Following the huge response to the question ‘What is the greatest story rap ever?’ it’s become clear that there was no way that one compilation could do the genre justice, so for starters here are some lesser known but still (largely) recognized tales about sumptuous stunts, trips to the bing and tearing the heads off of Ninja Turtle dolls.

Fuckin Robbie mang!!!
The only thing missin is any random Ice Cube story. When you first brought up the idea of this post last week i was thinkin “I should suggest Bust One Fa Me”. Then at the bottom of the list what do I see? Bust One Fa Me!
That plus never Never Made 20 make this comp super legit!
Props!!!
“Going Wild In the Penile”
b/w
“Go see the doctor”
No Nas? Undying Love, Blaze A 50, I Gave You Power😐
No black steel in hour of chaos?!? Robbie you must be working on vol 2.
Nice one Robbie. Sense this will run and run. Vinyl compilations next.
Good looks on that Lench Mob cut. Might actually be my favorite track on that album.
C’mon now, Robbie clearly said “lesser known” tracks. Great comp here, thank you. That Pudgee track is a fav of mine, hilarious(and disgusting).
Nice to see Scool of Hard Knocks getting rep!
Great list. Some personal favorites :

The G Rap & Tim Dog trax had me laughing to myself like a weirdo on my daily commute, KGR detailing his plans to get laid being thwarted by a meddlesome toddler being especially funny.
Dope shit Robbie! I just DL’d and I’m currently chillin in my studio room listenin to this right now on a Friday night at 12:35am. peace
I’mma do a 2 or 3 hour all vinyl radio mixshow special of this kinda shit on my radio show in the coming months. I’ll be sure to credit you for the inspiration to do it…
Haven’t listened yet but the kmd one is a good inclusion. Remember thinking the little dis at onyx was harsh at the time it came out (the white label bootleg cause the album got shelved). Actually he’s probably another one for the milk carton.
The bizzie boys one is dope. .. I am Def one of those who slept.
