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.

46. My husband serves his country proudly. Do you? Do you know there is a war in Afghanistan? You are a sorry loser and soldiers are dying everyday for your stupid ass. Oh yeah! I did graduate high school and I am attending college. Improving myself. How about you?

49. Actually, it's a wise decision to invest in diamonds (if they are, in fact, real) The value of the dollar depreciates on a daily basis. At least diamonds are worth their weight around the globe. He can trade those in and get a helluva lot more money BACK for them (many years later) than the money itself would have made in a savings acct. NOT to say it's a wise fashion statement... just a wise financial move. :)

50. Hardley! Then you should be smarter and not post stupid comments. I would think you've had the opportunity to travel and meet so many people and not stereotype people the way you have.

54. Daisey.... Diamonds a good investment!

Your are a absolute fool if you think this.

Try to sell your diamonds... you will get 20% of what you paid. Loose 80% of value when you walk out the door.

You must sell this cr_p!!!

Pay off your credit cards and make 20% right now!

Typical chick genius!

56. 'Bloody Diamonds' , these people don't seem to realize that entire cultures and nations are being systematically destroyed by companies like De Deers, who sit on FAT stockpiles while people are paid starvation wages to be overworked as human digging automatons! Anyone who buys these worthless stones cares nothing about anyone but themselves. As far as worth goes, one of the big companies could flood the market and make a huge profit before their competitors are reeling to catch up, but I doubt this would happen! I wish it would, but it probably won't. People have zero knowledge that there are literally MOUNTAINS stockpiled secretly in well hidden and guarded vaults. Add to this the fact that synthetic diamonds are approaching a level that even the best are having trouble telling them apart from the real thing. Given that this is very common knowledge, when I see anyone dripping in diamonds, I see an uncaring, greedy, self obsessed person! Thanks for helping spread the word about this sad truth.And personally, I i know someone who has bought a diamond recently, I will always tell them exactly how I feel about them and why. Peace!

57. Sorry for the typos. I'm just tired. I would like to add that people with heirloom diamonds are not as much subjected to my ire. My mother has a very old watch covered in these cursed stones that people would literally kill to have, but it was bought long before these things were known.

58. Yeah 'julie' I'll go to your spam site and gladly have spyware added to my computer! I'll also try to get you slimy post pulled!

59. Who the f**k is this guy? Must be a slow day/night for TMZ staff.

60. but then again, why should he be any different from any other mega-rich celebrity? Most of them spend disgusting amounts of money on this week's designer 'it' clothes, shoes, and bags, and blow major carbon-ass footprints in their jets and Mercedes SUVs.

God forbid they'd have last week's Blahniks or Chanel. Horrid fellow men (women.)
