How cringe worthy was it when Al B Sure tried to rap like Slick Rick on Off On Your Own Girl?

Didn’t really notice until this thread.. tbh. But I think that’s just his voice sounding all nasally when he was trying to rap... That was the rap style for some for a min, back then. Listen to this from 1:00, then listen to Grand Puba, Kwame, etc

Didn’t matter back then. Plus al was at the forefront of the light skin movement for dudes. nikka coulda sounded like Elmer Fudd on the track and it wouldn’t have mattered.

Yeah Slick Rick had a lot of biters. Al B Sures speaking voice sounded nothing like that so he was going out of his way to sound like Rick.

Will Smith even had some Slick Rick'ish type songs. The delivery and subject matter on this joint was La Di Da Di influenced

Above the fray.
I never thought that was him rapping....and I still don't.

I think it's Scotty.....

====On a side note.....went to school with a guy who looked like the British bulldog(wrestler).....we use to roast him relentlessly....Al B sure came out...and chicks noticed he resembled him and it was off to the races for him....
