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?

Third Story: Brenda's Got a Baby
My scores:
Narrative - It's a decently put together story, nothing extremely intricate but the narrative is there. 8
Clarity - Its crystal clear. 10
Storytelling - It's almost conversational in the way its told and it's one of the more meaningful stories we hear in rap. 9
Creativity - Nothing strikes me as very creative. It's a good story, but its basic. 7
Overall - 8.5 (Average score, rounded to 9 for poll)
