Slick Rick - Great Adventures of Slick Rick
Get On Down CD / Book / 7"
Record Store Day 2017 Exclusive
New and Sealed.
"Storytelling has been a part of the hip-hop lexicon since the artform's earliest days. And in all those decades, there has never been a tale-weaver like Slick Rick. Even masters who came along in Rick's wake -- ranging from Will Smith to Ghostface Killah and Eminem -- know that even though they blazed their own paths, they never did it better than the Slick one. When it comes to Rick and his tales, 1988's Children's Story is perhaps his best, recited to this day by fans and MCs in training as a rite of passage. Just hearing the opening lines begins a sing-along that can quickly fill a room: 'Once upon a time / Not long ago / When people wore pajamas / And lived life slow?.' Get On Down, known for its unique approach to packaging hip-hop classics, has come up with another winner here, presenting the lyrics to this immortal rap tale in never-before-seen form. Rick's lines from the song are re-created in visual form in a 16 page book with a puffy cover -- presented like a legit children's book, thick pages and all. From the little boy who was misled to the tense police chase, to the unsure children hearing the story from their 'uncle Ricky,' this is the most unique way the story has ever been presented. Of course there is music to match -- for Record Store Day the exclusive package includes a picture sleeve 45 with 'Children's Story' and 'The Moment I Feared' (with artwork taken from the original Children's Story 12-inch), and a CD of The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick, the 1988 Def Jam album that made Rick a worldwide star. Whether you pick this up for yourself or to give to the hip-hop fan on your shopping list who will stare wide-eyed at the unique package, no one will walk away from this one disappointed."
