The Reason : MC Ricky D

In many interviews I have done or heard, The same question is asked all the time. What was your influence? What made you start spittin' and making songs? You always hear the generic answers where an emcee wants to prove he is down by law.. (Grandmaster Flash's Dad!) But even though this isn't my first experience with hip hop in any way at all, My first real "got you open" moment with hip hop started with Slick Rick the Ruler. I loved all the shit before him and all..But once I got put on to this artist, that was it. I knew that these patterns and thoughts of mine had to be put to use. Remember writing out a song's lyrics to memorize them? That was me. Or putting ONE song on a tape as many times until the tape was done? That was me too. I could sit and list a bunch of songs but instead I will share this with you. One of his best works for so many reasons. I guess this is what made About 2 Change what it was. Thanks Mr.Walters.
