Hip Hop Quote Of The Week

Artist: Slick Rick
Album: The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick (1988)
Song: Hey Young World

"Love mean happiness... that once was strong, but due to society... even that’s turned wrong
Times have changed... and it’s cool to look bummy and be a dumb dummy and disrespect your mummy. Have you forgotten... who put you on this earth?
Who brought you up right... and who loved you since your birth? Reward is a brainwashed kid goin wild young little girls already have a child..."

"...The laws were stern and justice stood and people were behaving like their all too good." Yeah, Slick was the man! I remember 1985 when The Show hit. I was coming out of High School and entering the Navy. Good and bad times. :)

Yeah, I got you by 10 years. Funny...at your age I thought that I'd be married with 1 + kids by now. Whew!! I'm glad that things worked out the way they did.
