Hip-hop pioneer Slick Rick released his long-anticipated, long-delayed comeback album, "The Art of Storytelling," on Tuesday.
The rapper's first album, "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick," is revered as a hip-hop classic, but by the time his second album came out in 1991, he was incarcerated for shooting his cousin after a dispute. A third album was released in 1994 while Slick Rick was behind bars, but as the rapper told MTV News, neither record was worthy of following his debut. "This is my real second album," Slick Rick said of "Storytelling." "The Art of Storytelling" includes guest performances by Raekwon, Nas, and Outkast. It also features the reunion of Slick Rick and his original partner, Doug E. Fresh.
