If I had to pick one rapper to define as the best...I don't know. But I would probably have to pick Nas. His story telling ability is untouched. I like the way Justano described it in the first comment...beautifully miserable. That's a good point. One aspect of his storys that really stands out to me is his attention to detail all the way through.
"Pacino life, G a roll, casino dice/
at the Mirage, Vegas strip, neon lights/
Gamblers, puffin cigars, couples and stars/
Spent the weekend, already miss New York and it's odd/
cause I'm the first to say it got too many hustlers who rob/"
-Puts you right there in Vegas. Plus it shows that he's planning on coming home earlier then expected when mentioning that it's odd he misses NY.
It really provides such a vivid picture, and allows you to put yourself there. Talk about getting lost in music...this is it.
