Not first 4 bars but first 2 bars. And not necessarily the actual words that are spit but moreso HOW its delivered as far as flow/cadence. I LOVE when rappers confidently and cleverly open a verse with a dope opening 2 bars flow wise. I love when they complete an entire thought in the first 2 bars. I think T.I & Wale are the best at this.

Some of my favorites:

I'm on my grind Grand Hustle/
Got the mind and the muscle/
50carats in da crown just to shine on you suckuz:wow: -T.I "A.S.A.P"

I was listening to "Game Related" the other day and B-Legit started off his verse on this song so cold. I'll play his part 20 times before I listen to the rest of the song.


I swear I can rewind a dope opening 2-4 bars for 10 straight mins before listening to the rest of the song:dead:
