What are some rap songs with good concepts/storylines? or even rap songs with a from of politcal activism?

Examples:

Stan by Eminem, deranged fan writes series of letters to Eminem

Guilty Conscience by Eminem, Eminem is the "bad angel" and Dre is the "good angel" convincing people how to approach situations

Rewind by Nas, Nas tells a story... backwards. ((sick.))

Homecoming by Kanye West, Kanye writes about Chicago but makes it appear as if he is speaking about a female

Kobe Bryant by Lil Wayne, Wayne writes a song about Kobe... good song if you're a bball fan

Hip Hop Saved My Life by Lupe Fiasco, song about an aspiring rapper

Fatherhood by Saigon, Sai-giddy writes a song to his newborn daughter




theres a few examples of what I'm looking for... anybody know of any other good concept songs?

brendas got a baby-tupac---story about brenda (teenage mom) who has a baby

dance with the devil-immortal technique--very deep song, intense, listen to find out what its about

Nas-Rewind

Editidnt read the OP haha, but thats EXACTLY the first song i thought of

Bone Thugs n Harmony-Ghetto Cowboy haha

Me and my bitch-Biggie
I got a story to tell-Biggie
Black Steel in the hour of chaos-PE
Childrens Story-Slick Rick
Art of Storytelling Part 1-Outkast

Rewind by Nas, or Stan by Eminem.

Fight the Power - Public Enemy

Letter- Wale with John Mayer samples. Real tight flow, talking about Obama and Tupac.

+1 hahahahaha

On a serious note, this one is just fantastic. Probably my favorite. The Coup - "Fat Cats, Bigga Fish"

Does explaining the past count? If so, then:

Dear Mama - 2Pac

Haha love this song!

How about one of/if not the first, storytelling raps?

any song by immortal technique. dude is a badass and raps about real life situations.

I'm also a bit down that no one has posted much by Slick Rick. He invented the art, as his (somewhat) recent album title would indicate.

Ill Bill - "anatomy of a school shooting"

Immortal Technique - Peruvian Cocaine
feat. Diabolic, Tonedeff, Poison Pen, Loucipher, C-Rayz Walz

Listen and comprehend?

LFO - Summer Girls

PS- I think Too $horts "Cocktails" tells a wonderful story too. Or Afroman's "Colt 45." I mean seriously...they're far fetched and degrading to women...but hilarious and awesome all in one.

"Run"-Cappadonna

Sticky Fingaz' entire "Blacktrash: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones" album.

I Used To Love H.E.R. by Common

Love to Hate by Slayer.

Primarily because it's old-school thrash band Slayer doing a rap-metal sort of thing. I can't say there's anything significant about the song or its concept, but its existence amuses me.
