Was listening to Nas' Blaze a 50 & got me thinking of some of my own...

Eminem: Stan
Nas: Undying Love, Rewind & Blaze a 50
Jay: Meet the parents, You Must Love Me, Soon You'll Understand
Lupe: The whole Cool story (He say she say, the cool, the coolest, put you on game, the die).
Biggie: Somebody's Gotta Die

so now I have to say D'Evils by Jay-Z I'm boarderlining a story telling song and non story telling song
 
Eminem- Stan
Nas- Rewind, One Love

But hands-down, the best/most moving song i've ever heard in story-form in rap is....

Immortal Technique - Dances with the Devil

That song seriously creeps me out.
 
Eminem - Stan, Kim, 97 Bonnie and Clyde
Immortal Tech. - Dance With The Devil, You Never Know
Joe Budden - Three Sides To A Story
Nas - Shoot Em Up (Its kinda like a story)
 
Good call with Dance with the devil... Forgot to add that one to my list.

I remember hearing that song for the 1st time years back & just having the most stunned look on my face.

Not really a story(i.e. having a plot and characters)... More or less Jay describing chasing financial success through the dope game
 
long song...but i feel like i've gotta post again...defining moment in music history and a song that cemented Dylan as one of the greats...a white manstanding up for the rights of a black man in a time of a hate knowing damn well it could ruin his reputation...long song, but
