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?

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
