Slick Rick – Teacher, Teacher
Biography
Charlie Rock of Harlem World crew was instrumental in Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick being brought together. When Doug requested an introduction after he had seen him win local MC battle contests. It was at an MC contest at the 369 Armory on 142nd street in Harlem, given by promotion partners Ray Chandler & Charlie Rock, The Rick & Doug were formally introduced by Rock.
As a 20-year-old in the summer of 1985 he scored his first big hits, “La Di Da Di” and “The Show.” Once he gained a degree of wealth, Slick Rick also gained a reputation for regularly wearing an enormous amount of gold jewelry, including many large necklaces with giant pendants, bracelets, huge rings on each finger, and gold teeth.

In my book, Slick is the best storyteller in hip-hop. On top of that, he has one of the strongest discographies - 4 amazing albums. And yes - I even love The Ruler is Back. He is also one of the few rappers who can always make me laught....I mean damn - A Love That's True (Part I) has to be one the best/funniest hip-hop songs ever made. Adults Only gets me everytime too - a song about anal? Brilliant :D

@mrmocha i love that album, the fact it was rushed only makes me appreciate it more, i think it goes over peoples heads coz there was the time restriction when making the album coz of him going to jail which had a small impact on the creativity when you compare it to the first album, i don't compare it though i think all his albums are full of strong tracks

"The Ruler's Back" from 1991 is not bad at all. If you revisit it with some fresh ears you might be surprised. I remember buying Homebase and The Rulers Back cd on the same day. Shelved the Fresh Prince album after I wore out Summertime, listened to Ricky D's album for years.

I wish he coulda released anything close to The Great Adventures back then. That Album is one of the best hip hop albums i've ever heard, a 5 outta 5 from me.
