    Tough 1st rounder

    Art of Storytelling is a great track & Slick Rick the GOAT but...

    Passing Me By is a timeless classic

    It was tough to go against 'kast here...

    Fatlip's verse seals it for me...

    "Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian
    And now the world around me be gets moving in slow motion when
    When-ever she happens to walk by - why does the apple of my eye
    Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try?
    Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistence
    And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existence
    From a distance I desired, secretly admired her
    Wired her a letter to get her, and it went
    My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well
    Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you
    When I try or make some sort of attempt, I symp
    Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp
    Cause then I would let you know that I love you so
    And if I was your man then I would be true
    The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
    Then I signed sincerely, the one who loves you dearly, PS Love Me Tender
    The letter came back three days later: Return to Sender, damn"

    Passing me by is just a better story for what both videos was tryna do. Ironically the art of story telling joint seem to go a lil bit left to me. They rapping about some some ? up ? when it came to women in they life but over some happy ass beat. I just thought there was something a little more off about their story ? than passing me by. It's like passing me by is about taking an L with women too but atleast the hook and drab depressing beat reflects that. Outkast hook and beat make you think some good ? going on.

    You wanna talk about a record that stands the test of time. Shiieeeett this it. I ? with art of storytelling. Dope track. But passing me by was just everything. Beats, rhymes, deliveries. These west coast ? had bars. I didn't even know these dudes from the west. When this came out I thought these ? was from Brooklyn. Damn I miss originality.

    It was close but I have to go with Passin Me By.

    That song is a hiphop classic and I don't throw that term around lightly. From the unique verses, to the chorus, to the dope Quincy Jones sample, to the video where them Pharcyde cats was hangin' upside down and doing push-ups off the chain link fence and ? ...LOL... classic material.

    Outkast and Ricky D both have better "storytelling" songs than this one (i.e. Children's Story or International Playas Anthem)

    I like how you got cats in here dropping opinions on their choice. Instead of picking simply off of the title.
