Slick Rick

I've been in the game for 30 years and I came to represent.

We need realism to deal with reality.

It can always be transformed into an avenue of information.

We might be workers, but we are not happy go-lucky jungle bunnies.

And to turn it into rap wasn't too difficult besides just rhymin' the last words of each line.

That song is a story that shows how easily you could get slipped into being labeled as the bad guy, even though what you really trying to do is tell the bad guy to leave you alone.

Hiphop has remained in an infantile stage and has not been allowed to grow.

I think that Hiphop should be a pulpit for the people.

There is not enough high intellect to be catered to and when most people think of Hiphop they think of low intellect.

Nobody thought about having more money than you could ever spend.

I kicked down doors to show that Hiphop has matured. And it may be a little controversial.

I was never a rah-rah person. I never sold drugs or did anything crazy.

You commit a felony, it does not matter who you are, you could be deported.

I never really went to any concerts that I wasn't in.

I think they will feel refreshed because I cater to a mature audience.

Hiphop hasn't had stages of growth through its 30 years of existence.

When I was little, I always used to like to tell stories cuz it was entertaining to people.

People think that I'm conceited, and I'm not a nice person.

It draws you in and creates pictures, so what I do is almost like a talking story book.

I love eggs fried over medium.
