Audio: Storytime!

"Six shots into his kin, out of the gun
Niggaz be a father, you killin your sons"

Not every emcee could deliver a story with such vivid detail... with such great structure... with such an appealing format. The picture portrayed was brought together brilliantly from the introduction to the message that was delivered at the end.

Hook? Nahhh... No hook needed mind you.

It would have been hard for a common emcee to even deliver this story straightforward, but to twist it in such a way in order to keep the listener's attention captivated... wow. This is why he is one of the greats. This is why he is a legend among legends. Oh, and big shouts to Just Blaze on the production. A story this fascinating could only be matched by a beat of epic proportion, which is no wonder why this beat is probably one of my favorites of all time. Honestly, this song alone ends a lot of careers. Without further a due, I present to you one of the best story tracks in hip-hop. Even if you've heard this song, which I'm sure a lot of you have, click the link + zone the fuuuuuuuuck out.
