T.I, B.o.B & Kendrick Lamar's "Memories Back Then" Is the Modern-Day "Art Of Storytelling"

[PhonZhi]

3 rappers each telling an entire story from beginning to end within their 16 bars:



Reminds me of:





Lyricism at its finest

 

[RammerJammer]

Might be the most underrated song of the 2010s, personal favorite of mine

Should've been bigger than it was.

 

[BiggWebb79]

Great song, very underrated.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

That hook was amazing, was stuck in my head for months.

 

[PhonZhi]

B.o.B KILLED this shyt to me

One of my all-time favorite verses

 

[FreshandClean]

That shyt was fire af surprised considering the line up it didn't get that much play on the radio

 

[Tryna Makit]

Hol' Up wait is that you?, With them big ol thighs after school





And your 3 kids and 3 baby daddies
And car note that’s overdue? I know

Kenny Cut deep on that one, Jeez.
Basically described my senior year of HS and the next bout'.....4 years after in just those bars....Damn! indeed

 

[Standing on business]

All 3 murdered

The ending of kendricks verse was


Fast foward, wait is that you?
With those big ol thighs after school?
And your 3 kids and 3 baby daddies
And car note that's overdue?

 

[BK The Great]

this was a dope ass song, it should've been a single

 

[FreshandClean]

this was a dope ass song, it should've been a single

I think it was supposed to be for troubleman but the sample didn't clear fast enough

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

ok i know I'm gonna catch hate for this.
But... nice track, I wish there were more songs like this but it could have been better.

I'm jus saying man, if you gonna storytell why talk about a bytch?
Talk about something deeper, something more philosophical.

Dope song though... used to have this on repeat fo sho

 

[BK The Great]

I think it was supposed to be for troubleman but the sample didn't clear fast enough

damn that's sad, most songs that are cut from albums are better than the ones that make it

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

shyt was mad corny and forced

Kendrick Lamar got way better storytelling songs like Cartoons and Cereals plus many more

This song reminded me of Ludacris Runaway Love with Mary J Blige

 

[JayBaldacci]

Except not nearly as good.

 

[FreshandClean]

This song reminded me of Ludacris Runaway Love with Mary J Blige
