A Children's Story
I Got A Story To Tell
Rewind -
R.A. spittin a true story about his Pops getting infected by Agent Orange in the Vietnam War.
"R.A. the Rugged Man's verse recounts the war experience of his father, highly decorated war hero Staff Sgt. John A. Thorburn, who was nearly killed in a crash near Cambodia after his helicopter's pilot was hit. He reaches a moment of clarity while in the hospital, but after being sent home, he discovers he has been exposed to Agent Orange, leaving two of his children severely mentally and physically handicapped. His son Maxx died at the age of 10 - his daughter Dee-ann at the age of 27."

Public enemy- Black steel in the hour of chaos(my favorite)
Joe budden- 3 sides to a story
Nas- undying love
Ghostface- shakey dog
Lupe fiasco- and he gets the girl(maybe corny to some but a good lesson on not to pre judge people)
Tupac- Violent
Raekwon and ghost- Heaven and hell

Ghost and Rae, the Hilton...
http://youtu.be/ETEnXCnXWOo
This ? just bought eleven machine guns
And he brought them in my crib
Glittered out, stout face, teck, Rae up in the Hilton
Heard Nia Long is in the building
Penthouse fashion, ordered out room service
It looked bugged 'cause the waiter looked nervous
Lift off the lid, seen two shiny thirty-eights aimed at the kid
What I do, duck, Rae up in the shower singing
Son don't know that it's real
Coming looking like he about peel something
In a tight jam, red down, matching like Santa
If I could just reach my hammer
He bust two shots, I played mice
Ran to the spot were the sun was at
Quickly he was blinded by the ice
That's when Rae ran out of the back
Towel on, soap on his arms, spit duke around, fell on my lap
Yo, what the ? happened?
It was a set up to get wet up
Starks your bleeding
Nah, his blood ? my white leather up
Ten G's down the drain
Yo hurry up, we got to get him up
Get the sheets son, let's fix him up
Lock the door, turn the TV off, your kicks is near the light switch
Just give me two minutes to iron my shirt, find my ices
The hit came quick
Hit the jack, star six
Ghost
Put down the phone stupid
Wipe off your prints
Rae ran hysterically, slipped on soap
Landed on his back, with his gat, now that's dope
We got three minutes, nobody seen ?
Somebody might have heard ?
Singing on some Martin, were my momma bird ?
? your socks, that's when we heard the door knock
Everything all right? Partying son, balloons popped
Threw this dude under the bed
A half dressed Raekwon, swallowing diamonds
Had money in juice up on his wedding day
The phone rang off, the tea kettle blew, wifey hitting me
What you want sweaty, lima beans and kidney
Trashed the beeper, slowly I reached for the ?
Throw a Costa, peep, oh son the house keeper
Soap suds dripping from his nuts, cut up gut
Praying how me make it out the telly and touch
? it, a Wesley Snipes movement on a Sunday in Bermuda
We laptop ? , thugs in a computer
Caught up in the grimy ?
Finding two days later a murder and we got to make this flight ?
It was a Wesley Snipes movement on a Sunday in Bermuda
We laptop ? , thugs in a computer
A Wesley Snipes movement on a Sunday in Bermuda
We laptop ? , thugs in a computer
Ayo, the pressures on, sonny got murk, it's time to move fast
Ayo, Deini it's on, check out the news flash
Flew out the next day, back to the Tony estates
Blew on the first class flight to L.A.
It ain't take long, I pulled a few strings on the horn
So were it came from?
That ? we stuck and took the caine from
We should have killed him when we had him
Yo I was holding a Magnum
Yeah we bagged him, but we let him slide in the wagon
His bad little brown ? , from out Chicago
She move his cargo, good at handling Roscoes
We had our eyes closed ? , we should have seen it coming
He should have seen me coming, running out the shower gunning
Now that I figured it, she put the waiter on
It all came to me, in back of my mind, just like my favorite song
Dawned on me later on, by then the day was gone
How dare this ? even think that he could take us on
Smoke the Cee Allah
Sent the kite through the Pens
Him and big Dan
Known to split wigs, with razor sharp gems
Giants from Attica riots, halls is quiet
CO's with babies on their arms look tight
And this ? from down state got shipped up north
Stocky young fella, running his lips on how he set it off
Then heard that ? , plus got that kite
Money got murdered in his bunk that night
? it, a Wesley Snipes movement on a Sunday in Bermuda
We laptop ? , thugs in a computer
Caught up in the grimy ?
Finding two days later a murder and we got to make this flight ?
It was a Wesley Snipes movement on a Sunday in Bermuda
We laptop ? , thugs in a computer
A Wesley Snipes movement on a Sunday in Bermuda
We laptop ? , thugs in a computer

This thread brought me back to Ghostface Fishscale. Ghost is the best at this storytelling thing, he deserves the title more than Slick Rick. Look at his recent releases as well!

Most people wouldnt immediately think of this as a story track. But thats what sets this dude apart. Im not a huge fan of stories for the sake of stories, (i.e., just makin some ? up *cough, Lupe*)
W/ Jay z he literally painted a picture. I literally have a mental picture everytime i listen to this song. -
you can fast forward past Guru to get to Scarface.. Face verse so descriptive
