Filed under: Twisted Tales It was a simple little nursery-school rhyme that Ricky Walters busted off for his friend, beatboxer Doug E. Fresh: "La-di-da-di, we like to party/We don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody." Two decades later, he's still trying to get the U.S. government to believe him. The hip-hop career of Slick Rick has been weighed down by more shackles and chains than the bling pioneer could ever have imagined. His attempted-murder rap was only the beginning. Born in London to Jamaican parents, Ricky [...]
Brian Coleman - who's a mentor to me of sorts - dropped his very excellent book, Check the Technique , about a year ago, and it's still getting mad burn around the Internet. This week it landed on the Stones Throw home page , where, coincidentally, you can cop an autographed copy if you haven't already done the deed. For those who don't know, Coleman spent years interviewing hip-hop artists from the 80s and 90s about their classic discs, and Technique runs through every song in [...]
Forget tennis. Let's give South Wimbledon London credit where credit is deserved. Tis the home of Ricky Walters aka Slick Rick. Born and bred to Jamaican parents, Ricky D finally made his way, with his family, to the Bronx in the mid 70's. It was not too long before he ...
Yes, I'm an old person and a softie, and I know I used to really enjoy music with extra-vile lyrics, but still all the same, don't you think there really should be a lot more songs about not being a dumb dummy and disrespecting your mummy? Maybe if Slick Rick the Ruler had listened to this song more often himself he could have not gotten mixed up in that gun nonsense. Slick Rick - Hey Young World from The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick
"It's A Boy" is a 1991 single by Slick Rick, released to promote his sophomore release, The Ruler's Back. Rick spits about the birth of his son Ricky. Vance Wright produced "It's A Boy". His instrumental consists of tinny horns, clipped synthesizers and a sloppy loop of the "Impeach The President" break- can you tell I'm not a big fan of Vance's work on the beat? The chorus consists of an reverb-ed Rick saying "It's a boy" followed by a baby crying. Large Professor remixed "It's A Boy" for the 122 single release of [...]

Yes indeed, y'all know the score on this classic, or do you? No stress, here you have it, no charge. The fly guy with glasses from Flushing flips styles on the legendary Slick Rick cut, It's A Boy.

Since Dunce over at NASDANK was kind enough to reefer his fans over here, I feel like I owe it to any of his readers that might come here looking for some great hip hop to deliver. He helped me out a lot when I was getting this shit started, so I owe it to him to pay some respect. To be honest, today has been a pretty mid-grade day for hip hop, so I'm gonna turn around and post some of the hottest shit I've heard recently plus a couple classics. Only the dopest. Enjoy [...]

One of the few shows on music television that I look forward to watching every year.This has to be one of my personal favorite shows of all time this year. Three of my favorite hip hop artist of all time were highlighted. De La Soul, Slick Rick, and Naughty by Nature. They also paid dues to Too Short, Cypress Hill, and Issac Hayes. This show captures one of the missing things about the music that I love to death, the fun. It's good to sit and watch everyone having a good time including the artist. I love seeing the camera [...]

A few weeks ago, the city of Philadelphia hosted a wonderfully eclectic indie festival called Popped! Taking place over the entire weekend, artists from all points on the genre spectrum made an appearance. Philly is an old, northeast urban environment and the available space for a large festival is hard to find. The organizers decided to bring each day of Popped! to a different venue, leading to a diverse group of environments for the attendees to visit over the weekend. Being that the festival was on a smaller scale than some of the more famous [...]

before t'internet, there were magazines. ok there still are magazines but i now buy two per month - heat and glamour - whereas back in the day i used to get about ten. just seventeen was good for horoscopes and those little free books that taught you to be a total stalker, in a completely non-harmless way of course...'close your eyes and think of a question. stick a pencil down anywhere on the page. find the symbol you land on and the answer will be revealed....'he thinks you're too good for him'. well, durrrr. more! was of [...]

Photo via Genaro Molina/LA Times It's easy to get jaded writing about music every day. You can ask any writer or blogger. It's the sort of thing most of them complain about behind closed doors but have the common sense not to bitch about publicly. After all, the only way you're going to find a sweeter gig than writing about music for a living is if the Tim Floyd Fan Club procures you the sinecure. (hey, USC fans, Lil Romeo !). But every now and then you get to do [...]
I've mentioned before on this site about my involvement in planning the 2008 POPPED! Music Festival , happening this summer in Philadelphia. It's been a long time coming, but we're ready to announce the lineup for this year's festival, taking place over three days, June 20, 21, and 22, highlighting assorted venues across Philly. In its second year, POPPED! has grown from basement shows to a three-day event with a focus on diverse talent and sustainability, while remaining dedicated to bringing national attention to the City of Philadelphia and its burgeoning music scene.
