A Classic From '88 (Rating: 10 out of 10- -5.0 stars)
Chandler | Atlanta (College Park), Georgia | 01/31/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Giving this album more praise is like beating a dead horse. You see the 5 star reviews and know how great Slick Rick is when it comes to his story telling abilities (except a few people, like the reviewer who doesn't know how to spell). What I believed is that Slick Rick was ahead of his time when he made this album, because no one could rhyme like he can (and people today still cannot do that). Everybody knows his huge classic single "Children's Story". My favorite from this album would be "Teenage Love" which is an excellent story about love. Other favorites would be the funny "Treat Her Like A Prostitute", "The Ruler's Back" (guess who made a cover of that song???), and the even funnier track "Lick The Balls".



Production here is great too. Handled by Slick Rick himself, Jam Master Jay, Hank Shocklee, and Erick Sadler, expect some nice production here. It may sound a little dated for younger ears, but trust me, you'll love it. Slick Rick opened the door for a new rhyme style in rap music. If you don't have this, you need to purchase this right away. Slick Rick would put together more excellent albums down the line, but everyone is going to remember him for this one here. Peace.

"I rode with my brothers for a weekend get away to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. On the way back, my brother played "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick" and I loved the entire album :-) The beats were great, the lyrics and story telling were superb, and his style is original! When I went home, I had to purchase the album myelf and it now stays in heavy rotation!



My personal favs are tracks 1-4, 7, 10, and 11! Great album that even appeals to the future generations. I thank my brother every time I hear this album for putting me on lol! If you purchase it, you won't regret it...trust me!"
