    Story To Tell
    This shouldn't be close

    Today Was A Good Day was a cool song, but I Got A Story To Tell is a GOAT storytelling song. He tells the same story twice.

    Story To Tell
    TWAGD is in my top 10, but STT is top 3. Then when you add the fact that its a true story, just makes it that much better.

    I gotta rock with Cube on this one, I like stories that take you on a 'day in the life' starting in the morning till the end of the day...

    I love 'Story to tell' but the first verse is forgettable, the song doesn't really get great until 1.30-ish mark...

    Yeah but cube mom made good breakfast, cops didnt even harass him, he got the ? from a girl he liked in high school, the blimpe said he was a ? ....

    And to top it off, in a pick up basketball game going to 11 points. He some how had 10 of those 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. I have no idea how that possible, but he did it. Plz he did it while wearing sweatshirt and jeans. have you ever tried to play hoop at the park with a sweatshirt and jeans? Its impossible

    I think you just sold it to anyone not sure which one to vote for lol

    Glad Stan rightfully advanced. I was gonna have to bail on this tournament if different biases forced that song out in the 1st round. Honestly, it should make it to the final 4, but we shall see.

    Rather it's this version or the 'Car Wash' remix, this song and story is legendary. Once Upon A Time In The Projects is a great story also.

    I hope the swaying stay to a minimum in this one cause once Eminem got in real trouble in that other thread ? started cappin like a muhphucka for Slim, its like a shadyteam committee came in n ? just to save his ass


    Anyways....,lord knows i love some Ice Cube catalog and this dont mean Ice Cube aint an alltime great and this dont mean Pac didn't tear Big apart either but i gotta go wit Story to tell. Just the way it was told and made it seem like we just some of the homeboys gathered around.

I played ball with steph marbury, felipe lopez, wally szerbiack, ? shammgod, and ron artest. Never seen any of them wear sweatshirt and jeans. Although artest played in church shoes at times

    I never really thought of murder was the case as a story. I guess it is, but I didn't think of it as one like these others
