Greatest storytellers in no particular order that pop up in my head are definitely Cube & Slick Rick….Scarface, Ghostface, Nas, Biggie and Kool G Rap are masters at storytelling as well
Cube is a better story teller than Slick Rick. Here are 4 songs from Cube to prove my point. 1) You cant fade me 2)Summer Vacation 3) The product 4) Ghetto Vet. Enough said.
Shoutout to Cube for giving props to Schooly D. He was actually with NWA back in the day helping them out with a few tracks. Not writing or anything but just trading ideas and teaching them how to do certain things. The industry don’t like giving Philly too much credit in hip hop props to Cube.
I kept putting off listening to the pod.. much respect to Talib but I've got sooo many podcast I listen to. I finally decided to start with this one. Well worth the wait. Nuff respect due King
