Pez - Lost

Respek BA - In Dreams

Royce 5'9 - Death is Certain pt.II

if you can find a copy of Biography from Siditious , that is one of my favorite storytelling beats/songs of all time. I am also a big fan of the Immortal Technique Dance W/ the Devil.

Any of Jay Z's stuff for the most part tells a story.

Paul Revere - The Beastie Boys

Personally i think that "You Never Know" was a better song than "Dance with the Devil" but the sickly twisted nature of "Dance..." catapulted it into a certain level of popularity his other tracks haven't attained.
