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

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...

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!!

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.

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.

Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh

By far, bar none.
