Got a Story to Tell

This is a deep, insightful narrative about his formative years. It does not flow in the way other story raps do, missing transitions and context. but his herky-jerky flow makes that lack of cohesion seem intentional.

Speaking of flow, that is precisely what drew me to this song. Blu has a myriad of flows which he employs liberally depending on the track. Here he decides to go with a hesitation, stutter step style which perfectly compliments the track as well as the aforementioned story structure.

"...I got a story to tell" - the Notorious B.I.G.

This most recent entry of 'got a story' is unique in the sense that the entire narrative is set with the main character is not quite yet a full living and breathing being.

Back in 99' heads was anxiously waiting for the release of Nas’ third album, I Am. Rumor was that It was supposed to be a double album until most of songs leaked onto the web, consequently sending Nas back to the studio to record new songs so the now, single CD would have fresh material.

One of the stand out joints from those series of leaks was Fetus (Belly Button Window). This was later released on The Lost Tapes however it had a slightly different beat arrangement and a few of the bars from the first verse were different. The original was more raw and way better.
