The biggest achievement of rap pioneer Slick Rick's life? Owning real estate in the BoogieDown.Slick Rick knows a good thing when he sees it.

On top of running from INS, fighting extradition to his native Britain and getting pardoned by the equally smooth NY Governor Paterson, the Slick one still found time to make a wise investment in Bronx real estate. Rick, you're my hero. Now let's put this bloke in charge of administering the bailout package. He clearly knows what's going on.
