Slick Rick brought his string of hip-hop hits and 300 gold chains to Houston’s Warehouse Live last night. A source of electrifying energy and inspiration, the 42-year old Rick treated the crowd of mostly hip-hop hippies^{© Rae} to golden oldies like “Mona Lisa,” “Hey Young World,” and “Children’s Story.”

Willie D (of the Geto Boys) was in the audience, as was Bun B. To his credit, Bun shows up at 4 out of every 5 hip-hop concerts in H-Town. Dude is a true hometown hero.

Check out some exclusive pics from the concert after the jump.

Party people in the place to be…

Percee P opened for Slick Rick. His latest album is produced entirely by Mad Lib

This chick was feeling Percee P’s lung-collapsing lyrics a little too much

This shirt says it all

Ricky D: “Fellas say ‘Lick the balls’…Say ‘Lick the balls’ ”

Slick gave a stunning rendition of “Children’s Story” and the kids loved it

Sorry, his jewelry is so gaudy
