Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 12: Da Art Of Storytelling


Gangstas, it's been a while! Soooo, yours truly, DJ Hourglass, decided to put something special together for Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 12.  I present... Da Art of Storytelling (Part 1).  Hip Hop storytelling is an art form that few rappers have mastered, but when done right, the story can be so clever or shocking that you're stuck sitting, thinking about it.

Of course I included storytelling pros like Slick Rick, The Notorious B.I.G., Pac, Common and Nas, but there are some new names in the mix as well including J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T., and Kendrick Lamar. Check out Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 12: Da Art of Storytelling below and hit the jump for a full tracklisting!

New Music: T.I. - Niggas In Paris Remix


After 2,394,323,434 "Niggas In Paris" remixes, T.I. uses some French and makes a verse that fits in completely with Jay-Z and Ye's offerings.  It's a party song, no need to make it so deep!  Check it out below and sip on something while you're at it.
