“Gather ’round party people as if your still living, and get on down to that ol’ Slick rhythm.”
I’m sure that you folks have heard by now that Slick Rick has received the Scooter Libby treatment from New York’s Governor Patterson. This means no more threats of INS sending him back to Haiti or wherever he was from originally. Before any of your favorite rap-tors were taking photo op mugshots Slick Rick was putting in hardbody work.
Most of y’all are too young to remember that Slick Rick had to shoot his cousin to keep dude from stealing his chains. Slick Rick caught a sick bid for that shit too. What is ironic is how so many people have come into rap music later and have done worse but received less time. Cassidy killed his childhood friend over a monetary dispute and he was back on the streets after only a few months.
I imagine that I may get to interview him one day. What should I ask Slick Rick if I have the opportunity? Here are a few questions that come to my mind…
see..although dude needs a stylist, not now, but RIGHT NOW….he doesn’t totally perpetuate coon/jig mythos like jig dancing…Cassidy is the greatest jig dancers there is, so who else to keep free and influence our young ones?
btw—cass didn’t shoot his childhood freind, he just played pussy while it was happening…
,,,,,,,,,,then ask him why the jealous motherfucker ex CEO of Def Jam Mr. Sean Carter aka Jay Z killed the funding for his album when Slick turned down an offer to have Jay Z rap on his upcoming album.
To quote Nas (even though most rap fans are dick riders and somehow think Jay has more talent than Jermaine Dupri or Jermaine Jackson)
“FUCK JAY Z”
Paniccioli, ur way too smart to conflate Jay-Z rapping v Jay-Z’s supposed jerk tendencies as a music TI. Dude might be an incompetent jerk as a boss, I wouldn’t know.
I do know dude is quite excellent on the m-i-c, in the 1st tier level of history alongside cats like Nas, Black Thought, Rakim, BIG, Kweli, etc. To say that Joe Camel has no talent like the lame Midget Dupri is incongruous.
B o r i n g 90% of his shit is re thread. How the fuck is he considered “quite excellent”? Maybe I was listening to some other dude named Jay Z. He is neither the best or the worst, just mid range…….hey fuck it. love it or hate it, I listen to him late at night when I can’t get to sleep. Peace, Ernie
and Mr. Nasir said it better than I could about Jay ZZZZZZ…………… “Negro Please!”………
