Has to be Biggie with I Got A Story To Tell. The convo at the end is too funny

"I'm the nigga, you know how we do it
nigga, ransom note style put the scarf around my motherfuckin face,
gagged that bitch up, played the kizzack. Soon this nigga comes up in
the spot, flash the Desert in his face he drops the glass. Looked like
the nigga pissed on his-self or somethin, word to mother! Ahh fuckit
this nigga runs dead to the floor, peels up the carpet, start givin me
mad papers, mad papers. (I told you that bitch was a shiesty bitch cuz!
Word to mother I used to fuck her cousin but you ain't know that! Hahaha.
You wouldn't know that shit. Really though.) I threw all that
motherfuckin money up in the Prada knapsack. Two words, I'm gone!
(No doubt, no doubt... no doubt!) Yo nigga got some lye, y'all got
some lye? "


:laugh:

Big L's "The Heist" is a fav. too..


"Oh, I didn't recognize you with your hat down
Son you ready, we got this whole shit mapped out
I hope you aint scare there's no time for us to back out"
"Yeah, we goin to take the backroute
And pull our gats out and throw our mask on
We ain't leavin till everyone's dead and all the cash gone"
We goin to get our laugh on when we're through
But right now we got a job to do
So let's do it
Hey yo, I stepped to the deskclerk
Put the gat to her dress-shirt
Told her to listen up before she get hurt

Nice to see this thread resurrected.

After putting together than list on page three or whatever, I realised that I really do think story telling is one of the finest aspects of hip-hop.

This thread got me thinking about it in depth, so as a side project to all the shit Im doing at the moment Im writing a serious analysis of story telling in hip-hop - an accurate list, definitions of story telling, the purpose, the history, all the different types and outcomes. I'll probably share some of it with the board when its finished, I say some just because it will be incredibly large, I've written 5000 already and barely got started.. and I know I dont like wading through extra long posts on this site.

Anyway, for anyone else who shares an interest top class stories in hiphop, that list is just an introduction.
