Dynasty - Intro still gives a nikka chills

Never read the Qu'ran or Islamic scriptures
Only psalms I read was on the arms of my nikkaz
Tattooed so I carry on like I'm non-religious
Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures
nikkaz, say it's the dawn but I'm superstitious
shyt is as dark as it's been, nothin is goin as you predicted
I move with biscuits, stop the heart nikkaz actin too suspicious
This is, food for thought, you do the dishes

:scusthov:
I'm braving temperatures below zero/
no hero/
no father figure/
you got a pardon a niqqa

:wow:

It's an intro because that's the song the artist chose to introduce their album too...

Just cause it doesn't say (intro) doesn't mean it's not an intro.

That last part tells me you clearly misunderstood my post cuz that was what i mentioned doesn't necessarily make it an intro. So you were wrong on that if you thought i think an intro is an intro just cuz it's named intro. I already mentioned that tho. Guess you missed it.

Right, but i still believe there's a difference. Just cuz it starts of with a particular song still doesn't make it an intro. An intro is like a "commercial" IMO. But just cuz a song introduces an album doesn't make it an intro, it's just a song - which we naturally assume is the cut that introduces the album. I just feel it's not tho.

Kendrick Lamar - Sherane

there's Outkast influence all over this song.. (A day in the life of benjamin andre)

both songs are just long verses, with similarish atmospheric beats that reminisce on old girlfriends of the rappers when they were young.

I thinks a great tribute that completely stands on its own as a track.

No lol, that's your OPINION of an intro.

The introductory track to a project is an intro... because it's the song the artist chose to introduce the project...

Ambitionz of a Rider doesn't sound like a traditional album intro but who says Pac has to make an intro like everybody else? It's a fitting song for the beginning cause it sets the tone of project.

IMO i think there's a difference between an intro and a "intro".

Just cuz a song is the first listed song on the album doesnt neccessarily make it an intro IMO. DMX's "Intro" is an intro. Not cuz of the name but it's clearly a song meant to build up the rest of the album, hence how the song is orchestrated. "Ambitionz Az A Ridah" isn't really an intro IMO. It's just the first song on the album. Songs like "A Million And One Questions" by Jay-Z is an intro, even Pac's "Bomb First" is an intro & so on.

I don't think look at it that way most of the time tho. People just assume cuz a song is the first cut it automatically makes it an intro.

Who said anything about "having to make an intro" like everybody else? What is you on about? It seems like you just fiendin to be "right" so you just take my stuff and make up a bunch of shyt i never said.

Of course its my opinon - hence all the "IMO" and it coming from my post.

But technically i still feel it's wrong. But maybe there is a difference between an intro - actual intro, cuz that's what i think the thread was about no? and just a introduction. I know intro is short for introduction but i just feel there 2 different things.

So maybe i (or u) should wonder why certain artist name their actual intros & outros that or with ( ), and the ones who dont. Again, not saying the name makes it an intro/outro, but there's gotta be a reason to, no?

I'll do that when you re-read when i said "naming it intro makes it an intro" - even though i CLEARLY kept saying over and over that it doesn't necessarily make it one.

But i'll bet you'll skip that one too lol
