Slick Rick
THE BEGINNING OF AN ERA As one of the premier voices to emerge from eighties hip-hop culture, rapper Slick Rick has been influential from the moment he stepped in front of a microphone. Beginning rap as a hobby when he was still a sharp-tongued high school student, the emerging wordsmith verbally fought to be the best. Battling in the lunchroom with his friends, including future “Delancey Street” rapper Dana Dane, the immigrant kid named Ricky Martin Lloyd Waters, who hailed from Mitchum-Surrey, England, was a high school art major who was simultaneously learning to paint pictures with the words tumbled from his tongue. Creating vivid narratives inspired by spectacle of his new surroundings in the Bronx, he began calling himself “MC Ricky D” and created a persona to fit his lush lyrics. Setting out on the New York City rap circuit, Rick performed locally at school contests, on park benches and inside local holes in the wall. It wasn’t long before he met Harlem based rapper Doug E. Fresh, who was the judge at a talent show that Rick entered. Noting Rick’s talent, Doug brought him on board as a member of his already established Get Fresh Crew. A PASSION FOR FASHION From the moment Ricky entered the professional vocal booth in 1985, to record the double-single gem that was “The Show” and “La-Di-Da-Di,” a song he’s penned before meeting Doug, he was a meek narrating genius, displaying five Ricky’s in one body: producer, lyricist, actor, director and singer. Projecting a fresh verbal flow and a scorching storytelling style, the million-selling single became the launching pad for one of hip-hop’s most iconic voices as “La-Di-Da-Di” became a worldwide anthem that has since been sampled or interpolated on over 600 records. Wearing fashionable suits, Bally shoes and his trademark Ray Ban sunglasses, Ricky became an overnight sensation. On stage at now-legendary clubs Harlem World and Union Square, the always dapper rapper “dressed to impress,” and became equally known for his gold chains and diamond rings. Blinded in his left eye from a childhood accident in his native London, Rick began sporting an eye patch. The perfect prototype for the future jiggy generation, Rick’s stylish flamboyance inspired Puffy, Biggie, Ghostface, Nas and Jay-Z.
