Jedi Mind Tricks feat RA the Rugged man - Uncommon Valour: A vietnam story

Jurassic 5 - Remember his name

Lowkey feat Logic - Relatives

Fort Minor - feel like home

Hilltop Hoods - what the seasons change

Hilltop Hoods - Stopping all stations

Nas - Rewind

Pez - Lost

Respek BA - In Dreams

Royce 5'9 - Death is Certain pt.II

Sage Francis - Runaways

Tech N9ne - The Rain (Factual not fictional, the story of how he struggles to keep in touch with his family now that he's getting some form of celebrity status)

Will Smith - Loretta (true story about a women who stalked him)

A Tribe Called Quest - Phony Rappers

A Tribe Called Quest feat Faith Evans - Stressed Out

a few samples of the ones i've suggested...

...

I have never heard that song by D12 before ... its siick, thanks for posting it. Also siick signature, its a good quote.

if you can find a copy of Biography from Siditious , that is one of my favorite storytelling beats/songs of all time. I am also a big fan of the Immortal Technique Dance W/ the Devil.

haha thanks for that :D

New York State of Mind- Nas
Children's Story- Slick Rick

Beastie Boys "Paul Revere"

Traveling Wilburys "Tweeter and the Monkey Man"

not that it has any relavance, but check out a guy called James McMurtry, he explains hiw story rather well.

Any of Jay Z's stuff for the most part tells a story.

Paul Revere - The Beastie Boys

Personally i think that "You Never Know" was a better song than "Dance with the Devil" but the sickly twisted nature of "Dance..." catapulted it into a certain level of popularity his other tracks haven't attained.

also, November - Sadistik
