"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 1999, but failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, although 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. This song was sampled in J. Cole's song, "LAnd of the Snakes" from his album, Born Sinner.
