For this series, rate each story in the following categories (1-10):
Narrative - How well crafted was the story? (did it have a beginning, middle, and an end, was a purpose identified, did we get a good conclusion, etc...)
Clarity - How clearly did the artist tell the story? (could you follow the events in the story, did the narrative make sense, did they lyrics stay on topic, etc..)
Storytelling - How interesting was the story and the way it was told?
Creativity - Was the subject of the story exceptional? Was the story told in an unorthodox way?
Overall - Can be the average your other scores or a roll-up based on how you weigh the different categories. It shouldn't be higher than any of the category scores though. (This is what you put in the poll.
Third Story: Rewind
My Scores:
Narrative - Looking at the story from beginning to end (the opposite of how its told), there's not much of a narrative there, but as barebones as it was Nas put it together well. 7
Clarity - The story is crystal clear which is impressive given the unorthodox way that its told. 10
Storytelling - There really isn't much to the story itself, but the way it was told really draws the listener in. 8
Creativity - It's a story told in reverse. Enough said. 10
Overall - 8..75 (Average, rounded to 9 for poll)
