could it be too many guest spots, so people dont get a chance to rhyme long enough to tell a tale?

Post by: Ras Kass' Toothpick on February 20, 2004, 03:01:18 PM: I'm looking forward to the new Slick Rick track on the Tony Touch LP. I'm sure it'll be a storytelling song.

It's called "Trouble On the Westside Hwy".

Post by: West Coast Veteran on February 20, 2004, 03:09:08 PM: There are still some good story telling tracks floating around but I agree that it's really rare these days especially a good one.

The last story that made me say DAMN was Jay-Z "Meet The Parents". That was a long time ago.

Post by: davida.b. on February 22, 2004, 05:52:16 PM: Non Phixion have a few story telling rhymes here & there. Check "Black Helicopters". Gang Starr, Talib Kweli, Bubba Sparxxx, Nas, DJ Quik & Fat Joe to. Mac Dre had some dope story telling songs.
Title: Re:Story Telling Rap
Post by: The Ghost When I Zone Off on February 22, 2004, 09:50:40 PM: "Get Down" by Nas, that had some pretty good story telling on it, not alot of other mainstream stuff though.

Title: Re:Story Telling Rap
Post by: The Ghost When I Zone Off on February 23, 2004, 07:26:35 PM: "3-5-4 (tarrantino)" by Sheek was a good story rap, pretty real life type shit, he wasn't braggin about bodyin' people or nothing he admitted he shouldve had a gun on him and all that, tight. Also "Crime Story" by DMX. It had a sick little conga riff in it and the song ends with him blowing up a police station and dying, a little unrealistic but cool anyway.
