He’s often considered one of the best storytelling MCs, but people never bring up his influence on the rap game when it came to fashion or jewlery. He also had one of the best flows in the game, especially on his last album.

You def don’t listen to enough rap tbh Nas, Hov, Pharrell, 50, and so much more have paid homage to Rick

These jive turkeys need to stop sleeping on Slick Rick

Not the jive turkeys

he really pioneered this s*** but tbh his direct influence is on the legends of the game, it’s trickle down influence at this point. Niggas rn are influenced by him thru the artists they admire now that back in the day admired him

OP preachin.

One of the greatest storytellers in rap.

La Di Da Di is the most bitten rap song OAT.

Snoop got a lot of his style from Slick Rick during his initial run.

This Is How We Do It is a tribute to Children's Story.

Problem is he got locked up and he didn't really make a big comeback when he got out of jail so that ended up hurting his momentum.

Fav rapper from the 80s

Hey young world is beautiful

The only dope UK rapper (with an accent)

Top 10 track of all time

That uptown swag saved him

My GOAT

This album >>>>>>

He’s not on Tik tok

Went out on a high note.

Wish we got a Masta Ace x Slick Rick track tho

I listen to plenty of rap. I’m talking amongst rap heads and the public not amongst rappers.

pharrell has a interlude talking solely about slick

He gave Fetty Wap a style to run with

Fetty never wore the eyepatch my good jit

One of the coolest rappers oat.

real

He needs a iced out patch tbh

Fetty was trying to normalize just rocking like that tho, without a patch
