It's all about Will Smith's theme song to FRESH PRINCE. Now that was some ill shit :laugh:

I have to mention Pac's "Teardrops & Closed Caskets" and Nas's "Rewind" and Eazy-E's "Nobody Move" and Jay-Z's "Soon You'll Understand"

Remember, these are some of my FAVORITES, not necessarily what I think are the best storytelling songs of all time.

[Scoobyffc]

Children's Story is great
Nas and I.T. has some dope ones like rewind and Dance with the devil

Its crazy, and it came from a 20 years old mind.

immortal techniques dance with the devil is lyricaly one of my fav tracks ever. the way he discribes shit in the story n tells it is on a diferent level to all rappers. teh story is not bad either.
n the way he finished:
"so when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
because the dance with the devil might last you forever"

 

[1984]

Is immortal tech's dance with the devil based on a true story in his life? Cause it was really fucked up but yet sad.

 

[gerrycurl21]

/\ i dont think so, people wondered the same w/ You Never Know


also another I.T song i liked was Peruvian Cocaine, where each verse is a different person within drug trade (slave,overseas drug lord,person who imports, dealer)

somebody's got to die - B.I.G.


there are quite a few more, but those off the top
