La Di Da Di, Slick Rick's Still Gaudy

Once upon a time, not long ago, before Slick Rick started spending his dough ... he could probably actually read his watch without blinding himself!

Just to make sure everyone knows he's still richer than you, the rap pioneer rocked a diamond crusted eye-patch, diamond rings, diamond necklaces with diamond pendants, and a diamond watch -- complete with four extra rings of diamonds -- to a party at the Velvet Room in Atlanta over the weekend.

Oh, and even though you can't see it in this photo -- he's still rockin' the OG gold teef too! Hope he saved some of the '80's loot to hire a bodyguard.

16. How can you people not know who Slick Rick is? And shut up about his 'bling', if you knew anything you'd know that was his thing.

He was, is, and always will be the man.

17. Hey Mikespace,

La di da di........... we like to party...............we don't smoke dope.....and we don't bother nobody.

He is awesome. Lets not even mention the race card, too many fools on here already. There are good and bad people of every race, nationality, and gender.

18. A walking target for a break in or personal mugging...hope the man has a hi tech security system at home and bodyguards with him. With BOB crime levels they way they are, this guy is acting like a walking Brinks Truck with a sign on him saying "rob me".

Poor Example to anyone on what to do with your extra earnings. But alas, its a free country and PC People will encourage more of it just to demonstrate if you got it flaunt it.

Try wearing a Starter Jacket or Air Jordans around town and see what happens. Safe only in the suburbs for that stuff.

20. This is how Balck Men feel powerful and am Black

It's so embarrassing, not to mention it looks ridiculous.

Would Donald Trump, Bill Gates, or someone WHO REALLY HAS MONEY, do such things, they don't BRAG ABOUT THEIR MONEY.


Am from the Bronx, and Slick Rick and his mother lived one block from me, on DeRema Avenue, it was a decent neighborhood, where we own our homes but not lavish.

He doesn't even work now really, he must have RENTED THE JEWLERY, which makes him even MORE PATHETIC

Aggh! we have no shame.

22. This is a sad example to pass on to a young black boy about ego, responsibility, love, and understanding. Young black kid need to see men caring about education, marriage, strong family units, faith in God and good citizenship. You can blame whites until the cows come home but this is what's going on and people will not condemn 70% out-of wedlock births, sports over education, neighborhoods out of control and victimhood. Blacks are the strongest people around and the people have been through more crap than all the others races combined. But blacks have got to start condemning people who's image is not good for their kids and the race combine. Being black and wrong is right if the person is wrong!!!

23. Maybe some of the "critics (i.e. broke ass haters) should google Slick Rick. You'd be surprised at how long he's been around and what he's accomplished. We're talking old school, before PE, NWA or pretty much anyone else you can think of these days. Rick is a true pioneer. Hate it or love it I speak the truth.

25. You got that right, #19. Hollywood is FULL of Blood Diamonds.

Every awards show and red carpet event is jam-packed with celebs with major Blood Diamonds literally dripping from their ears, necks, wrists, and fingers. Millions and millions of dollars' worth....

It's embarrassing in front of the world.

27. He's... 'the poor fool'.

28. For the people who don't know like red white and blue Slick Rick is not from CA. He from South Wimbledon, London. And for the other who say he is broke he does own a few apartment Bldg in New York where he lives now. So if you don't know anything about hip hop I can see why some of you say the things you say. But you should keep it to yourself so you don't look like a fool
