Greatest Story Ever Told In Rhyme???

This topic is definitely a great one for debating. There are some MCs out there who have been known for their great story-telling abilities. I don't believe that every MC should be a great story-teller as many seem to mention when speaking on great MCs. However, there are some MCs whose story-telling abilities are just unbelievable.

One MC who is very talented with this is my all-time favorite MC, Kool G Rap. I have added a link at the bottom of this post for his song "A Thug's Love Story". This song in my opinion is the illest story ever told in rhyme. The story is broken up into 3 chapters and the level of detail and action throughout the story makes you quickly forget that it's actually a song! You suddenly feel as if you're sitting in a movie theater with a bucket of popcorn and a pack of snocaps on your lap lolol. Never in all my life have I heard an MC tell a story ANYTHING like this. This song is from his album, "Roots of Evil" that many people do not even know about. He specifically recorded this album to raise the bar and take his lyricism to another level. The bad part is that is was released on a small label, was badly promoted and soon became unavailable.

What are some of the illest stories you have heard in rhyme???

Here's a link for downloading the song:
