View Full Version : Greatest story teller
in hip hop, thee's been sum good storyteller's ( slick rick, pac, eminem, jay-z, nas) but i gotta say i feel the best story tellers where big L & biggie , but i think biggie was better cuz the way he recited and put together his shit was ill, i think only eminem could fuck wit his style
NinjaMic 03-26-2003, 10:35 PM Nas, easily... there's really not much that compares to Undying Love alone. What makes him the best, is not only his nearly unparralleled skill of description and dialogue, but the way his flow and delivery, as well as his calm, pensive voice has a visual narrative effect to it.
Some of the best tracks for storytelling IMO... or just examples for certain artists...
Nas "Undying Love", "Rewind", "The Set Up", "Shoot Outs", "Suspect" verse 1, "Fetus", "Poppa Was a Player"
Eminem "Kim", "Stan", "'97 Bonnie & Clyde", "Guilty Conscience", "As the World Turns", "Murder Murder", "My Fault"
RZA "Tearz" verse 1, Domestic Violence, What You In Fo' (heh), Freak the Sorcoress
Ghostface Killah "Impossible" verse 3, "Camay", "Impossible" verse 3
Inspectah Deck "Word on the Streets"
Wu-Syndicates "Where Was Heaven"
The Coup "Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Grenada Last Night"
2 Pac "Shorty Wanna Be a Thug"
Method Man "Cereal Killa"... laughable content, but dope execution
I've just never felt Biggie's style enough to dig his story's...
Phaze 03-30-2003, 02:44 PM yo Theres no Competition its Biggie and Slick Rick.0.....seriously peep this song The Art of Storytelling by Slick Rick and Outkast but eminem will NEVER touch biggie or Pac
P . A . T 03-30-2003, 06:46 PM i definetly think the best story tellin is
still Slick Rick.. hes mad funny at times
2.. he got my vote..
flight 03-31-2003, 07:05 AM NAS & Pac
NaS, then Pac and Big.
But NaS can tell a story about anything. How bout that song bout the machine gun, and also "rewind". There's no competition. POINT BLANK!!
Killa 4tz 03-31-2003, 05:27 PM well, sorry boys, pac is the greatest of all time....he writes with his emotions....e.g changes, life goes on etc.
Biggie i never really liked...
Eminem, hes great too, his best song was as the world turns- well that is one of his best definitely.
Phaze 04-01-2003, 06:39 PM yeah i fell yall biggie is still the hottest....

-Evey- 04-17-2003, 01:11 PM NAS IS BY FAR THE BEST
foul_play 04-27-2003, 08:21 AM i guess its gotta be eminem but he disses his poor mom too much
Tupac 04-27-2003, 12:14 PM biggie and nas...
Archaic 04-27-2003, 12:36 PM SLICK RICK...NUFF!
[::2-upZ::] 04-28-2003, 07:54 AM Big L - casualties of a dice game
Eminem - Kim
Nas - Rewind
Biggie - Warning
Those are my four top imagery tracks, Pac had more emotion than all of 'em except maybe Em on Kim but he isn't very descriptive, he was real, but his wordplay and imagery was average. Big L and Biggie probably be a tie for the best at it tho.
Humanfly 04-29-2003, 08:02 PM Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh
By far, bar none.
Ceezar 05-11-2003, 02:49 PM Nas is by far the best story teller, the song Shoot em Up. Then Pac, i unno whos next. But those 2 are the best.
k_dogg777 05-11-2003, 09:19 PM eminem the most
