Nephew #1: Uncle Ricky, can you read us a TV Tropes page? Please, huh, please?Slick Rick: All right, you kids get to bed, I'll go get the tablet.Nephews: Yay, alright!Slick Rick: Ya'll tucked in?Nephew #2: Yes!Slick Rick: Here we go...The Great Adventures of Slick Rick is the debut solo album by British-Jamaican rapper Slick Rick, released in 1988 on Def Jam Records.Expanding on the storytelling concept previously used in "La Di Da Di" ,The Great Adventures is a Concept Album in that the whole album is played out like a storybook, with different tales. Rick also makes use of some common Aesops throughout the album, including relationships gone bad ("Teenage Love"), the consequences of law breaking ("Children's Story" and "The Moment I Feared"), and sexual promiscuity ("Indian Girl"). The album also contains non-story tracks such as "Let's Get Crazy" and "Lick The Balls", among others.The Great Adventures would peak within the top thirty of Billboard's "Hot 200", and spawned several hit singles. In late 2018, Ricky D announced that he was re-releasing the album to commemorate it's 30th anniversary in 2019, complete with a behind the scenes booklet, special edition blue vinyl, and clothing. In commemoration, he also dropped a new single: "Snakes of the World Today."Followed up with The Ruler's Back. |

As much of a Broken Aesop it is, the basic message of "Treat Her Like a Prostitute" is to not get too involved with any girl unless you're sure she's worth it, otherwise you're gonna get your heart broken. |

comment |
Sampling: If you tried to count exactly how many times "Children's Story" was sampled by other artists on your own, your head would spin. Currently, the number is roughly over five hundred. "The Moment I Feared" samples "Funky Drummer" by James Brown. In turn, the song was sampled in "Outta Here" by KRS-One from "Return Of The Boom Bap" and "She Said It Was Great" by Ed O.G. from "Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto". "Indian Girl - An Adult Story" samples Frances Langford's "I'm In The Mood For Love". "Teacher Teacher" samples "You'll Like It Too" by Funkadelic. "Let's Get Crazy" has has Rick sampling himself, placing a section of "The Show" in the middle of the song. |

Humiliation Conga: From "The Moment I Feared": Rick is beat up at a Boogie Down Productions concert and robbed of his jewellery, despite telling the muggers it was actually fake. After that, he ends up getting seduced by Sarah, his best friend's girlfriend, and actually winds up shooting said best friend after he attacks him when he walked in on them. And then, sometime after this, Rick is busted by cops for several drug charges, and the murder of Sarah, who he killed to get the drugs in the first place. And just as if things couldn't get worse, Rick gets jumped by two inmates in jail, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened next. |

Shout-Out |

comment |
Shout-Out: The Ruler's Back" opens in a parody of Robin Hood, complete with Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: "The Ruler's Back" also mentions Pee Wee Herman. "The Moment I Feared" mentions a concert by Boogie Down Productions in the lyrics. "Indian Girl: An Adult Story" reference the theme song from Davy Crockett - King of the Wild Frontier. During "Mona Lisa" Slick Rick sings a few lines from Nat King Cole's song "Mona Lisa". Also during "Mona Lisa" Slick Rick mentions Mr. T indirectly and also mentions Walter Cronkite. "Mona Lisa" also ends with a sample from "Walk On By" by Dionne Warwick. Nas' cover for Stillmatic is a homage to The Great Adventures, as Rick is one of Nas' biggest influences. Macy Gray later recorded a "Hey Young World Pt 2" on her album The Id, with Slick Rick providing a guest rap. |

Emasculated Cuckold |
| | The Great Adventures of Slick Rick (Music) / int_cc017ca0 |
comment |
Emasculated Cuckold: Oh Lord, where do we start? This is the central trope used in "Treat Her Like a Prostitute". Highlights include: The first guy celebrating his the upcoming birth of his first child with his fiance, only find out that his girlfriend had sex with one of his friends while he was at work. To make this worse, his "friend" drunkenly told him to his face that she initiated it. Damn. Needless to say, the guy was feeling pretty crushed afterwards. The second guy being a traditional example of getting cuckolded: He comes home to witness his wife getting nailed by the mailman. Capped off by this gem of a line: The third verse has a guy getting it on with his wife - who typically doesn't like having sex. Not only does she call her lover by the wrong name ("She says 'I love you, Harold', and your name is Will!"), it turns out she still has a condom inside her from an encounter she had with someone else. Turns out it belonged to Rick himself. In "The Moment I Feared", Rick unwittingly gets seduced by his best friend's girlfriend. The boyfriend catches them and reacts about as well as you'd expect, only to get shot for his troubles. |

Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Hey Young World" is a sincere, low-key song about teaching kids to stay on the right path and respecting themselves and others. Given that the album opened with "Treat Her Like A Prostitute", it can definitely come across as a surprise. |

High-School Sweethearts: Deconstructed in "Teenage Love". It initially starts by playing the trope straight, but after enough time passes, the relationship deteriorates badly, with the implication of the relationship becoming very one-sided. Inevitably, the couple breaks up and Rick tells the listeners "If it's not true love, you shouldn't deal with it." |
