ʻO Slick Rick he mea pena rap Pelekania-ʻAmelika, mea hana, a me ka haku mele. ʻO ia kekahi o nā mea haʻi moʻolelo kaulana loa i ka mōʻaukala hip-hop, a me nā mea kikowaena o ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Golden Era. He leo ʻōlelo Pelekania kāna. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia kona leo no ka laʻana i nā mele "alanui".
ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka kaulana o ka rapper i hele mai i ka waena o 80s. Ua piʻi ʻo ia i ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe me nā mea pena kiʻi rap Doug E. Fresh a me Get Fresh Crew. ʻO nā hana mele a ka poʻe mele - ʻO ka Hōʻike a me La Di Da Di ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he moʻomeheu maoli o ka hip-hop.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio
He liʻiliʻi loa ka ʻike e pili ana i ka wā kamaliʻi a me nā makahiki ʻōpio o ka mea pena rap. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Richard Martin Lloyd Walters (inoa maoli o ka mea mele) ma Ianuali 14, 1965. Ua lilo kona wā kamaliʻi ma ke komohana o Lākana.
Ua hānai ʻia ʻo ia i loko o kahi ʻohana o nā malihini mai Jamaica. ʻO ke kūlana kālā o ka ʻohana i ka wā kamaliʻi o Slick Rick i waiho nui i ka makemake. ʻOiai i kēlā manawa, ua hoʻonohonohoʻia kahi hoʻolālā ma ke poʻo o kahi kanakaʻeleʻele, i kona manaʻo, e kōkua iā ia e lawe i ke kūlana kālā o kaʻohana i kahi kiʻekiʻe.
I kona wā kamaliʻi, waiho ʻia ʻo ia me ka maka hoʻokahi. ʻO ka hewa wale nō - he ʻāpana aniani i hāʻule i loko o kāna mau ʻāpana ʻike. I ka waena o nā makahiki 70, ua neʻe ʻo Slick Rick a me kona ʻohana i ka ʻāina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Ua komo koke ʻo ia i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Fiorello H. Laguardia no nā mele a me nā noʻeau. Ua aloha ʻo Slick i nā mele ʻeleʻele. Loaʻa iā ia ka hauʻoli nui o ka hoʻolohe ʻana i nā mele rap. I loko o kēia manawa, ho'āʻo mua ʻo ia e "heluhelu".
Ma kahi kula hoʻonaʻauao, ua hālāwai ʻo ia me ka mea pena rap Dana Dane. Ua hoʻoikaika ʻo ia i ke aloha o Rick i ka recitative. Ua hana nā kāne ma nā hanana kula, a ma hope ua hoʻokumu i ka duo KANGOL CREW. ʻAʻole i hoʻopaʻa ka poʻe kiʻi Rap i hoʻokahi LP a hoʻokahi hoʻi. ʻOiai naʻe, ua loaʻa iā lākou kekahi nui o ka mahalo i ke kaiāulu hip-hop.
Ua kū ʻo Rick i waho o kāna mau hoa. Ua ʻaʻahu ʻo ia i kahi ʻeleʻele ma luna o kona maka hema a ua kau ʻia me nā kaulahao gula nui, a ma hope e lilo ia i mea pono no nā mea pena rap. Eia hou, ua hoʻokūpaʻaʻo Slick Rick i ka leo, i lilo iʻano koʻikoʻi o ke kanakaʻeleʻele.
ʻO ke ala hana o ka mea rapper
I ka waena o nā makahiki 80, ua laki ʻo Slick Rick ʻōpio e hālāwai me Doug E. Fresh. Ua kono ʻo ia iā ia e lilo i ʻāpana o ka Get Fresh Crew. Mai ia manawa, hoʻokani pila ʻo ia i ka ʻoihana.
I ka huakaʻi me ka hui, ua komo ʻo Slick Rick i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kekahi o nā mele hip-hop kaulana loa. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ke mele The Show/La-Di-Da-Di. Ua kaulana kēia mele i nā poʻe mele alanui a hiki i kēia lā.
ʻO ka kamaʻilio ʻana me Russell Simmons i ʻae i ka mea rapper e hoʻopau i kāna ʻaelike koʻikoʻi mua me ka hale hoʻopaʻa leo Def Jam a e ʻimi i kahi ʻoihana solo. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Slick Rick e hōʻuluʻulu i kāna LP mua, akā ua lohi kāna hoʻopaʻa ʻana no hoʻokahi makahiki.
I ka hopena o nā makahiki 80 o ke kenekulia i hala, ua hoʻomaka ka LP mua o ka rapper. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka hōʻiliʻili The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick. ʻAʻole i komo wale ka hōʻiliʻili i ka mōʻaukala o ka hardcore rap, akā ua hōʻea i ka mea i kapa ʻia ke kūlana platinum.
Nā pilikia o Slick Rick me ke kānāwai
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 90, ua hopu ʻia ka rapper. Ke kū nei ʻo ia i kahi manawa kupanaha no ka pepehi kanaka ʻana i kekahi hoahānau a me kahi kiaʻi kino kahiko. I ka hoʻokolokolo ʻana, ua ʻōlelo ka mea rapper ua pepehi ʻo ia i ke kiaʻi no ka mea ua huhū ʻo ia iā ia a ʻōlelo ʻo ia e hana me ka ʻohana o ka rapper no ka mea hōʻole ka mea hoʻokani e hoʻonui i kāna uku.
Ua ʻae ka ʻaha e hoʻokuʻu (no ka manawa lōʻihi) i ka rapper ma ka $800 bail. I kēlā manawa, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻae ʻia kēia nui no Slick Rick. Ua hele mai ʻo Russell Simmons e kōkua i kahi hoaaloha, nāna i uku i ka huina i haʻi ʻia e ka ʻaha.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana, ua noho ʻo Slick Rick i kahi hale hoʻopaʻa leo a hoʻopaʻa i kāna album studio lua i loko o ʻekolu pule wale nō. Ua kapa ʻia ka lua studio album ʻo The Ruler's Back. No kekahi o nā mele, ua hōʻike pū ka rapper i nā wikiō wikiō.
Ua hewa ka ʻaha iā Slick Rick. No laila, ua hele ka rapper i ka hale paʻahao no 10 mau makahiki. ʻO ka mea i pumehana iā ia i kēlā manawa, ʻo ia ka manawa e hoʻokuʻu koke ʻia ai no ka hana maikaʻi.
I ka makahiki 1993, no ka hana hoʻohālike a ma lalo o kahi papahana kūikawā, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo ia no ka manawa pōkole, a hoʻopaʻa koke i kāna album studio ʻekolu. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka mooolelo Behind Bars. I ka makahiki 1998, ua haʻalele ʻo Slick Rick i ka hale paʻahao ma ke kakahiaka a mau loa.
I loko o kēia manawa, hana pū ʻo ia me AZ, Yvette Michel, Eric Sermon a me nā mea pena kiʻi ʻē aʻe. Ho'āʻo ʻo ia i kona lima ʻaʻole wale ma ke ʻano he rap artist, akā he mea hana pū kekahi. I ka pau ʻana o nā makahiki 90, ua hoʻomaka ka mua o ka album studio ʻehā o ka mea mele, i kapa ʻia ʻo The Art of Storytelling.
Nā kikoʻī o ke ola pilikino o ka rapper
I ka makahiki 1997, aia kekahi i hoʻopaʻa paʻa i ka puʻuwai o ka rapper. Ua male ʻo Slick Rick i kahi kaikamahine i kapa ʻia ʻo Mandi Aragones. ʻO ke kūlana no 2021 he kāne pū. Kaʻana like lākou i nā kiʻi aloha ma ka pūnaewele media.
ʻO nā mea hoihoi e pili ana iā Slick Rick
- Ua ʻike pū ʻo ia iā ia iho he mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni. He ʻumi kāna mau kiʻiʻoniʻoni.
- Ua ʻike ʻia nā album mua ʻelua a Slick Rick ma ke ʻano he hip-hop classics.
- Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā rappers i ʻōlelo ʻia ma ka mōʻaukala hip hop. ʻO nā hōkū honua e like me 2Pac, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nas, Lil Wayne a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i kamaʻilio e pili ana iā ia.
- Ua nalowale kona maka i hoʻokahi makahiki.
- Ua loaʻa i ka mea rapper ka VH-1 Hip Hop Honoree.
Slick Rick: ʻO ko mākou mau lā
I ka makahiki 2014, ua komo 'o ia i ka 'aha mele "Trans4M" i ho'onohonoho 'ia e will.i.am. I ka makahiki 2016, ua lilo ʻo ia i kamaʻāina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻoiai ua paʻa ʻo ia i ke kamaʻāina Pelekane.
