It's cool how much love every single Wu member gives Nas.
“You da 10th ni@@a in the wu tang” - Nas
Nas is like an extended member of the Clan , they All love Nas
He’s the Goat
Nas is an honorary member of Wu.
Nas is the Goat of rap, and the Wu loves Nas
Ghostface is naturally gifted, his voice, style = 100% Hip Hop
Yes
If New York was a person it would be Ghostface
Ghost is from the era of NY I respected and admired
Totally agree, I gotta say though meth and Raekwon also got that natural voice
@@GatherYeRosebudsWhileYeMay that’s the trinity right there…Mef, ghost , Rae
“I seen a man die” by Scarface literally feels like he’s died before and he’s telling us what it’s like.
50 Cent Ghetto Qu'ran the Anthem Of Queens, One Of The Greatest Storytelling Songs Ever, and A Baltimore Love Thing too
th-cam.com/video/VppzprFjK-o/w-d-xo.html.....
Factz I was about to comment on that song but you beat me to it.
BIG L Casualties of a Dice Game though?! I'm glad rewind was up there.
Y’all confusing it. He’s talking about storytelling rappers not just a track.
I’m really shocked they didn’t put “my mind’s playing tricks on me” by Geto Boys. That is literally one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time and also ahead of it’s time when it comes to painting a vivid picture of Drug Addiction and Mental illness
East Coast bias
here's another one nobody ever mentions : Andre Nickatina - Train with no love
50 Cent Ghetto Qu'ran the Anthem Of Queens, One Of The Greatest Storytelling Songs Ever, and A Baltimore Love Thing too

@@reackizback brother is a serious beast. Sad they try to associate him with that corny song mashed with his video.
Da Art of Storytellin got massively overlooked. André's verse is a work of art
Now Susie screw had a partner named sashaaa
it’s just NY being biased again
@@1lifestyle112 the south biased as well. Everybody biased.
@@ArtisanWindchimes midwest ain’t biased
It’s the best song there
I Gave You Power not being in there is blasphemy. Scarface not having one joint in there is ridiculous. He‘s undeniably a top 5 storyteller in HipHop history
Gza Killah Hills 10304 too
Gave you power was more of describing the impact of guns
agreed BX Bomber.
Dude who ever made this list dont kno real story telling
Man cry should have definitely been in there
Immortal technique’s “ you never know” and “Dance with the Devil” are amazing examples of storytelling rap
Every time I hear dance with the devil I get chills
Dance with the devil is the greatest story I heard on wax.
Leave immortal technique in the archives lmao
Faaaaax
Facts
Props to Ghost for being humble and not being full of himself just picking his own songs over everyone elses. That's real
When Ghost mentioned Nas “I gave you power” definitely one of the best storytelling songs ever right next to biggies Gimme the loot in my opinion. Great episode.
I played that track for my wife recently and had her read the lyrics so she could see and hear why I rate Nas in my top 5.
@Mango Green I was thinking the same thing….man that track was incredible and creative
Tupac's Brendas Got a Baby Over both
don't forget Bushwick Bill Ever so clear
50 Cent Ghetto Qu'ran the Anthem Of Queens, One Of The Greatest Storytelling Songs Ever, and A Baltimore Love Thing too
Big L has some great storytelling songs too.. The Heist, Casualties of a Dice Game... RIP Big L
W
"How Will I Make It" is a beautiful track that showed how incredible he was even with a more serious tone. I listen to it, and it depresses me because it proves he had so much more to offer
Pound for pound prolly the greatest ever
Facts I literally just said that same thing casualties of a dice game should have been on there 💯💯💯
Rip to a 🐐
Nas ALWAYS paints a vivid and detailed picture
BIG
Not like GFK
Tony bakery gang!
Biggie's Sky The Limit is my favorite of all time....that shit had an introduction (1st verse), a body(2nd verse) and a conclusion (3rd verse). Biggie was brilliant AF 🔥 🔥
Biggie wat the best
The greatest of all of time
Being from the south luv that joint when you think you down and out sky is the limit
Somebody's got to die always sticks out to me too. Every time he says "turned around holding his daughter" u can completely imagine the shock of the shooter. Obviously "I got a story to tell" is forever up there
Notorious B1 big daddy thank me later 😂😅@@andileandymtshemla815
Scarface don’t get no love for his storytelling 🤦🏽♂️
Right he a helluva story teller 💯💯
He is the best sir
The greatest
@Belafonte.... definitely up there... I have nas right next to him
Yeah nas biggie Scarface. Mac from no limit deep too.
im not even finished but i feel like Rewind gotta be the best. he literally told that story VIVIDLY and did it backwords. that was genius level storytelling
That's definitely one of my favorite Nas joints. I was seriously like wtf and how the fuck😂😂
@@psychedelicpikachu3437 deadass bro like how tf did he make a song backwards this nigga is a goat word is bond!
I give my niggas dap jump in the van back first back upstairs took off the black shirt 💯👌🏿
Nobody,nobody can touch Immortal Tech and Dance with the devil
@@naziashunter5598 definitely the goat
Ghost is such a natural soul you feel like you know him like a older cuz or uncle. THE WU IS FOREVER!!!!
Masta Ace is often overlooked as a brilliant storyteller. “Disposable Arts” is an amazing storytelling concept album.
Hands down. Amazing album
And it still holds up!!
His story telling has been on point since his first album with Movin On
Thank you, slept on album along with the interludes from an underrated artist
The best story telling album to me is Roots of Evil by Kool G Rap, from start to end it's like a movie with dope production
Ghostfaces All That I Got Is You, on Iron Man never fails to make me shed a tear.
“ Sometimes I look up at the stars and analyze the sky
And ask myself was I meant to be here, why?”
Everytime I hear it it's like the first time not too many songs like that
50 Cent Ghetto Qu'ran the Anthem Of Queens, One Of The Greatest Storytelling Songs Ever, and A Baltimore Love Thing too
4 in the bed, 2 at the foot 2 at the head…
th-cam.com/video/VppzprFjK-o/w-d-xo.html.....
One of my favorite songs 💯
Nas "One Love" is the best Hands down!
I swear 💯💯💯💯💯
Temperatures Rising
That Ghostface “Impossible” verse is a movie! It’s amazing how his verse overtook the song and made you forget all the fire you just heard and experience this story that includes as much detail as a novel or a movie.
Just hearing ghost talk about Nas and me thinking back how fire his verse actually was my first time hearing it on Stillmatic alone gives me the chills. #ThatsStoryTelling
Nas’ “Rewind” is definitely dope and unique but “I Gave you Power” was masterclass.
Blaze a 50
Yeah, I was gonna say Rewind is cool but it's not even the best storytelling track that Nas has
Small World
Second childhood, Queens Wolf, Black Girl Lost. The man is genius.
Facts the fact that’s not on this list makes it lose credibility
When I saw the title to this episode, "I gave you power - Nas" was the first thing that came to mind. That was my champ w/o seeing the bracket.
Agreed!!!!
Ghost knew too.
Even though my personal fave is "Niggas Bleed", can't go wrong with "I Gave You Power".
That's what I was thinking
Lit🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kendricks “The Art of Peer Pressure” is GOLDEN!
The entire Good Kid, Mad City album is a masterpiece
th-cam.com/video/VppzprFjK-o/w-d-xo.html.....
It’s something about kendrick that I just can’t feel, can’t put my finger on it
I didn’t like it. Felt nothing original but a whole lot of ‘he turn left then turn right the turn left’ .... it’s for those lower in consciousness and intelligence.
@@james441 guess you couldn’t understand it
@@evandonald9938 I did but they bored me. I think the hype killed him off to me. He’s talented if he rapped seriously not like ‘little keisha’ with that weird Andre 3000 voice
I've been saying for YEARS how much I wish there were new and current videos for some of my favorite non-single tracks. I'm glad Ghost said it too. ✊🏾
Ghostface is so honest, humble, and cool towards other artists.
When ghost mentioned not liking to write in the studio it reminded me of the wu tang series
So glad they included "Renee", I was about to write that it should be included and then they mentioned it. Classic! Story to Tell and Rewind are amazing too.
PLEASE do more of these. Fascinating concept.
Refreshing to see Ghostface doing an "interview" my guy usually stays out of the media's view. The Humble GHOST.
50 Cent Ghetto Qu'ran the Anthem Of Queens, One Of The Greatest Storytelling Songs Ever, and A Baltimore Love Thing too
th-cam.com/video/VppzprFjK-o/w-d-xo.html.....
Ghostface Killah one of the greatest of all-time this guy a legend for real
The look on Ghost's face when he's talking about the red light with red ink ......classic. Much respect to the most prolific emcee of the entire Wu.
50 Cent Ghetto Qu'ran the Anthem Of Queens, One Of The Greatest Storytelling Songs Ever, and A Baltimore Love Thing too
Yo this was excellent I really appreciate and enjoyed this 100 percent
IMPOSSIBLE is literally the epitome of the best story telling EVER!
The beat loop was dope but rza wit the Electric microbes and robotic probes lost me.
@@SeymourKitty RZA was literally rapping about what’s still going on today with these vaccines 💉 it’s a shame 85% the world 🌎 can’t over~stand it 🤦🏽♂️
@@ivan363 RZA did the same thing on Tragedy
@@ArtisanWindchimes He tryna teach the masses and help them find knowledge of self….listen to “Biochemical Equation” RZA always drops Gems 💎 Ghost’ always paints pictures 🎨 and GZA always gives US the science 🧪
Still not better than “today was a good day” sorry
Tupac’s Brenda got a baby was some good storytelling, felt like I was there when she put the baby in the trash heap
That shit was corny with bubble gum lyrics
@@whitehallavenue1752 You don't know what good storytelling is then.
@@whitehallavenue1752 i guess you're brenda's cousin/boyfriend
@@nishants2691 You're as corny as di little ballerina's lines inna di song.
@@Oxygen97 Yes Battybwoy 🐟... Big is a lyricist and a storyteller. It hurts yall male groupies hearts to hear that mi know .
Mah mans, as a Detroiter, truly appreciate Ghost's honesty on that Stan track, and on his own track. Stellar ratings god
When I first heard Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Ghost was the one I was drawn to right away. I like how he had his face covered in the video. I just like how he attacks the mic plus he has a lot of soul in his songs. Shakey Dog is my joint
Nas Storytelling is different. And to me Rewind might be the most Genius, but I Gave You Power is beyond genius and Blaze A 50 and One Love and Shootouts. Nas has many
The song "Who Killed It".
My favorite from Nas, “The Rise and Fall”
Fetus…the list goes on he’s definitely the greatest story teller rap has ever seen.
Nas suspects
Undying Love
Nas - I gave you power is the best story telling track … To me that shit just hit different .
I agree
They missed so many How the tf they do this without Immortal Technique- Dance with the devil
Von
Organized Konfusion - Stray Bullet did that concept before Nas I kinda like theirs more but both are great
The beat was crazy too but Rewind is super technical
B.I.G.'s "somebody's got to die" and "niggas bleed" were 2 of the best rap stories ever. That was some motion picture shit. Listening to those songs is like watching a movie. BIG painted a picture with those lyrics and it so easy to follow.
Immortal Technique - “Dance with the devil”not being on here is criminal
It was eeeeeh
Can't believe they ain't put the Geto Boys "Mind Playing Tricks On Me"... Aside from that appreciate how to down to earth and authentic Ghostface is really dope episode of brackets.
Facts. That was my shit back in the day.
Pretty much any track from Scarface is a great story. "I seen a man die" comes to mind.
Scarface suicide story as well. Its a NY show though what can you do. I'm always picking Dre or Face.
@@goose0078 don't sleep tho. Geto Boys and Scarface was getting HEAVY play in NY back in the day. That, mind playing tricks on me was a big tune out here.
I would say Ghostface's own song Run with Jadakiss.
love the energy
Good interview good questions Nice content ✌🏾
Styles P - Nobody Believes Me and Sticky Fingaz - State vs Kirk Jones are criminally underrated
Big facts. I was looking for those 2 joints as well
That Sticky Fingaz was INSANE!!
That Sticky Fingaz album is top 10 best rap albums of all time. Hands down
@@TheMithVideos puttin my 12 year old son onto it. One of best albums ever
Wow how could I forget Kirk Jones , start to finish that whole album is a movie . Never been done Kdot came close with good kid but he used skits to blend the whole story whereas Sticky’s songs actually followed a story
Lost Boyz is definitely a underrated Rap Group. Long Live Freaky Tah
th-cam.com/video/4dt_LnavKd0/w-d-xo.html
Alot of my people been struggling but now we made it
Lit🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lost Boyz got joints and not just singles, they got fire albums!
Summertime, Renae
I love this Episode 🔥🔥❤
Respect to B.Dot. It is nice to see him facilitate a great program and interview, with good questions and presentation, but more so because you can tell that he is a fan of the material. This isn't just some bs dude reading off questions and not knowing what he is talking about. B.Dot is showing how much of the music lives within him (coming back at Ghostface reciting words from interludes "I don't want nobody sounding like me...", as well as other similar moments). Good job B.Dot!!! Respect.
Nas verse on Verbal Intercourse is 1 of the greatest verses of all time. The 90's condensed in 1 verse
That verse was in deja vu also
...THRU DA LIGHTS CAMERAS AND ACTION
GLAMMER, GLITTER AND GOLD
I UNFOLD THE SCROLL, PLANT SEEDS
THAT STAMPEDE THE GLOBE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 YOU SPEAK FACTS MY GUY YOU TOOK ME BACK🎤🎧 GOOSE PIMPLES MAN
Nas🐐
@@amiracle1269 💯🐐
@@amiracle1269 man listen, a straight time capsule
SCARFACE should be on here, he is undoubetely the best storyteller ever in hip hop
Not only does he do vivid storytelling, conceptual, etc
but he can make you feel as well as leave you with deep introspective thought and takes on his songs.
part of storytelling is more than "painting pictures" its also about the emotional impact, point of the song, etc
They not ready for Face
Nas is the best story teller ever
shouts out to the host. he really knew his stuff!! Great video. GFK forever!
Millie pulled a pistol on Santa by De la Soul is one of the greatest story telling songs of all times also. It's my personal favorite.
Ghostfaces verse on "impossible" is one of my favorite stories.
Story telling at its best. 260 is dope too
@@hovitosway7125 scary hours, MGM, Strawberry, Keisha house, the projects, aww man

So many songs could’ve been on here :
Ice - T - 6 In The Morning
KRS - 1 - Love’s Gonna Get’cha
Special Ed - The Mission
Gets Boys - Scarface
Ice Cube - Once Upon a Time in the Projects
Just to name a few.
Love’s gonna getcha has got to be in like top 5
Once upon a time in the projects was one of the first songs that came to mind along with A Children’s Story
Andre Nickatina- Train with no love
@@reackizback thanks for introducing me to such a dope song!!!!
@@uncle.samc4778 my pleasure bruh ! glad you liked it
Impossible! You can never defeat the gods...
Epic classic jont there slim!
I like this format
Ghost is one of my favorite emcees. He has the style, sophistication, and bars!!!!

th-cam.com/video/VppzprFjK-o/w-d-xo.html.....
Yup
RA The Rugged Man’s verse on Uncommon Valor should be on here, that was verse of the decade
Honourable mentions
Royce - Tabernacle
immortal technique - dance with the devil
scarface - suicide note
brother ali - Faheem
Cage - subtle art of a break up song
CasisDead - Simon (for anyone who’s into British rap)

RA is so damn underrated man. That Uncommon Valor verse (the whole song really) is a masterpiece.
Oi big respect for the CAS shout.
Undying love 💯
Motherless child was when I really realized ghost was a great story teller
Plus guesthouse ft fabulous was crazy
The Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City album has aged wonderfully.
Eric B & Rakim - "What's On Your Mind" and KRS One - "Love's Gonna Getcha"
2 major story telling songs that I didn't see anyone mention or give love too.
Yes KrS One - love is gonna getcha is too hard !
Both great songs

Kool G Rap: On The Run is a storytelling masterpiece!
Mobsta's is my favorite Kool G Rap track of all his tracks. It has no chorus or hook and is just straight up Mafioso story telling at its finest.
No Doubt, love Ill Street Blues too.
Hitman's Diary is one of my favorites
@@aharris82 diary of a hit man by main source
@@aharris82 Roots Of Evil is my favorite album from KGR. Hitman's Diary is another banger
Ghost's verse on "Impossible" is my favorite story. Also the first-person imagery from Nas in the first verse of "NY State of Mind"
Ghostface is a trip the way he talk and his passion is great!
Ghostface Voice Is Pure Gold and How He Puts His Words Together Is Amazing
50 Cent Ghetto Qu'ran the Anthem Of Queens, One Of The Greatest Storytelling Songs Ever, and A Baltimore Love Thing too
th-cam.com/video/VppzprFjK-o/w-d-xo.html.....
Fun fact, Nas said in some interview that Rewind was one of the fastest records he wrote. Idk, it might be on drink champs or something but i'm 100% sure I've heard him say it.
That is genus idea making old songs that never had a music video!!
My brother bought Ironman for me when I was 13 I’m 39 now because he new how much I loved wutang and he even got into the album before he gave it me and he gave me a block of hash it was the perfect combo wildflower was my most played track but the whole album blended perfectly every track was a great story
Nas “Rewind”
Big L “ The Heist”
Biggie “I got a story to tell”
Biggie Niggaz Bleed is my favorite song that was bs He went with Nas
Immortal technique- Dance with the devil?
KRS-ONE “Loves gonna getcha”
@@RecoverLA was about to type that
@@RecoverLA yoooo!
Ghost's persona is so chilled out laid back ❤❤😍😍😍
Much respect for the man Ghost. Top 5 instantly!!
I completely agree every song even old songs ahould have a video even if it is made 25 years after the release.
Some of my favourites:
Mona Lisa -Lil Wayne ft Kendrick Lamar
Duckworth -Kendrick Lamar
I gave you power -Nas
Friend or Foe -Jay Z
Dance with the devil -Immortal Technique
Sing about me -Kendrick Lamar
Brenda's got a baby -2pac
Homecoming -Kanye West
and I'm probably forgetting some.
Can’t forget bout Mac from no limit he is one of my best story tellers in hip hop 💯
Lit🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's less of astory if all three verses are different stories I think that's part of the criteria.
Duckworth is my favorite right now but I need to study up on all this other music before I declare it my personal number one. I have a LOT to study up on. I was born in 92 so a lot of this stuff came out when I was in preschool.
Glen Close -Binary Star, Teardrops and closed caskets-2pac, Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos
Scarface and 3000 can tell a helluva story. Tip “I still love ya”, was one track I love also.
DOPE!!!
I know it’s not quite rap, mostly hip hop, but “I left my wallet in El Segundo” is a fantastic story song
Its hip hop man
The track is thumpin!
Agree
Nas one of the best storytellers in rap period if not the best. I mean the illmatic album alone but through out his career. Songs like One Love, 2nd Childhood, Rewind are some good examples. But the most underrated storyteller to me is Masta Ace.
The Masta Ace song "People In My Hood" is awesome story telling. Peep that one.
Yeah man, Masta Ace is the truth. Slept on him for decades before I knew what's up.
Kendrick - Sing About Me
Nas - Daughters
Kendrick - Opposites Attract
Some of my favs 💯
opposite attracts 🔥🔥🔥🔥
All Fire! 🔥🔥
When ghost said he’s a soul baby and how he puts that emotion in it , I totally hear that emotion in his song holla 💯 one of my favorites from him
Complex my hats off to you having Ghost on here ….have to pay homage to these lyrical assassins
What a dope concept, and so refreshing from the "Top 5 Mcs of All Time" debates.
Impossible gives me chills bro, like I feel a cold draft when I listen to that jont. Rza and U-God set the tone and Tekitha's voice let u know how real it was... and Rae just spoke to us...
Much Gratitude.
So glad for this interview…. I hope to work with ghost one day.. i did a whole project all storytelling called “Merlot”. Ghost is a 🐐 and definitely and inspiration for it
I don't think Ghost knew Kendricks or King Von's songs he just chose one lol. Nas's song "Who Killed It" is another good story.
That’s what I was thinking too lol
I hated that song. Weird voice!
@@b.miller5087 Nas was mimicking those old mystery story tellers from back in the day but flipped it.
No real lyricist or real hip hop head is listening to King Von.
I would say “still dreaming” off hip hop is dead is the best storytelling track, I remember someone breaking down who killed it back then in detail that song went over a lot of peoples heads but it don’t really got replay value like that
Ghostface - The Forest 🌳 should’ve been on this. With a dope Alchemist beat and Ghostface rapping about all the story book and cartoon characters 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That song was/still is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My top 5 favorites by Ghostface!!! Wish he would have shot a video to "The Forest" too. That's woulda been Hella Dope!
Though not has good as the forest, don't forget skunk fu either.
@@antfrancis9941 Skunk Fu? By Ghost?
Lit🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
man " all that i got is you " ghost face is a classic hard to hear it sometimes to sentimental def a tear jerker one of the realest hardest rap life stories out to.
Ghostface Killah's Yolanda's house is literally one of the best story telling songs of all time!! So salty he doesn't mention it 🤯💯
Pacs verse on "Still I Rise", "Pain", Nas on "Remember The Times", Scarface on "Now I Feel Ya", need to be on this list!!!
Edit: Nas "Surviving the Times"
Honestly they should have Ghost back to just rate storytelling songs by artist. Have him critique nas.. then another time critique scarface etc
Tupac tear drops and close caskets
He"s a beast and tell the truth: 'Everyone sounds the same', don't forget Rasskass...
Ras Kass*
I would put “the Evil that men do” up against any song on this list for storytelling
Love this show
Love u Ghostfacekhilla🔥🔥❤️ one of the realest
2:00 Ghost's verse in Impossible inspired the FIRST Russian Hip Hop story telling track "About Max" (Pro Maksa) by the group Kasta, and thus actually gave birth to the whole Russian Hip Hop scene of the 2000s. Impossible to not recognize.
PAC a slept on storyteller! Jcole said he learned how to tell stories from pac and nas
True, 16 on death row, better dayz, shorty wanna be a thug, Brenda got a baby, mama just a little girl, dopefiend diner, tear drop and closed caskets...PAC storytelling is really underrated...
@@fideletamo4292 violent, resist the temptation, young black male, trapped, words of wisdom(a underrated lyrical song), and one of my fav songs of his part time mutha is the ultimate story telling song
Don't forget souljas story!
Both great story tellers but pac was inspired to write me and my girlfriend after he heard got a story to tell I believe that’s how the story goes
Tear drops & closed caskets also
Undying love ❤️
Trife life Pt.2 always gave me chills. Great story. Could be a movie honestly
The story that Ghostface told on Ne-Yo’s “Get Down Like That (Remix)” was my introduction to the Wu as a whole. Found the CD by the trash can outside and pocketed the joint. By the way, that Ne-Yo album slap hard.
To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer ❤️
Thanks
I review weed products on my TH-cam channel for a living .
May peace and love find you always as well.
Wish you the best as well king. 🙏🏾
much love brother, wish you the best too
FINALLY some props given to 'undying love'! absolute film noir vibes. i'll give a shout out to common's 'retrospect for life'.
Damned shame that Immortal Technique wasn’t on the original list. Dance with the Devil and You Never Know are two of the greatest stories ever told in hip-hop.
For sure
Came here to say this
Who is Immortal Technique though?
@@joshuaj812 Immortal Technique is definitely one the more slept on mcs out of Harlem. If you get a chance check out Revolutionary Vol. 2. Incredible lyricism and storytelling.
I'm mad Joe Budden "3 sides to a story" wasn't on here
