storytelling

In rap is storytelling like when you tell a story in the song in rhymes.

Nas´s song "one love" is a storytelling rap song.
I think storytelling rap is better than any other kind of rap.

Irish Storytelling

An aimless, meandering, stream-of-consciousness narrative form rife with circumstantial details that ultimately dominate the principal plot and serve as jarring segues between thematically unrelated acts.

Person A: Hey man, whats up?
Person B: My life is so tragic. This one time I went fishing with my dad all day and we didn't catch a fish between us and then I pissed my pants. Then I saw an octopus."
A: That story was all over the place!

B: No it wasn't. I did eat a chocolate bar too.
A: Nigga, you are great at Irish Storytelling.

Spoonfed storytelling

Writing or scripting that feels the incessant need to over-explain everything to the viewer, even obvious things. It's most prevalent in poorly made modern movies from 2000 onward. It implies that studios believe audiences are so dumb that they won't be able to follow a complex story.

Damn, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was godawful. The special effects were cool but the spoonfed storytelling was insulting.

HARSHNOISE STORYTELLING

Harshnoise-Storytelling is a genre of music created in 2018 by Québécois music producer Alexandre Cubaynes on Soundcloud for his debut album Tape I.

It's caracteristics are overgained vocals of a copypasta and greentext theme and ripped off background music.
None is sure wether this genre subscribes to ironic memes or deeply sincere performance.

"hey bro, do you know that old school Navy SEAL gorilla warfare copypasta?"
"Yeah man, Alexandre Cubaynes made a harshnoise storytelling track on his Soundcloud!"
