Best album intro?

[KingJay]

Came in here just to say this

 

[Dad]

A thug changes
And love changes

And best friends become strangers

 

[Ohene]

I coward dies a thousand times. A soldier dies but once

doesnt count
the actual intro is amazing to me even if there isnt any rapping
dope ass beat/concept with the news broadcasts

 

[TheDarceKnight]

A thug changes
And love changes

And best friends become strangers

How did it take that long for The Message to pop up?

Last One

Damn that's a good one.

I like these ones too.

What's the difference between the first song on the album and an intro?

I'd say if the 1st track has no vocals and is just a skit or something like that, then I wouldn't count it in this thread. For example, I posted Beware by Big Pun, which is actually the 2nd track on Capital Punisment, but IMO it's still the intro song, because track 1 is just this (which is still very dope)

 

[Take It In Blood]

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

Ambitionz As A Ridah

 

[TheDarceKnight]

This threads been made a 1000 times but I’ll say it again the dmx it’s dark and hell is hot intro.



there’s a couple others but this one comes to mind everytime as the first thought.

Classic as it gets. And P in your avatar made me think of this. This intro is one of my favorites because I thought it was cool how they flipped the script and opened up with something deeper and more introspective instead of just a banger.


Also obviously...

 

[Kool]

The Chronic

 

[big bun]

 

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Always the first to come to mind.

 

[jilla82]

I love a intro w/ the beat playing and they just talking shyt...first thing came to mind was Rza and Gza talking on W (someone already posted that).

Plies intros are super underrated.

 

[Evil Grandson]

Dynasty Intro
Tha Mobb

in that order

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

Pretty dope selections so far. Good thread.

But how the fukk was this not posted?



The way that shyt seemlessly flows into Nutmeg after the narrator says "....and, as IRONMAN!"


Also wanna add:

 

[DarkandHellisHot]

Makaveli's verbal assault on Mobb Sleep, Notorious P.I.G., and several other New York rappers. JAY-Z from "Hawaiian Sophie" fame, Big Little whatever, and several other corny-sounding motherfukkers are understandably shaken up by this release
