can't believe nobody mentioned eminem... stan is one of the goat storytelling tracks and even inspired a slang word.... just about anything off of slim shady lp was an ill storytelling track...

Straight classic:




Pac can hang with the best of 'em in terms of storytelling but he usually doesn't get mentioned much besides Brenda's Got A Baby. This track is still completely unique in terms of delivery:

Nas is the GOAT storyteller:



"Got up with Horse, showed a look on my face was mad lost
I ain't know whether to cry or just, try to laugh it off
"Son you home early -- they wiped you out that quick?"
I said, "Nah," showed him the plastic with nine in the clip"

Too slick how he said that shyt

One of the GOATS greatest songs.

I listen to it all the time...

Lodi dodi is a great track
Wonda why they call you bytch

 

[Rozay Oro]

I think even @Billy Ocean would agree this is a contender

“Rewind” gotta be in the discussion just for it being what it was.

Not in the same realm. but as a diehard comic fan, I manage to bump this every year at least once. "I could see General Buckshot going toe toe with Duke(from GI JOE)
