Yes yes yes! The day has arrived!. Record Store Day 2017 is here. Today is the the that you (the fan of music) go out and support your local mom and pop record shops no matter what kind of music you enjoy. Every year I search for different Hip Hop collectibles to add to my existing collection when I came across the Holy Grail of Hip Hop collectibles. No! I’m not talking about Ghostface Killah‘s bird bracelet, Freeway‘s beard, Flavor Flav‘s clock or Slick Rick’s eye patch. I’m talking about the book Slick Rick read during his classic son, Children’s Story. You know how it goes:
(High pitch voice)Uncle Ricky, could you read us a bedtime story?
Please, huh, please?
Alright, you kids get to bed, I’ll get the storybook
Y’all tucked in?
Well the great folks at Get On Down have released a collectible book with Slick Rick’s classic tale. According to Get On Down, “It’s an 18-page, puffy-cover children’s book with illustrations detailing Rick’s classic cops-and-robbers story single from 1988”.
I think it’s safe to say that I will be copping this. This is must for any fan of the culture. Check out your local record store and you might get lucky.
Stay Healthy!
