Rick still got bars but both of these beats are :trash:

Alc or Madlib or somebody that still does sample heavy beats in 2019 needs to hook him up.

dude would have no problem sourcing heat

You would think.

I'm curious if he's lost his ear for beats. It happens. Because I don't know how he heard these and was like :wow: "this is it".

The first one isn't so bad but it's the exact same Parliament loop as "Me, Myself And I". Might as well rap over "Atomic Dog" in 2019.

This feels all over the place, I dont really know what Slick is going for here. Hes put them up on Spotify too, second track is only 1.30 long.

Hopefully this leads to some new music and some more complete songs. He's still enjoyable to listen to and is clearly still having fun though :yeshrug:

this is like a condensed intro video with an incredible b side interlude. Except the interlude b side joint is actually cut longer than and what is typically ever given to us.

good stuff.

was not to sure about the me myself and i loop break revisit when it started.
rick actually murders it.
then the bside kicks it and we get where and what JAY was never good at biting. Which gives us a great reminder.
that this is slick rick and slick rick on this is actually dope.
good stuff,...
the me myself and i take can be a bit oftputting. Yet rick is charming enough to get past the revisit to dela's platinum selling sample choice.
being a completely jarring break at the beginning. Slick rick's content, mic presence and skill carries this completely.

YO these beats are screaming 1989 its a beautiful thing

A lot of the comments on youtube confirming my suspicions that a lot of 'real heads' don't fukk with golden era hip-hop like that

Last thing in the world I wanna hear is Slick Rick over modern production or trying to keep up with the times in any way

So many legends came back doing that...its never good 99% of the time

2019 ain't about nothing that a legend should be pressed to conform to music or dress wise
