Slick Rick Behind Bars Interview (1995)

This man is a legend. Sadly he does not have the respect he deserves. The man has a unique style. Fucking legend

That slight south London accent is slick

"You know what I'm saying." Every 90s rapper.

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

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.

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

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

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

"Ya know what I'm sayin"

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.

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

Fade fresh as hell

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.

Slick rick originally from London proud of that 👍🏾

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!
