At least some song (rap is no story). Pff my butt, rap is no story? how about "T.R.O.Y"? by Pete Rock and CL Smooth?. He's talking about his childhood and family, i think that's a story, HIS story in fact. Rap/Hip-Hop has lots of stories (at least before 1996, now the major labels are producing a vast amount of crap! like 99.9%.) Yeah uhmm sorry for being off topic...

Pedantic Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I agree with the...ummm...psycho guy. Some rap has a story. Demonstration-- Artist: Tupac Song: Brenda's Got a Baby Story: A girl gets pregnant at age 12. The song describes her struggles with her family who is only worried about collecting welfare checks and the consequences of her and her family's actions.

Elessar-Eärfalas Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 id say that alot of rap songs have messages and meaning to them...for instance, alot of 2 pac songs really tell a story, same with nas.... Nas - Dance is a great song with Nas talking about how his mother passes away...its a great song... btw, 1000'th post, wahoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoCept Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 But the real question is.... Who can understand what they're singing enough to figure out the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyk0Sith Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Depends who's rappin', Chuck D was always a fav of mine...but i guess i'm old school. Blackalicious got some good lyrics too for a "new school" rapper. but gangsta rap is not the same . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfmanNCSU Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I would say most rap, if not all, has a story; just like any song for that matter. There is tons of socialism in each song. Explains life, goals, images, roots, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Originally posted by TheHobGoblin At least some song (rap is no story). *stunned silence* I take it that you havn't gotten that deep into rap. Many rap songs tell life stories or tragic events that really happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyk0Sith Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Yeah leave him alone , sorry dude, it's all my fault.

Also Loose Yourself by Eminem has a good story. I think its about how the rap game has been for Eminem, when he was struggeling to become famous. Hmm, there are many good rap songs with good stories! -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
