The 50 Best Storytelling Rap Songs

[Rollie Forbes]

 

[Fresh]

I'm not saying this should be #1 or anything

but one of my favorites is 'I Gave You Power' by Nas

 

[Jerz-2]

Ice Cube's "My Summer Vacation" should be higher.

But no "Rewind" by Nas is unacceptable.

 

[Budda]

Media really don’t fukk with Nas

 

[WaveGang]

No I gave you power?

Complex just gets worse and worse with their shyt

Nas shootouts is by far better story telling

“Frank returned with Pierre, a gun slinger, nikkas hadn’t heard of in years”

 

[Flav]

Slick Rick whole Great Adventures album should have been on that list.

 

[ManBearPig]

Small World by Nas is definitely better than 75% of the songs on that list

 

[MINT]

Stop bumping my old threads, it spams my mail box with notifications

 

[MINT]

Small World by Nas is definitely better than 75% of the songs on that list

Not too bad for the time

 

[Erratic415]

It’s all subjective. My favorite Cube storytelling tracks are Alive on Arrival and You Can’t Fade Me

 

[Bigblackted4]

Unpopular Opinion
Mr Bigs is a better song and story than Armed Robbery

Blaze a 50 is better than Shootouts

 

[Pop123]

Ghetto Quran
50 bars of pleasure

One of them should’ve made it

 

[u mad son?]

Impossible in top 5 made me happy

Common should have been top 5 because every mc and their dog recreated the hip hop being my wife angle.
