"Da Art of Storytellin' (Pt. 1)" is the third and final single from hip-hop duo Outkast's third studio album Aquemini. The song was released as a single on May 25, 1999, but failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked 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 absent 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 is sampled in J. Cole's song "Land of the Snakes" from his studio album Born Sinner.
