Name your top 5 favorite Slick Rick songs off of The Ruler's Back

[DontEemTry]

Honestly, yeah it was underwhelming in real time but it's funny how every time I randomly hear a song off this album decades later it puts a smile on my face and I don't press skip.

I'm sorry, I can't. The album just wasn't good. I can't name 4 songs I like. And I physically own it.

I have to agree I know Rick rushed it cuz of his legal issues and murder case

The art of storytelling thou is an underrated classic

Rick was rapping his ass off, but the beats were horrible

Yep. This and Immobilarity need to be remixed and re-released.

Those dissing this Classic are mere “CRUMBS” under Ricky D’s Ballys, friends.

Listened again this week. Album is a time capsule for a very brief, very strange period in hip hop when the genre was between a couple distinct eras. Obviously rushed due to the circumstances. Nonetheless got some great tracks and a few more entertaining joints, could have been a great project with more time to record.
