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.
Classic track he released post jail
One of the coolest voices ever, switches between NY and London mid-word, could listen to him say anything
80's rap is super slept on honestly
People have payed homage to him multiple times.
Hell, he was on a song with Chamillionaire back in the day.
Interpolation here as well:
To answer your question His prime was before people who are 30+ now were born but he was definitely an innovator
I wish he didn’t get deported the second time maybe things woulda been different but I remember reading somewhere JD wanted to work with him for so long and jail had broke his motivation, even tho they made a few songs
Imagine Slick Rick on Neptunes/Ye/JD beats in the early 00’s.
But yeah Slick Rick is timeless
The only dope UK rapper (with an accent)
I’d say his accent is way more to the American side than British side personally
Classic track he released post jail
Another One
Wish he kept going but he sounded like he wasn’t feeling the direction rap was going subject wise along with jails effect on his creativity along with him getting deported in the early 2000’s
