1994, that was the answer: He was behind bars. 1995 was the darker moment for hip hop and I will never forget that. Slick Rick was one of the greatest MC's who ever lived. Oh yeah, don't forget about the 1995 documentary The Show, It's where Russell visited Rick in jail. Hilarious movie ever.

[@BomberMonkAssassin32]

Slick rick originally from London proud of that 👍🏾

[@OnettBoyXD]

Nas from-da-Ldn Why? Nigga identifies as an American, his past life is forgotten.

[@wetdon591]

@@OnettBoyXD dont matter he was born there

[@OnettBoyXD]

Wet Don He's not British nor does he identify as one. You shit teeth Brits have no known rappers so fuck off.

[@roccowingfield2210]

Astro American rappers from past are always gonna be good but modern American rappers are all shit way behind a lot of uk rappers

[@OnettBoyXD]

@@roccowingfield2210 Is that why most American rappers are globally known, while nobody outside of the UK, knows about UK rappers? Sit the fuck down.

[@ashconbeats8414]

He has a weird combination of a London and New York accent

[@TTuoTT]

Listen to his track - Behind Bars. His best in my opinion

[@Stoney-Jacksman]

I love Slick Rick..when I was young and first heard his voice and flow..i was mesmerized..I wanted to know what this magical shit was... couldnt find anything, of course no internet...a whole other world. But damn Slick Rick is dope as fuck.. real mc with such a dope style!

[@bilalgarcia2543]

Fade fresh as hell

[@MrJeffreyromain]

There is always several sides to every story, and although Rick may or may have not made some mistakes, that isn't for me to judge. All I know after having read about him and watched similar interviews, is that iRick is an intelligent man with a heart of gold. Peace and happiness to the man.

[@gobshite]

Slick Rick's an Englishman!

[@DarnellGrimes]

It’s all because of you I’m feeling sad and low You went away and now my life is filled with rainy days !

slick rick is an innocent man

[@bigcheese2128]

Was a trip seeing a documentary that refers to Tupac as a living person and in the same breath talks about snoop dogg potentially going to prison for murder

[@heinzbeanzbeanz7233]

Anyone else think the more you listen to rick his voice change

[@omage4209]

Crazy shit is, he a positive role model to youth n kids to do right, hey young world, the story bout the kid, there’s more too. He shouldn’t have went to jail g, that’s a fact.

[@qdontae6]

Other than hitting a innocent person I don’t see what he did wrong

[@TyhlerNovac]

Looked back and swore he Killed him...

[@samlaskowski9537]

He moved here when he was 11. The accent eventually fades he was a kid. Slash was born in the uk and lived until he was 13, u can't even tell he's from there.

[@davewalker9899]

Found our he lived in England till he was 11 was hoping he'd have a slight London accent

[@Silkroads733]

Dave Walker hi just because he lived in England doesn't mean he would have a London accent, England has over 10 cities and towns with over 20 different accents.

[@Anonymous95202]

Hotel # 34 MAIN ST 69 he lived in london smartass

[@hostelowner]

Hotel # 34 MAIN ST 69 he actually had an accent mainly you can hear it in the 80s. Faded over time.

[@KaizerMan]

I’m from London and personally his British accent creeped in a bit at 1:06 - 1:11 especially the way he said “suffering” and “I could be out dead” sounded very much like a Londoner but then disappeared when he said the word “life” lol

[@niceguy4871]

Beverly Huttinger London actually has a higher crime rate than NY.

[@zezxi7337]

he kind of told the future his song behind bars was supposed to be him in the video

[@justinhemboorger1620]

Zezxi it was realeased while he was actually behind bars not before

[@mightyraccoon7155]

Ricky Walters is such a respectable guy. He's improving his life after jail instead of trying to ruin it like other rappers...

[@lukedaley17]
