Slick Rick - Hey Young World

[TEKBEATZ]

My favorite verse

But folks your age don't act like you do, so
so be mature... and put the point to a halt
And if you're over eighteen... I wish you'd act like an adult
Don't live in a world... of hate hate hate
Pull yourself together... and get yourself straight
Men don't steal... hey, most don't borrow
And if you smoke crack... your kids'll smoke crack tomorrow

Still dope after 30 years

 

[King Poetic]

[Jayou Ayen]

Greatest hip hop song I've ever heard, don't see that ever changing.

[James Carter]

Classic song from a classic album

 

[Why-Fi]

all jokes aside...are you in good health?

 

[Knights89]

Fav rap song

 

[Headcase]

Easily one of the top 5 Hip-Hop songs of all time. It might come off as corny by todays standards, but its just as earnest.

And to the guy who brought up Big Daddy Kane - I love Kane, but its obvious "Children R the Future" was inspired by "Hey Young World"

 

[Bondye Vodou]

classic song, classic album

 

[L. Deezy]
