I’m really shocked they didn’t put “my mind’s playing tricks on me” by Geto Boys. That is literally one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time and also ahead of it’s time when it comes to painting a vivid picture of Drug Addiction and Mental illness
"How Will I Make It" is a beautiful track that showed how incredible he was even with a more serious tone. I listen to it, and it depresses me because it proves he had so much more to offer
When Ghost mentioned Nas “I gave you power” definitely one of the best storytelling songs ever right next to biggies Gimme the loot in my opinion. Great episode.
Ghostfaces All That I Got Is You, on Iron Man never fails to make me shed a tear. “ Sometimes I look up at the stars and analyze the sky And ask myself was I meant to be here, why?”
Biggie's Sky The Limit is my favorite of all time....that shit had an introduction (1st verse), a body(2nd verse) and a conclusion (3rd verse). Biggie was brilliant AF 🔥 🔥
Somebody's got to die always sticks out to me too. Every time he says "turned around holding his daughter" u can completely imagine the shock of the shooter. Obviously "I got a story to tell" is forever up there
I Gave You Power not being in there is blasphemy. Scarface not having one joint in there is ridiculous. He‘s undeniably a top 5 storyteller in HipHop history
That Ghostface “Impossible” verse is a movie! It’s amazing how his verse overtook the song and made you forget all the fire you just heard and experience this story that includes as much detail as a novel or a movie.
im not even finished but i feel like Rewind gotta be the best. he literally told that story VIVIDLY and did it backwords. that was genius level storytelling
I didn’t like it. Felt nothing original but a whole lot of ‘he turn left then turn right the turn left’ .... it’s for those lower in consciousness and intelligence.

So many songs could’ve been on here : Ice - T - 6 In The Morning KRS - 1 - Love’s Gonna Get’cha Special Ed - The Mission Gets Boys - Scarface Ice Cube - Once Upon a Time in the Projects Just to name a few.
So glad they included "Renee", I was about to write that it should be included and then they mentioned it. Classic! Story to Tell and Rewind are amazing too.
RA The Rugged Man’s verse on Uncommon Valor should be on here, that was verse of the decade Honourable mentions Royce - Tabernacle immortal technique - dance with the devil scarface - suicide note brother ali - Faheem Cage - subtle art of a break up song CasisDead - Simon (for anyone who’s into British rap)
Ghost said it was the beat like 8 times before then B Dot still asked “is it the beat that inspires you”…. BRUH stop reading the cards and ask real questions lol
Some of my favourites: Mona Lisa -Lil Wayne ft Kendrick Lamar Duckworth -Kendrick Lamar I gave you power -Nas Friend or Foe -Jay Z Dance with the devil -Immortal Technique Sing about me -Kendrick Lamar Brenda's got a baby -2pac Homecoming -Kanye West and I'm probably forgetting some.
Duckworth is my favorite right now but I need to study up on all this other music before I declare it my personal number one. I have a LOT to study up on. I was born in 92 so a lot of this stuff came out when I was in preschool.
Nas Storytelling is different. And to me Rewind might be the most Genius, but I Gave You Power is beyond genius and Blaze A 50 and One Love and Shootouts. Nas has many
When I first heard Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Ghost was the one I was drawn to right away. I like how he had his face covered in the video. I just like how he attacks the mic plus he has a lot of soul in his songs. Shakey Dog is my joint
Damned shame that Immortal Technique wasn’t on the original list. Dance with the Devil and You Never Know are two of the greatest stories ever told in hip-hop.
@@joshuaj812 Immortal Technique is definitely one the more slept on mcs out of Harlem. If you get a chance check out Revolutionary Vol. 2. Incredible lyricism and storytelling.
Eric B & Rakim - "What's On Your Mind" and KRS One - "Love's Gonna Getcha" 2 major story telling songs that I didn't see anyone mention or give love too.
Wow how could I forget Kirk Jones , start to finish that whole album is a movie . Never been done Kdot came close with good kid but he used skits to blend the whole story whereas Sticky’s songs actually followed a story
B.I.G.'s "somebody's got to die" and "niggas bleed" were 2 of the best rap stories ever. That was some motion picture shit. Listening to those songs is like watching a movie. BIG painted a picture with those lyrics and it so easy to follow.

Impossible is one of the deepest best cuts by Wu-Tang Clan, ever made in my opinion. Props to ghost for knowing that at the same time because I know he does. And at the same time giving it up to the other artist. Only the best artist with a humble mind and a healthy mind and soul and body would do that. Impossible was easily the best thing on here. And I love most of it.
Fun fact, Nas said in some interview that Rewind was one of the fastest records he wrote. Idk, it might be on drink champs or something but i'm 100% sure I've heard him say it.
True rap fans know K-Rino is the greatest storyteller Don't ignore this comment and start of with these songs K-Rino 1. Flashbackwards 2. The Maven 3. Two sides of the story 4. Amnesia 5. Solitary Confinement
These are some of my picks. 1. Kool G Rap "On The Run" preferably the remix. 2. Conway "The Cow" 3. Nas "I Gave You Power" 4. Jay Electronica "Exhibit C" 5. Notorious B.I.G "Warning" 6. Common "I Used To Love Her"
FYI: Nas in an interview said he wrote Rewind in the studio in one session! Wow! Stan was inspired by Nas’s One Love. The open letters to his people in jail was one of the greatest story concepts ever
Nas one of the best storytellers in rap period if not the best. I mean the illmatic album alone but through out his career. Songs like One Love, 2nd Childhood, Rewind are some good examples. But the most underrated storyteller to me is Masta Ace.
I would say “still dreaming” off hip hop is dead is the best storytelling track, I remember someone breaking down who killed it back then in detail that song went over a lot of peoples heads but it don’t really got replay value like that
Rewind is the first track I ever heard that had me genuine amazed. Nas did something new with that. Game did his own version recently, but nobody has ever delivered it as brilliantly as God’s Son. Nas 🐐
True, 16 on death row, better dayz, shorty wanna be a thug, Brenda got a baby, mama just a little girl, dopefiend diner, tear drop and closed caskets...PAC storytelling is really underrated...
@@fideletamo4292 violent, resist the temptation, young black male, trapped, words of wisdom(a underrated lyrical song), and one of my fav songs of his part time mutha is the ultimate story telling song
The fact Immortal Tehcnique wasn't even mentioned boggles my mind. I'm not even an underground cat like that but, Dance With The Devil was one of the rawest, most vivid, chilling stories ever told on a beat, you can't deny that.
Ice Cube's "Ghetto Vet" is a beast track. Should definitely have been a consideration. It's crazy. And the beat is HEAVY. Canibus - No Return. Onyx - Veronica.
Ghost is my favorite outta wu And I definitely agree rewind is the illest shit ever Son tells the story in reverse I was down Houston in college smh That was a great time for music Fab, Kiss Hov, Nas, Killa all dropped that year ridiculous
It's cool how much love every single Wu member gives Nas.

The song "Who Killed It".

Lost Boyz got joints and not just singles, they got fire albums!
Summertime, Renae
Fun fact, Nas said in some interview that Rewind was one of the fastest records he wrote. Idk, it might be on drink champs or something but i'm 100% sure I've heard him say it.
PEOPLE BE FORGETTING ABOUT “Nobody Believes Me by Styles P” CLASSICCC
Facts!
PLEASE do more of these. Fascinating concept.
I would say Ghostface's own song Run with Jadakiss.
Kendrick - Sing About Me
Nas - Daughters
Kendrick - Opposites Attract
Some of my favs 💯
opposite attracts 🔥🔥🔥🔥
All Fire! 🔥🔥
Ghost's verse on "Impossible" is my favorite story. Also the first-person imagery from Nas in the first verse of "NY State of Mind"
True rap fans know K-Rino is the greatest storyteller
Don't ignore this comment and start of with these songs
K-Rino
1. Flashbackwards
2. The Maven
3. Two sides of the story
4. Amnesia
5. Solitary Confinement
Ghost's persona is so chilled out laid back ❤❤😍😍😍
These are some of my picks.
1. Kool G Rap "On The Run" preferably the remix.
2. Conway "The Cow"
3. Nas "I Gave You Power"
4. Jay Electronica "Exhibit C"
5. Notorious B.I.G "Warning"
6. Common "I Used To Love Her"
FINALLY A G RAP MENTION!! BUT THUG LOVE STORY IS HIS GREATEST STORYTELLING RECORD EVER NOT EVEN CLOSE
Jay electronica best stories are Closer encounters, dmt, those 2 are sci fi raps and The song he made about columbine i forgot the name...
Ghost still fine as ever to me been lovin him since 94' I was 14 😁❤❤❤❤ Starky love hun Zaaaaaddy 😍😍 lazer beam voice wallabee champ😘
FYI: Nas in an interview said he wrote Rewind in the studio in one session! Wow!
Stan was inspired by Nas’s One Love. The open letters to his people in jail was one of the greatest story concepts ever
Pacs verse on "Still I Rise", "Pain", Nas on "Remember The Times", Scarface on "Now I Feel Ya", need to be on this list!!!
Edit: Nas "Surviving the Times"
Honestly they should have Ghost back to just rate storytelling songs by artist. Have him critique nas.. then another time critique scarface etc
Tupac tear drops and close caskets
Nas one of the best storytellers in rap period if not the best. I mean the illmatic album alone but through out his career. Songs like One Love, 2nd Childhood, Rewind are some good examples. But the most underrated storyteller to me is Masta Ace.
The Masta Ace song "People In My Hood" is awesome story telling. Peep that one.
Yeah man, Masta Ace is the truth. Slept on him for decades before I knew what's up.
7:52 - “the funny part when bolegged Keke jumped on’em” 😂 Maxine
I completely agree every song even old songs ahould have a video even if it is made 25 years after the release.
Pac "me and my girlfriend". Should of been on there
Scarface and 3000 can tell a helluva story. Tip “I still love ya”, was one track I love also.
Playing a clip of each track was all this was missing...
"Rewind" and "Today was a good day" are certified classics, but we have to mention "Miss My Love" by Fabolous from his "Loso's Way" album.
KRS-ONE “Loves Gonna Getcha” 🔥🔥🔥 if never heard make it your business!!
I don't think Ghost knew Kendricks or King Von's songs he just chose one lol. Nas's song "Who Killed It" is another good story.
That’s what I was thinking too lol
I hated that song. Weird voice!
@@b.miller5087 Nas was mimicking those old mystery story tellers from back in the day but flipped it.
No real lyricist or real hip hop head is listening to King Von.
I would say “still dreaming” off hip hop is dead is the best storytelling track, I remember someone breaking down who killed it back then in detail that song went over a lot of peoples heads but it don’t really got replay value like that
Kendrick Sing About Me is probably the best one I’ve ever heard. It Was a good Day is right up there too. Lil Wayne’s Mona Lisa was fire as well
Lil Wayne? Man stop
@@HipHop226 Eminem himself said that might be the best story telling song he’s ever heard
@@HipHop226 L
The fact that da art of storytelling isn't on here is a spit in the face to hip hop
One my fav Pac verse's, Still i Rise title track
Somebody wake me, I'm dreamin
Nas “Rewind”
Big L “ The Heist”
Biggie “I got a story to tell”
Biggie Niggaz Bleed is my favorite song that was bs He went with Nas
Immortal technique- Dance with the devil?
KRS-ONE “Loves gonna getcha”
@@RecoverLA was about to type that
@@RecoverLA yoooo!
Rewind is the first track I ever heard that had me genuine amazed. Nas did something new with that. Game did his own version recently, but nobody has ever delivered it as brilliantly as God’s Son. Nas 🐐
“Sometimes I look at the stars and analyse the sky and wonder was I meant to be here why”
PAC a slept on storyteller! Jcole said he learned how to tell stories from pac and nas
True, 16 on death row, better dayz, shorty wanna be a thug, Brenda got a baby, mama just a little girl, dopefiend diner, tear drop and closed caskets...PAC storytelling is really underrated...
@@fideletamo4292 violent, resist the temptation, young black male, trapped, words of wisdom(a underrated lyrical song), and one of my fav songs of his part time mutha is the ultimate story telling song
Don't forget souljas story!
Both great story tellers but pac was inspired to write me and my girlfriend after he heard got a story to tell I believe that’s how the story goes
Tear drops & closed caskets also
The fact Immortal Tehcnique wasn't even mentioned boggles my mind. I'm not even an underground cat like that but, Dance With The Devil was one of the rawest, most vivid, chilling stories ever told on a beat, you can't deny that.
Oh my god, how this didn’t come up is crazy.
Lit🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That songs cringe bro.
Undeniable classic
For real!! Glad I found this comment before I wasted my time watching this fraudulent video 😅
Stan vs Children's Story should have been the final! Crazy having them both in round 1.
I think ghost is the most vivid story Teller
Immortal Technique’s Dance with the Devil needs an honorable mention
That joint deserves a win!
You not wrong bro jeeez I forgot about this song
No 🧢
I said the same thing or the joint with Jean grey
That shit was lame real talk slow af
Ghostface - The Forest 🌳 should’ve been on this. With a dope Alchemist beat and Ghostface rapping about all the story book and cartoon characters 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That song was/still is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My top 5 favorites by Ghostface!!! Wish he would have shot a video to "The Forest" too. That's woulda been Hella Dope!
Though not has good as the forest, don't forget skunk fu either.
@@antfrancis9941 Skunk Fu? By Ghost?
Lit🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ice Cube's "Ghetto Vet" is a beast track. Should definitely have been a consideration. It's crazy. And the beat is HEAVY.
Canibus - No Return.
Onyx - Veronica.
50 Cent Ghetto Qu'ran the Anthem Of Queens, One Of The Greatest Storytelling Songs Ever, and A Baltimore Love Thing too
Ghost is my favorite outta wu
And I definitely agree rewind is the illest shit ever
Son tells the story in reverse I was down Houston in college smh
That was a great time for music
Fab, Kiss Hov, Nas, Killa all dropped that year ridiculous
