The Great Adventures of Slick Rick is the debut album by hip hop performer Slick Rick, released in 1988, three years after releasing his famous song with beatboxer Doug E. Fresh, "La Di Da Di". While Slick Rick's distinctive delivery and humorous tone earned him many fans, making this album one of the most popular albums from the golden age of East Coast rap, his vulgarity and touching on issues of misogyny (such as on "Treat Her Like a Prostitute") also earned him many detractors.

It topped Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and peaked at #31 on the Billboard 200. The song "Children's Story" is also featured in the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas. In 2008, the single "Children's Story" was ranked number 61 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.
