"'Da Art of Storytellin' (Pt. 1)'" is the third and final single to be released from hip-hop duo Outkast's third studio album 'Aquemini'. It was released as a single in May 25, 1999, but failed to chart on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, but it managed to peak at #67 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Only the single version of the song features Slick Rick, with his verse completely cut from the album version. This song is not to be confused with Slick Rick's album 'The Art of Storytelling', released on the same day. This song was sampled in J. Cole's song "Land of the Snakes" from his album 'Born Sinner'.
"Da Art of Storytellin' (Pt. 1)" is widely considered one of Outkast's best songs. In 2020, 'The Ringer' ranked the song number nine on their list of the 50 greatest Outkast songs, and in 2021, 'The Guardian' ranked the song number four on their list of the 20 greatest Outkast songs.
