Slick Rick (born January 14, 1965) is the stage name of Richard Walters an English-American Rapper born in London, UK.
Born in Mitcham, London, UK, to British Jamaican parents, Walters was blinded in his right eye by broken glass at an early age and has wore a distinctive eye patch ever since. The family moved to Brooklyn, New York, U.S. in 1977 with Walters starting his music career in late 1983 after going Doug E. Fresh’s Get Fresh Crew under the moniker MC Ricky D. Within the hip hop genre, Walters recorded a series of highly acclaimed tracks including “La Di Da” and “Children’s Story” which received modest mainstream attention.
In 1988 Walters released his solo debut album “The Great Adventures of Slick Rick” on Def Jam Records, the biggest hip hop label at the time, due to an acquaintance with head Russell Simmons. The album achieved critical acclaim and reached No. 1 on Billboards R&B/Hop-Hop chart and featured the charted singles “Hey Young World” and “Teenage Love” and the highly popular but radio unplayable “Treat Her Like A Prostitute”.
Walters was incarcerated for five years in 1990, two years for shooting his cousin Mike Plummer after Plummer had Walters shot outside of a club, and three years for his continued struggle with Immigration and Naturalization Services over his U.S. residency. Before the sentencing Russell Simmons bailed him out and Walters’ second album “The Ruler’s Back” was released to limited commercial success and acclaim. His third studio album the suitably named “Behind Bars” was released in 1994 whilst he remained in prison and received much of the same lukewarm approval of his second.
Dubbed as the follow-up to the classic “The Great Adventures of Slick Rick”, “The Art of Storytelling” released on May 25, 1999, was Walters’ most successful album charting at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Featuring artists OutKast, Nas and Snoop Dog, the album cemented Walters’ position as a disciple of the golden age of hip hop.
Walters is known as a pioneer of narrative rap with his laudable storytelling and adoption of various voices in his tracks, as well as being noted for his use of the ‘Queen’s English’ including enviable diction and British-tinged pronunciation. The influence of Slick Rick on the hip hop genre is evident with consistent references to him in modern pop culture and covers of his songs.
Mehr erfahrenHip hop remains a genre, particularly in the current climate, that can often feel bereft of genuine originals, where trends tend to be followed without any hint that doing so is in any way a negative thing. Perhaps that wasn’t quite as true a couple of decades or so ago, and it’s certainly easy to feel that way when you think about artists like Slick Rick. He’s certainly visually striking, what with his trademark eyepatch, tons of jewellery so gaudy that Mr. T would turn his nose up at it, and consistently loud clothing, but there’s much more to him than that; it’s his unique storytelling style that really sets him apart from his peers. Whilst a thirty-plus year career has never quite seen him crossover in a way that has really seen him benefit commercially - his debut The Great Adventures of Slick Rick eventually went platinum, although his work ethic hasn’t helped, with just three albums since - he remains close to the hearts of all genuine hip hop fans, and tours frequently as a result. He hasn’t played in the UK - where he was born - for some time, but U.S. shows of late suggest that, if and when he does, fans should expect beat backing from both a DJ and the beatboxing skills of Doug E. Fresh, as well as Rick’s legendarily smooth flow and razor-sharp lyricism being translated faithfully to the stage.
I saw Slick Rick in Macon, Georgia last night October 30th 2014. Man, what a letdown. He has been one of my favorite rappers for a long time now and I was thrilled to finally be able to see him live.
Rick came on around 10:15 and was decked out in his signature chains and matching head to toe outfit. He played mostly his songs from his early albums, but did so with no enthusiasm or energy. He stood in one spot on the stage with a hand in his pocket and delivered his verses in an almost bored manner. I was hoping that maybe I was just being cynical, but everyone else in the audience looked disappointed too. I think Slick Rick must have seen this, and to hype up the crowd, he did the played out "when I say ho, you say ho, HO HO, when I say Slick, you say Rick, Slick Rick... If I wanted to hear that every five minutes, I would have stayed at home and played Parappa the Rapper. All this could have been forgiven if he played the songs people really wanted to hear. Is it possible Rick doesn't realize the songs people want to hear? Maybe. I will always love Slick Rick, and the concert hasn't made me like him any less, but I may just stick to listening to the albums in the future.
Ricky Walters, better known as Slick Rick or affectionately otherwise Rick the Ruler or MC Ricky D has been a frequenter of the hip hop charts for over thirty years and is considered an icon of the genre. Countless artists have sampled his work and named him as an influencer, everybody from TLC to Snoop Dogg.
Still performing to this date, the rapper who was once called hip hop's greatest storyteller really knows how to conduct an engaging live show. He hand picks what he considers to be his best work from across his long discography and delights audiences with classics including 'Hey Young World' and 'Kit (What's the Scoop)'.
He remains confident yet endearing throughout the show, thanking the crowd for their cheers of support between his songs. They are all waiting for his most iconic piece of work, 'Children's Story' which is saved for a finale where every audience proudly sings along with the MC and enjoys a little piece of hip hop history.
Slick Rick was amazing. He did a solid hour worth of material, making sure to perform songs off of each album. Additionally, he spit a couple of his classics with more soulful instrumentation and it just elevated his set. This is my fifth time watching him perform live, and just like a fine wine, he's getting better (and more fun to watch) with age.
By first hearing some old school hip hop classics and the great singer Intelligenz, Slick Rick came up to perform his old songs, which was most entertaining and a pleasure to watch, he performed with a lot of energy and really involved the public through the whole show, I absolutely loved the show, and look back at it with great memories.
I enjoyed Slick Rick concert, and I enjoyed the price of the tickets, it was nice to hear him perform some of his all time hits, I just wish he didn't keep calling us Miami.... This is Ft. Lauderdale.... But much respect to Rick da Ruler...
He made the crowd wait forever then puts on a sideways rapper to open and waster more time. Show was set to start at 8 not 11 pm! It was ok. I would not have gone if i knew we had to wait for 3 hours. Pffff.It was fun to see him.
