The Art of Storytelling: 10 Great Rap Story Songs
10 - Slick Rick – La Di Da Di
9 - Murs – Walk Like A Man
8 - Saukrates – Vietnam
7 - Ghostface Killah - The Hilton f. Raekwon
6 - Brother Ali – Dorian
5 - Immortal Technique – Dance With The Devil
4 - Vakill - Fallen
3 - Jay-Z – Friend Or Foe
2 - Eminem – Stan
1 - Biz Markie - Vapors
pretty generic fucking list to be honest. if we're talking la di da di, dance with the devil and stan, how in the fuck was gimme the loot/warning/suicidal thoughts not included? one love/rewind/fetus/undying love? half of kool g rap's catalogue? it was a good day???? 1/4 of outkast's catalogue? this is completely ignoring the entire discographies of common, the roots, mos def, and tu fuggin pac.
whatever. i dont even know what i'm so mad about.

^ i dont know either why you mad, but what i know is that youre right!!
id put Vapors and La di da di up there though... dont know about the rest, so many great storytelling joints to pick from...
But really, #1 to me is without a doubt (plus a contender for dopest song title ever...) :
STREET CORNER, by MANO
where the fuck is uncommon valor?
vinnie paz' verse removes that song from goat statusOriginally Posted by WooHa
wow, prolly my favourite song of all time, never looked @ it as storytelling though, but it is, not obviously though.
my favorite storytellers r gza nas and kool g. they had none of those on that list. lol at mentioning ghostface and not mentioning impossible. wtf impossible imo should b number 1.
and seriously this story is way 2 underrated.
how come no one mentions it.
NON-IGS
Your picks are just as, if not more, generic than the list tbf. This is very far from the list I would've chosen, but I wouldn't call it generic.
Word to Me & Jesus.., I would also have Killah Priest's Deja Vu and Illogic - First Trimester which might just be the most slept on storytelling joint ever imho...
actually it's good
that was my point. if they're gonna include some of those more generic cuts it a shame they dont have the other heavy-hitters.
the dude wasn't trying to make the ultimate top 10 list. he said so in the beginning. if that was the case, Children's Story and Shakey Dog would probably be #1 and #2
