He's one of the best storytellers in Hip-Hop. This is why I love 80s'-90's cause they motherf*cker got heart to it and putting their souls on the damn song cause they love it moterf*cker. You don't see that shyt in nowadays motherf*cker they just do it for $$$ or the boss told them to do it.
Anyway here the story about Slick Ross for what he did in the studio.

DJ Clark Kent:“He was like, ‘You think you could **** with ‘Funky President’? So I made the drums play a certain way so you could still hear the [riff] in ‘Funky President.’ But I also made it so you could take it out. I took each stab, and added the stabs to just the drum beats. He was like, ‘I don’t even know how you separated that shyt, but you’re dope.’ And from that day, I was dope.
“Then, he was like, ‘I want to hear some bass line shyt, and I want it to be jumpy. I don’t want it to be hard.’ So I played the shyt on the SP-1200. And you could see him coming up with the music while it’s coming together.
“He’s sitting there humming, and I’m like, ‘What are you doing?’ He’s like, ‘I’m coming up with a hook, give me a second.’ Then he went in the booth and went, ‘Ooooh, why, why, why, why.’ And he’s like, ‘I’m gonna do that for the whole song.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ So now it’s in there for the whole song. And it’s not even like I sampled it. It’s him going all the way down the track. Then he does his verses.
“I remember Mariah Carey heard that song, and she was blown away. She loved it. She thought Slick Rick was the greatest.”
