"Rewind or Undying Love"

[Big Mel]

The gangsta rap genre provided lots of great stories. Stories actually drove that genre.

Nor yours. The songs I'm submitting are hailed as great though.

and there's a BUNCH of other shyt that's hailed as great that u think is wack...so get off ur own sack g...

 

[Big Mel]

dmx has also...the fukk is ur point?..cause one person tells a great story the other one can't?..or cause ur interested in other stories the stories that u arent interested in arent good?..that's stupid ass logic...same way I could not be into shyt like lord of the rings or none of that shyt..but that doesnt mean they arent great at what their tryna achieve...get ya head outta ya ass fam...

Nas isn't a great storyteller. He doesn't have a classic story. He has well written ones.

 

[JayBaldacci]

Is Elzhis 'talking in my sleep' a great story?

thats a dope track, why?

Like what? Meet the parents?

 

[Big Mel]

thats a dope track, why?

But is it a great story? Do you remember it scene for scene or is it just incredibly stylized writing?

 

[spliz]

I remember EVERY scene in a bunch of Nas songs that u said wasn't great stories..so what the fukk does that have to do with it?..that's all on how much u read/listen/watch something...

 

[Big Mel]

Is Lupes cheeseburger rap a great story?

 

[JayBaldacci]

Nas isn't a great storyteller. He doesn't have a classic story. He has well written ones.

dog..u not provin nothin...I remember lyrics to songs I can't stand from hearing them too much...and whether or not im interested in Lupe's story or not it doesnt deny the fact hes a good storyteller..

 

[JayBaldacci]

But is it a great story? Do you remember it scene for scene or is it just incredibly stylized writing?

i don't remember a lot of great movies scene for scene, so what?


nas' storytelling is superior to a lot of the rappers you're throwing out there, save biggie.

 

[Big Mel]

I said great, though.

 

[spliz]

please describe classic stories. lol

thats his strength imo.

he fukkin can't...only thing he can do is describe what HE likes in a story...I mean think about it..as DOPE as I Got a Story To Tell is...all it's about is him creepin wit a bytch who got a man..him findin out and having to rob him...it's the WAY he brought the story across that was great...but how is that a better story than Nas' story on Undying Love?..or Blaze a 50 which plays out like fukkin full movies?...

 

[JayBaldacci]

shootouts is crazy story telling, fetus? undying love/amongst kings?

on top that, just nas' imagery overall. how many rappers can describe how the hoods in ny changed in a quick 16 like nas did in real nikkas... or break down their love for music so vividly like he did on "music for life"

 

[Big Mel]

Nas stories are dry and lack humor. No suspense. Just linear narratives.
