great series but i think it would benefit from more songs in the pool so that some songs are not chosen at all. like there be 15 songs but only 10 spots
I fuck with Ant heavy. 4 Your Eyez Only is my favorite story telling track of all time so I gotta give to him. The whole album (4 Your Eyez Only) is such a masterpiece in story telling too.
note sure if you’ve heard this song but “let it all work out” by Lil wayne is one of my fav story telling song of all time. Super underrated and talks about wayne’s suicide attempt and how it affected him
Lu should automatically lose because he doesn't know samidot is 12 minutes at 3:43 he says it's a 7 minute epic. the song is roughly split between 7 minutes sing about me and 5 minutes i'm dying of thirst, but from the way he says it i don't think he was referring about sing about me being 7 minutes. This is not the first time he made this mistake. In a video talking about mmtbs (i don't know which one), Lu said mother I sober is the samidot of the album being close to 7 minutes. He might had said something similar about fear, that being the longest on damn and also 7 minutes long. I am honestly amazed that not more people noticed this Edit: I have just realized this is an old video, which also means mmtbs wasn't even out at that time and maybe Lu has addressed this, but I have not seen anybody talk about this
Look What You’ve Done is Drake’s best storytelling song it resonates so much with me. Specially the first verse about the problems and arguing with his mom 😓
A good idea for a type of video Serious is Beef wars or something where they pick a beef IE Jay z vs Nas and one person makes a case for why Nas won and the other a case for Jay z. With so many beefs in hip hop history I think there's alot of potential
Love these vids! I gotta go with Lu on this one but its tough. Quick music suggestion but yall gotta hear SGV1 by SURF GANG. They an underground group in NY who my friend put me onto a few weeks ago, shit sound so different.
Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst is 12 Minutes. Sing about me is the first part, which is roughly 7 minutes, and I'm Dying of Thirst is roughly 5 minutes
One of my favorite storytelling songs is Keep it 100 by Joyner Lucas, shits wild, the depth he goes in, how it all loops around to the start symbolizing the process of letting money rule the world & being the root of all evil repeating itself, it’s just poetic & beautiful
Controversial but favourite storytelling track is Lesley buy Dave how the chorus ties into the whole story and how heavy it is it is the only song to ever make me cry
Dont know if you'll see this, but I've been loving the episodes of the Free Smoke seires. Was wondering if you could do a segment with LP! and By the Time I Get to Pheonix. I don't know your opinions on them but for me they are both 10/10 albums and my two contenders for hip-hop aoty.
This is the best content on the whole UA-cam of music industry videos. This time I'm giving Ant the win, the album sounded incredible and I liked very much the story behind it. The way Lu placed Rewind was just genius tho.
Ace Hood has 2 fantastic story telling songs 'Memory Lane' you almost feel like he's going to break down in that second verse very strong song & 'Lil Nigga' is a great story of a smart kid turned gang member check it out!
yo its off topic but can yall do some asap rocky vid sugestions would be: asap rocky discography ranked, everything we know about all smiles, 1999 Vs LIVELOVEASAP free smoke (my favourite series) and LONGLASTASAP vs idk (views, cherry bomb and Tpab would make sense cus of the timeframe but TPAB is just way too great and cherry bomb is tyler you cant face them up thats illegial, i think either if you are reading this its too late or what a time to be alive would make sense. i think all of the 3 drake albums i mentioned would win on this channel but still. not saying that you are biased.) love yall and keep up the great vids
I disagree with Lu saying that Roses didn’t fit the concept of his album. I think Kanye discussing the shortcomings and discrimination of the healthcare system ties in nicely with how a failing governmental system impacts people like in Sing About Me, PROM/KING and Survival Tactics. Loved what he was going for conceptually with his album though
Choose the winner of this on our UA-cam Community Tab Poll
you guys should do a fantasy draft for 90s hip hop Big L, Pharaoh Monch, stuff like that.
great series but i think it would benefit from more songs in the pool so that some songs are not chosen at all. like there be 15 songs but only 10 spots
Thanks for the feedback!
I like this
Lu got it for me with SAM and DAOS, but extra points for the Saba love Care for Me is a masterpiece
Prom/ King deserves all of the flowers it recieves
Ant got it for me
So many great Kendrick songs to choose from. Keisha's Song and Duckworth also come to mind.
@@josedabigbrain3667 how much a dollar cost is in the video
i love prom/king. saba is so underrated
facts
Phenomenal song
Lu had a great album, but in my opinion Stan, 4 Your Eyez Only and HMADC are too heavy to defeat. So I‘d give it to Ant
Fair!
i agree
I love this series so much. I want more!
We'll be back with another one soon 👀
I would have loved to see Dance With the Devil in this list😁
I fuck with Ant heavy. 4 Your Eyez Only is my favorite story telling track of all time so I gotta give to him. The whole album (4 Your Eyez Only) is such a masterpiece in story telling too.
All dope songs!
literally my second favorite song of all time
I was going to go nuts if Rewind wasn’t selected lol he’s literally telling a story backwards, insane!!!
My favorite story-telling track is Duckworth since i feel as though kendrick put his soul into that song
Duckworth is amazing too!
4 Your Eyez Only everytime I listen to that song I cry and also I keep thinking about Kobe & Gigi 😥😥😥
Luka goes into so much more detail regarding the concepts of the songs
It's crazy how new saba is to the game and he's got a storytelling song that doesn't seem out of place with these legendary tracks
Saba is a great artist
Dance with the devil by immortal technique should’ve been included
True, what a song🥵 It would also have been nice if “I Gave You Power” by Nas was on the list, where he raps from the gun’s perspective🥶
@@victorvadmand853 I gave you power isn’t really story telling. Still a great song though.
Almost made it!
@@NFRPodcast you guys are the goatss
@@gbizzle201 how is I Gave You Power not a storytelling song?
Honourable mentions are definitely dance with the devil, Ross capicchioni and ill mind of hopsin 7, 8 and 9
You have to bring it back
Lets Go!! You guys took my idea with the draft order I think it went well
Appreciate the suggestion!
good podcast and very informing because i dont listen to rap as much as i listen to r&b and pop, soul,blues
Glad you liked it!
note sure if you’ve heard this song but “let it all work out” by Lil wayne is one of my fav story telling song of all time. Super underrated and talks about wayne’s suicide attempt and how it affected him
Should have added I gave you power from Nas but can't deny Rewind lol
I gave you power was the first song I was looking for as well as warning by Biggie
Both classic
NY state of mind, Bad guy, I gave you power, DUCKWORTH, or you must love me
Fax
Stan being on here is so cool glad it's part of the list
Lu should automatically lose because he doesn't know samidot is 12 minutes

Yo this song pool was so right down my alley man
Lost Ones - J. Cole is the best storytelling song in hip hop history
Thought about that one aswell
I think 4 Your Eyez Only is a Top 5 Song All Time. And I think it’s the best story telling song of all time.
A man of culture I see😌
Gives me Chills Everytime😭🥺
Lmaooo hell no! You j cole stans smoke crack if you think anything cole is top 5
@El Topo I mean ok but act like it's 1. How much a dollar costs
2. 4 your eyez only
Amazing song!
You guys just keep killing it, best in the game!!!
Immortal technique- Dance with the devil should have been on here
Great video boys! Love the adjustment to the picking order. Keep up the vids one of the best music channels on YT!
Samidot easy first pick for me
You called it!
Memories back then
A good idea for a type of video Serious is Beef wars or something where they pick a beef IE Jay z vs Nas and one person makes a case for why Nas won and the other a case for Jay z. With so many beefs in hip hop history I think there's alot of potential
I was thinking Roses by Outkast. I'm so dumb. Sorry.
bring this backkkkkk
Love these vids! I gotta go with Lu on this one but its tough. Quick music suggestion but yall gotta hear SGV1 by SURF GANG. They an underground group in NY who my friend put me onto a few weeks ago, shit sound so different.
Thanks for the suggestion Lyon King🙏 you're a real OG
@@NFRPodcast Thank you guys, always look forward to your vids and love the community you guys are building.
Lupe has some great story telling tracks too
Kick Push should’ve been here
Been waitin for this! Loved the last one too!
Appreciate the love!
A cool debate episode would be having two concept albums go head to head.
We have a series like that called "Dead Wrong" on the channel
I’m taking Luca’s list. AOST rewind and SAMIDOT are prob my 3 fav storytelling tracks
Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst is 12 Minutes. Sing about me is the first part, which is roughly 7 minutes, and I'm Dying of Thirst is roughly 5 minutes
What part do u like more, I gotta go with dying of thirst
@@fazecarpet2448 I love both parts, but Sing About Me's storytelling is hard to top
@@1coven I agree, dying of thrust is just my personal favourite
One of my favorite storytelling songs is Keep it 100 by Joyner Lucas, shits wild, the depth he goes in, how it all loops around to the start symbolizing the process of letting money rule the world & being the root of all evil repeating itself, it’s just poetic & beautiful
Bloody canvass by polo g deserved to be on this list of y’all haven’t heard it check it out
Love this Channel, Ant got the W on this one
Best Series Lads!
Much love!
fav storytellin track; crazy story by king von
Dance with the Devil is the best storytelling song ever made, one of the darkest stories in rap and a really good Mozart sample.
Eminem even stated Wayne’s verse in Mona Lisa is top 5 of all time👏
Anyone who loves storytelling tracks should check out "letter to you" by Ryan tray
Ryan Trey is so underrated!
Controversial but favourite storytelling track is Lesley buy Dave how the chorus ties into the whole story and how heavy it is it is the only song to ever make me cry
we def need another episode of this
Dont know if you'll see this, but I've been loving the episodes of the Free Smoke seires. Was wondering if you could do a segment with LP! and By the Time I Get to Pheonix. I don't know your opinions on them but for me they are both 10/10 albums and my two contenders for hip-hop aoty.
Thank you for the suggestion🙏
It Was A Good Day by Ice Cube is the best song on this list by far, it makes me seriously sad that it didn't get chosen till the 4th round.💀
eh I disagree, its definitely Stan at #1, the Storytelling, the Vocal Performance by Eminem, that hook, yeah...
Dancing with the Devil should of made ngl
Better know NFR is already goated IMO
Hope you enjoyed this one🙏
at the end of the video y’all should give your albums a title !! 💯
That's something to consider, thanks!
this og series too fire 🔥 keep it up guys 🙇
4 your eyez only wins any Playlist battle for me
Sing about me wipes easily
Crazy Story goes hard af
Loved this!
This is the best content on the whole UA-cam of music industry videos. This time I'm giving Ant the win, the album sounded incredible and I liked very much the story behind it. The way Lu placed Rewind was just genius tho.
Thank you for the constant support Daniel🙏
No cap
You guys should do a video where you go and say who was the best rapper of each year for the 2010’s decade
super close but lu got the best two songs of the bunch and struck gold with the saba pick
Fair!
Real ones started watching this 20 mins ago on apple podcasts
Aye respect🔥
Stan is the best story telling song ever
Mona Lisa would have been my first pick 🤷♂️
daos pt 1 is a top 3 song oat in my opinion because it's so enjoyable and it's unskippable
easy disagree
It's up there!
I think the only flaw with you guys rating is that you unrate the hooks often
How is dance with the devil by immortal technique not on the list 😭 or Brenda's gotta baby by tupac
Close
🔥🔥🔥🔥
cant wait for the 90s one
Trap goated songs draft as next draft pls! :D
Ace Hood has 2 fantastic story telling songs 'Memory Lane' you almost feel like he's going to break down in that second verse very strong song & 'Lil Nigga' is a great story of a smart kid turned gang member check it out!
i honestly think you guys should've done lesley by dave it is one of my fav storytelling tracks ever and really goes under the radar
Almost made our list, one of our favorite storytelling songs!
There shouldve been some polo g in here but love it
Stan is the best
I’m slightly disappointed with no Dance With The Devil but at the same time, these are W song selections in general
Thanks!
BIG fan of this series keep it up! Love from the GTA
Much love from MTL!
My fav story track is maad citie
Goated series, keep up the grind
Appreciate you Richard🙏
yo its off topic but can yall do some asap rocky vid sugestions would be:
asap rocky discography ranked, everything we know about all smiles, 1999 Vs LIVELOVEASAP free smoke (my favourite series) and LONGLASTASAP vs idk (views, cherry bomb and Tpab would make sense cus of the timeframe but TPAB is just way too great and cherry bomb is tyler you cant face them up thats illegial, i think either if you are reading this its too late or what a time to be alive would make sense. i think all of the 3 drake albums i mentioned would win on this channel but still. not saying that you are biased.) love yall and keep up the great vids

Autograph by Juice Wrld
at 11:00 it says the wrong thing
I just checked the comments right when I saw it
Wilshire could’ve been added
Thanks for doing a snake draft this time! Makes it a lot fairer.
Absolutely
love this series
Appreciate the support!
How do you vote
Head over to our UA-cam community tab!
You let Ice Cube slide, Lu! Don't make that mistake again!! :)
Cube a legend
Children's Story has got to be the best storytelling track OAT
you should make a video where you rank the best mumble rappers.
I'll be there
Where u here?
🙏
I gave you power by Nas should've been there
Sing about me HAD to be the first pick.
Undying love should’ve been in the list
For me homecoming is a better storytelling song than roses
Interesting🤔
Mona Lisa not being top 5 in these picks is bonkers
ant for me but cryin there is no andre
