Slick Rick: We as artists, we was never getting a dime, regardless. We’re happy if we get, like Prince says. ... if Prince was to go and sell his own little records, even if he can sell a hundred-thousand records, he’s rich. If he sells it himself.

I found the part where he talks about hip-hop being "very juvenile" funny because he opened for Chris Rock in DC last month and did "La-Di-Da-Di" with Doug E. Fresh! Too bad the performance didn't make it to the HBO special.

Sorry Bambi, but eh... Who's Slick Rick..

Thx for the info Square..

interesting. i really do support prince in his crusade regardin the music industry. and it's neat to see other musicians respect him and refer to him and follow, making changes

Morcheeba had already jumped the shark, but then Slick Rick dropped by on their last album and contributed this, one of the most offensive pieces of shite ever committed to CD. Thanks, Rick. I hate you and Morcheeba for foisting that on the world.

WOW, This was a very good read. Slick Rick has done a lot of growing. Good for him. God Bless.
