11.20 music

The Great Adventures of Slick Rick (Slick Rick, 1988)

Undoubtedly the most famous hip-hop album I hadn't heard, and as such there were a ton of "oh that's where that's from" moments, which are always fun.  But aside from that, what an incredible album!  I was gonna make a list of all the amazing little things about it but that'd be a lot of work and I also don't want to ruin it for the exactly none of you who are both reading this and either haven't heard this or are going to hear it.  But take my word for it, there's a lot of them.  Plus his style is so addicting.  His rhymes are simple but almost always natural and the storytelling remains unique, at least from what I've heard.

Choice cuts: Children's Story, The Moment I Feared, Mona Lisa
