In 1998, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick was selected as one of The Source's "100 Best Albums".The album was retrospectively awarded a perfect "five-mic" score by the magazine in 2002. In 2012, it was ranked at number 99 on Slant Magazine's list of "The 100 Best Albums of the 1980s". In VH1's 2008 ranking of the "100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs", the single "Children's Story" placed at number 61. No artist before or since has painted pictures as vividly as Slick Rick did on that album. He embodied what it was to be a superstar: the over-the-top persona, the jewellery, the clothes, his swagger, charisma, attitude. He had that London twang and the mannerisms, but still had the 'hood mentality – the urban, edgy approach. Nobody else had that combination.
