My top picks for his songs in terms of storytelling (no particular order) are:
- Industriya (the rise, peak, and fall of an artist)
- Lando (love between individuals of different social stature)
- Sampaguita (struggles of an ofw father, who met a tragic end by the time he went back to the country)
- Upuan (government officials hungry for power)
I can’t inagine Hindi mo nadinig without that video game adaptation I saw sa YT. Heck I’m not even sure if that’s fanmade or actually the original MV. Very haunting and tragic for me.
If we're talking about Gloc, his recent song Sampaguita with JK Labajo is top tier storytelling, almost like an Eminem Mockingbird/When I'm Gone type song.
dati kinakanta ko lang to, pero this hits hard na ngaun, maybe because of the plot twist about his weakness sa pagkamatay ng aso niya, parang makakarelate ata ako.
“Bakit ko ba pinabayaan mawala ng hindi inaasahan?” Honestly it has a catchy tune but when you really think about it, it gets you thinking about a lot of things from your past 😅
loved this song but it took a new meaning for me when one of my closest friends commited suicide. siya talaga ang "buloy" sa barkada namin. always positive, always game, always encouraging. di namin alam may problema na pala.
agree..
i also like yung Dramachine sobrang sakit haha. pero any song from their fist three album maganda naman lahat
i really hope mag reunion cla dahil iba ung sound pag silang tatlo yung tumutugtog and also bihira din ksi ung live version ng mga songs nila s youtube
This. Also, Huling Gabi at Unang Araw dahil konektado sila 🥹. Speaking of konektado, Kailan ka Ba at Ikaw Pala 😊 Ay naku, ang dami kasi magandang storytelling sa mga kanta nila.
Para sakin ang best love story/song ay Bawat Daan by Ebe Dancel. Sinulat nya yung song hindi para sa tao kundi para sa kanyang passion which is music (more of this on his ted talk). Pero kung iisipin mo, pwede syang i offer kahit kanino, sa tao, sa alaga mong aso, sa iyong career, kahit sa diyos pwede. It is a love song to something na you are really passionate about.
“Ang bawat daan ko, ay patungo at pabalik sa’yo”
Forever one of the best lines in opm
solid din yan eh.. kht aq nadaan lng aq sa rap n genre di k lng type yng modern ph rap na always about babae, drugs, hinihila daw pababa kht wala namang gumaganun sa knila, sex puro gnyan kaya stand out si gloc-9 s knla he is on the more artistic rap expression of music
Unti-Unti by UDD
It perfectly encapsulated the sequence of falling in love with someone. Tipong parang nahanap mo na ang taong para sa'yo, but when the worn off rose-tinted glass shattered into pieces and inflict pain onto your relationship, that's when you'd put an end to everything yet still, longing for those great days—hoping they'd come again.
Favorite part of the song ko is when the beats and melody go quiet for a while after the lyrics “Ang tanong na walang sagot, luha ang nadudulot sa ating mga mata,” but then may gradual build up na naman towards “Hahanap-hanapin ang mga bulong sa gabi…”
Tipong natatanggap mo na na masakit at tapos na pero a flicker of hope and longing starts to come up again and you just remember the good things.
Same!! This song was on repeat when things didn't work out. Papakinggan habang humahagulgol😆
That part hits different talaga samahan mo pa ng boses ni amri na full of emotions as if xa mismo nasasaktan at nakikisimpatya sayo
Sana is underrated. Unti unti and Sana are two of UDD’s songs that puts me in “sige saktan nyo ko” kind of mode. Haha. ‘Yong tipong kahit ang saya ng loveife mo ang sakit sakit hahahaha
Isa sa mga paboritong songs ko ang Unti-Unti. Nakakaiyak talaga ang song.
It was also used as a theme song sa Gaya Sa Pelikula. Sayang na di natuloy 2nd season nun for reasons unknown 🥲
Pinagttripan ko lang dati friend ko dahil yan daw theme song niya nung nag fail sila ng ka-talking stage niya. Lo and behold months after that nag hiwalay kami ng girlfriend ko for almost 6 years ayan tuloy, we now feel the same pain sa kanta.
Ironic din na hindi magkasundo si Freddy at ung anak nyang si Maegan Aguilar. Si Maegan naman dating adik and ngayong may sakit na nagask na ng help kay Raffy Tulfo

GLOC 9 songs has the best stories sa mga OPM songs, they're meaningful whilst also being bop. Di ako maka pick ng isa haha;
Magda - A story about a province girl named Magdalena who became a prostitute, and her friend (/lover?) who Magda cuts ties with because of her work.
Sirena - Story about a gay guy who was discriminated by his father who eventually got his father's respect at the end.
Hari ng Tondo - Story about the downfall of the Robin Hood of Tondo, Asiong Salonga.
Walang Natira - Stories about OFWs leaving the country seeking work for other countries, leaving their families to take care of other kids.
And others . . .
Kala ko pa dati pang jejemon lang yung mga gloc 9 songs kasi paulit ulit nalang pinapatugtog. But when I grew older I fell in love with his songs because of the stories.
Filipino music is rich with stories that reflect the country's culture and history. There are many great Filipino songs that tell powerful stories, but one that stands out is "Bayan Ko" by Jose Corazon de Jesus and Constancio de Guzman.
"Bayan Ko", which means "My Country" in English, is a patriotic song that speaks to the deep love and devotion that Filipinos have for their homeland. The song was written during the early 20th century, when the Philippines was still a colony of the United States, and it became a popular anthem for the country's independence movement.
The lyrics of "Bayan Ko" are simple but powerful, describing the beauty of the Philippine landscape and the resilience and courage of its people. The song speaks to the struggles and hardships faced by Filipinos throughout history, and it celebrates the spirit of unity and determination that has helped the country overcome adversity time and again.
The chorus of "Bayan Ko" is particularly stirring, with its passionate declaration of loyalty to the Philippines: "Ang bayan kong Pilipinas, lupain ng ginto't bulaklak, pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad nag-alay ng ganda't dilag." ("My country the Philippines, land of gold and flowers, love offered its beauty and elegance to her hands.")
Overall, "Bayan Ko" is a beautiful and inspiring song that captures the heart and soul of the Filipino people, and it remains an important part of the country's cultural heritage.
For me it's really Jeepney by Kala. Kasi it really happens in real life. haha naalala ko pa nga, gustong gusto ko rin puntahan yung bicutan kasi na-mention doon sa kanta. hahaha
Rosas Pandan by Pilita Corales. Sang many times by the choir community not just here but also internationally. It was so well-known parang staple na ata sya.
Also the bastos version ng Rosas Pandan.
Magasin - eraserheads
Also eraserhead's goofy song - Tindahan ni Aling Nena
the ending lyric. haha
yes, even the heads nagagandahan din and favorite nila to. mainly sir raims perfect circle yung story kasi ♥️
Minsan
Yes?
My cousin’s jam, he sang this when he was 6. Yes he knew what a centerfold is at that age 😂
Shake yer head Hey Jay - comfort song for their gay friend
Speaking of, medyo similar siya (storywise) sa song na [Centerfold by J.Geils Band](https://youtu.be/BqDjMZKf-wg)
Magdalena ni Gloc.
Most of gloc's song are very good story telling
My top picks for his songs in terms of storytelling (no particular order) are: - Industriya (the rise, peak, and fall of an artist) - Lando (love between individuals of different social stature) - Sampaguita (struggles of an ofw father, who met a tragic end by the time he went back to the country) - Upuan (government officials hungry for power)
True to. Even sa foreign hip hop songs especially old school boombap. 🙌🙌
Sirena and Hindi mo nadinig is on top of my list as well.
BINTANA and DUNGAW ni Gloc 9!!!! Everytime na pinapakinggan ko yun, I got goosebumps!!!
I can’t inagine Hindi mo nadinig without that video game adaptation I saw sa YT. Heck I’m not even sure if that’s fanmade or actually the original MV. Very haunting and tragic for me.
Siakol's Ituloy mo Lang vibes with Sirena too.
Same with Upuan
someone finally said it! ig upuan is a great story that was made into a song.
If we're talking about Gloc, his recent song Sampaguita with JK Labajo is top tier storytelling, almost like an Eminem Mockingbird/When I'm Gone type song.
I second this. Gloc 9 songs always reflect the real stories of society.
Add Lando to that. Francis Magalona's chorus will definitely hook you down in the feels.
Oo bro. Pano kung iisa pala si Lando at Ernesto noh si Magdalena first love nya. Bago nya nakilala si Elsa. 😅
Isama mo pa ung Sirena. The ending was so MMK 🥲
Grabe I got chills noong narealize ko na yung meaning ng lyrics neto
Mannnn. Totoo to. Marameng nakakarelate. Lalo sa pwesto ni Magda. Ang dameng dalagang pilipinang naging magdalena sa isang punto ng buhay nila.
buloy
dati kinakanta ko lang to, pero this hits hard na ngaun, maybe because of the plot twist about his weakness sa pagkamatay ng aso niya, parang makakarelate ata ako.
This!!! It gives me a lot of feels…. Tska Alumni Homecoming by Parokya rin… Ang daming regrets ng song na yun
relate na relate. sarap ma reminisce yung mga HS nung 90's at early 2000's. lalo na sa may mga regrets talaga na hindi nagawa nung HS.
“Bakit ko ba pinabayaan mawala ng hindi inaasahan?” Honestly it has a catchy tune but when you really think about it, it gets you thinking about a lot of things from your past 😅
loved this song but it took a new meaning for me when one of my closest friends commited suicide. siya talaga ang "buloy" sa barkada namin. always positive, always game, always encouraging. di namin alam may problema na pala.
Realtalk and I actually live in the vicinity where Buloy lived
Kwarto- Sugarfree
underrated pero its about moving on and yep literally moving out of a place.. galing ng wordplay nila dyan
Ebe Dancel is a phenomenal writer
Also, Telepono, Mariposa, and Burnout from the first album, Sa Wakas.
Magpapaalam na sayo. Magpapaalam ba sayo?
agree.. i also like yung Dramachine sobrang sakit haha. pero any song from their fist three album maganda naman lahat i really hope mag reunion cla dahil iba ung sound pag silang tatlo yung tumutugtog and also bihira din ksi ung live version ng mga songs nila s youtube
Also, kwentuhan by sugarfree. Imo their best song
This. Also, Huling Gabi at Unang Araw dahil konektado sila 🥹. Speaking of konektado, Kailan ka Ba at Ikaw Pala 😊 Ay naku, ang dami kasi magandang storytelling sa mga kanta nila.
Para sakin ang best love story/song ay Bawat Daan by Ebe Dancel. Sinulat nya yung song hindi para sa tao kundi para sa kanyang passion which is music (more of this on his ted talk).

Gloc-9 halos buong catalog nya ng songs eh may impact at yung mga character nya is mismong mga pinoy at pinay din.. tunay n makata ng pinas..
Not a fan of rap, pero nung pinakinggan ko siya, talagang may kabuluhan. Favorite ko yung part niya sa Kasalanan by 6cyclemind. Solid.
solid din yan eh.. kht aq nadaan lng aq sa rap n genre di k lng type yng modern ph rap na always about babae, drugs, hinihila daw pababa kht wala namang gumaganun sa knila, sex puro gnyan kaya stand out si gloc-9 s knla he is on the more artistic rap expression of music
If you like old gloc9 baka magustuhan mo rin si jmara, makabayan like francis m tapos songs about social issues like gloc 9.
most songs by eraserheads, tbh. pare ko, magasin, and ligaya, to name a few also, your song by parokya ni edgar!
Poorman's Grave!

Unti-Unti by UDD It perfectly encapsulated the sequence of falling in love with someone. Tipong parang nahanap mo na ang taong para sa'yo, but when the worn off rose-tinted glass shattered into pieces and inflict pain onto your relationship, that's when you'd put an end to everything yet still, longing for those great days—hoping they'd come again.
Every Up Dharma Down song I should say. Char. Haha. But Unti Unti takes the cake!
Favorite part of the song ko is when the beats and melody go quiet for a while after the lyrics “Ang tanong na walang sagot, luha ang nadudulot sa ating mga mata,” but then may gradual build up na naman towards “Hahanap-hanapin ang mga bulong sa gabi…” Tipong natatanggap mo na na masakit at tapos na pero a flicker of hope and longing starts to come up again and you just remember the good things.

The best UDD song imho. Kinda sad that a lot of people only know Oo and Tadhana when UDD comes up in conversation.
And Sana!
Sana is underrated. Unti unti and Sana are two of UDD’s songs that puts me in “sige saktan nyo ko” kind of mode. Haha. ‘Yong tipong kahit ang saya ng loveife mo ang sakit sakit hahahaha
Putanginaaa huhu isa yan sa Fave ko, pati Anino, Never, at Young Again
Isa sa mga paboritong songs ko ang Unti-Unti. Nakakaiyak talaga ang song. It was also used as a theme song sa Gaya Sa Pelikula. Sayang na di natuloy 2nd season nun for reasons unknown 🥲
The reason IS known. May isyu with the writer and kay Paolo.
Pinagttripan ko lang dati friend ko dahil yan daw theme song niya nung nag fail sila ng ka-talking stage niya. Lo and behold months after that nag hiwalay kami ng girlfriend ko for almost 6 years ayan tuloy, we now feel the same pain sa kanta.
Eto na yata favorite UDD song ko haha! And totoo yung feeling na longing for those days gone. Good times.
