Concept Rappers

I don't know if anyone's already done this, but whatever.

What would you say is your favourite concept rapper/track? Personally, I've been listening to The Subtle Art Of The Breakup Song, Ballad of the Worms, Interview With a Vampire, Rewind, Uncommon Valour and Fallen back to back, awesome stuff.

Vinnie Paz's "Same Story" is a great concept track about his father and step-father dying.

Also it's on a great Anno Domini beat.
