known as the greatest (gangsta?) rap song to "tell a story" EVER?

of course! :cool:

it's also the sweetest children's book (http://sweetjunipermeta.blogspot.com/2006/11/horse-named-paul-revere-childrens-book.html) ever made. ;D

if Dre follows through with his plans then not for long (detox = one long ass story instead of random rapping)

[balohna]

Except that isn't likely since, lyrically, 2001 was an absolute turd.

I liked 2001. its a great party album


i think childrens story by slick rick is one of the greatest story raps, why else would montel jordan sample it?

[bigfatlove06]

for a single song my pick is Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos by Public Enemy (serious gangsta). For an album Prince Paul did a rap opera that I was really impressed with... someone will know what I am talking about.

Paul Revere I think is tied with Ice Cube's "Today Was A Good Day" for the number 1 gangsta rap story song ever.

All Beastie Boys bias aside, Paul Revere is a fucking incredible song.

A Prince Among Thieves - great album.

I think some people would take issue, legitimately, with calling Paul Revere a gangster rap record. Seriously though, there is no "greatest gangster rap record to tell a story," just pick your favorite.

dre dropped some of the dopest lines of all time in a few of the tracks on that album, mindblowingly good at times. but yes, overall there's some absolutely brutal lyrics on there by other rappers, see "bitch niggers"
