      Since the majority of rap songs are about nothing, rap fans are often impressed when the song tell a story. Thus, while rock has concept albums, rap has concept songs.
      What rap are you listening to?

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        Actually, I didn't lol. For some reason, I completely didn't notice the explanation. I think I got it though....just something that tells a story real-time or something?

        I'm a fan of "Undying Love" from Nas.....would that count?

                Dance with the Devil - Immortal Technique (P.S. someone on this board introduced me to Immortal Technique... thank you)

                You Neer Know - Immortal Technique Sad story, but a good one

                Sometime Around Midnight - The Airborne Toxic Unit Newer song... but very interesting... lacks a chorus/refrain... excellent usage of a string quartet in the song

                  The first one that sticks to my mind is "Life is for Learning" by Marvin Gaye. It's an interesting song in that you'd think it's about learning from mistakes and such in life by the title but Marvin gets all esoteric on us and takes it in a whole other direction.

                  The song is really about music and how there's "good" and "bad" music and how the artist pays the price for making such music. On top of that you have this mystery woman that he talks about who's dancing to the music and he's encouraging her to dance "on the right/light side" rather then succumbing to the vices of "bad" music.

                  Here's the lyrics

                  Oh, oh mr darling
                  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

                  The artist pays the price
                  So you won't have to pay
                  If only we would listen
                  To What they have to say

                  There are songs from wisdom
                  There are songs from from satan
                  There are songs from from lovin'
                  There are songs from And hatin'

                  There are songs from from lust
                  There are songs from pain
                  Some songs were done by chosen men
                  Some from men, insane
                  Groove, baby, groove on the light, one time
                  Groove, baby, on the right
                  Dance, baby, to the light this time
                  Dance sugar, on the right side

                  Groove, baby, groove on the light, this time
                  Groove, baby, on the right side
                  Dance, baby, to the light and you do good
                  Dance, baby, to the light

                  Some songs will show wich way to go
                  If only you would listen
                  Bad songs that turn you on
                  Show you how much is missing

                  Songs we're meant to listen to
                  You're checkin' out the best
                  Good songs were sent to men from God
                  Help us pass the test

                  Life is for learning
                  And the purpose is joinin' up
                  With the love of thousand bodies needed
                  But your soul is never destroyed

                  Your love, darling, this is all we desire
                  And all they want is a little understanding, yeah
                  Sometimes as song can prophesize a warning from the Master
                  To make your soul listen to, make your learnin' faster

                  The devil have his special plan
                  To make hot songs for sinners
                  Thank God we'll turn its around
                  And make good songs for winners

                  Ay, did you know
                  Some songs can corrupt your flesh to dust
                  The only song you should live
                  Are the songs that you can trust
                  The artist pays the price

                    Probably the deepest song I've ever heard.
