I really like the songs that kind of tell a story, my 3 favorites right now are always coming back home to you by atmosphere, room with a view by brother ali and it cant happen to you by unknown prophets, anyone know of any more good ones?
 
Like you said, It can happen to you...good song...Also not quite a story but kinda: Car and a Job by Surreal and DJ Balance...
 
a lot of Nas songs, like one mic sorta, shoot em up, i gave you power, and one love. gimme the loot by BIG too
 
red line by typical cats is kind of a story song also i like tread water by de la. definatly always coming back home to you. freedom aint free by brother ali.

Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story by Jedi Mind Tricks

kind of a story song but epic nonetheless...
 
just about to say that. Sickest story song ever. haha and btw its Renee. the lines are just so sick.

"here's a tune about this honey named Renee

That I met one day

On my way back from John Jay

I'm peepin' shorty as she's walking to the train

I tap her on her shoulders

Excuse me Miss, but can I get your name

She said my name is Renee

I said I got a whole lot to say

So may I walk you to your subway"

first verse, and the beats to go with the song are epic
 
get down- nas

and

50,000 deep- blue scholars... a really well written rant on the power of the government and its attack on one of the largest (if not the largest) nonviolent protests in the history of the world... it really makes you think
