13305582, Rap songs where the POV switches or is not always first person
Posted by double negative, Wed Jan-09-19 12:08 PM
Listened to Lupe Fiasco's 'He Say She Say' and was reminded of the fact that this song starts from the perspective of a parent or adult observing the main character btu then the second part is the main character repeating each line from the first but the perspective has switched to first person.

Then I was reminded of Kendrick Lamar's 'FEAR' where it's a three part story of Kendrick as a kid, a teenager and an adult.


What else matches that style of storytelling?

I want to say Nas' 'I gave you power' but thats still first person
