Top 10 story telling rap songs maybe, it's in the discussion
But not hip hop songs in general - hip hop has had way better moments than a fictional story about a deranged fan
I can easily list 10 better storytelling tracks
eminem's wilshire.
Hmm.... List them
Here are 5 each from 4 better artists
Nas:
I Gave You Power
One Love
Rewind
Undying Love
Fetus
Biggie:
I Got a Story to Tell
Warning
Gimme the Loot
Everyday Struggle
Juicy
Kendrick:
Sing About Me
m.A.A.d city
These Walls
How Much a Dollar Cost
DUCKWORTH
Lupe:
Kick Push
He Say She Say
Hurt Me Soul
Hip Hop Saved My Life
The Cool
That's without even getting to Slick Rick, Ghostface, Scarface, DMX, 2Pac, etc who are better as well.
S*** is so ass and aged like milk
Go listen to immortal technique if you wanna listen to angsty storytelling
Its insane, this song was literally the birth of the pop singer hook on a rap track, which became formulaic throughout the 2000's
The thing is this song was authentic, and then it got commoditized
yea
song isn’t a vibe
great lyricism and storytelling but s*** isn’t that enjoyable to listen on repeat
Sure
Don't know about top 10 but easily one of the greatest rap songs of all time

I showed my friend the song and video for the first time the other day. He f***ed w it
I don't even like Eminem but "Stan" and "Lose Yourself" are contenders for top 10 rap songs of all time
Eminem has introduced two new words to hip hop and culture period
"Stan" put a word in the dictionary, it's a top 10 contender, it is what it is
it's a lowkey top 1 contender

That was Nas

Gotta credit Ether for that
Before Ether, Stan was just the name of the guy from Eminem's song.
Nas used it to describe another person
