for me this is one of the best albums in the past 15 years. rhymes,beats,stories,the flow and wordplay. good features .. from the moment u hear the intro with the footsteps in jail u know this is gonna be some epic shyt. even the fukking cover is classic.

a veteran making his return to hip hop. we need this guy back in the game ..

Really good album, that I really enjoy, has many songs I love and consider classic. It's also highly unique in it's approach/style, not many projects like this, when you consider the stories, innocence, flavour, vibes, it's just really really dope shyt...

its a forgotten gem .. i dug it out yesterday and was like "how the fukk did i forget this album"

he wasn't afraid to make his own album. thats why its so unique imo. the guy mastered the art of being mellow on a hook but keeping it gangster with the rhymes. its exactly what he titled the album .. art ..

its shame he never released a follow up... it his true sophomore album

i read somewhere that he was waiting for the right time to make a new album. i think slick rick is the type of guy that could make an album right now and it be a hit. u cant front on his style and the quality of his music. he is the fukking word swagger .. i hope he gets in the studio soon

This album is the definitively classic with a timeless feel. And based off that record that he dropped for that soundtrack . . it's safe to say Slick Rick's still got it and is still one of the most unique talents and lyrical personalities in hip-hop. I hope to see more work from him, hopefully in the form of an album
