Your reaction when you first heard the Stillmatic Intro?

[Detroit Wave]

i remember the day the album dropped and my pops bought it for me (i was 12 at the time)


my favorite album until then was I Am so when pops came through with Stillmatic i ran to my room to play it

then i put that cd in and heard that intro i was like

 

[UserNameless]

"Ayyo, the brother's stillmatic
I crawled up out of that grave, wipin' the dirt, cleanin' my shirt
They thought I'd make another illmatic
But it's always forward, I'm movin'

Never backwards stupid here's another classic..."

 

[Wild self]

What a heavenly intro from a legendary sample.

It is one of the greatest comebacks in history and I repeated that track dozens of the times before the next track....

....then I heard "fukk Jay-Z"

 

[mr.africa]

love it to this day!!
incredible!

 

[Diondon]

[Buckeye Fever]

shyt, i bet even Jay was like

 

[Anti-Anime]

"I seen it all, did it all, most of yall been pop for a minute, spit a sentence then the game will get rid of yall "

 

[Urbanmiracle]

as soon as the beat drops... You knew Nas had that fire...

Hate to cease y'all plan
It's the rap repo man

[PIFF101]

Stillmatic intro

 

[Surreal]

"I seen it all, did it all, most of yall been pop for a minute, spit a sentence then the game will get rid of yall "

The most important song of his career. That line..no truer words in the music world/life

 

[erker]

Song was a megahit back in the day



As for the intro i admit i skipped it first listen just because it said intro


I didnt hear it until days later of having the album

I was unimpressed when I found out the barking dogs were not part of the official songs .

True shyt. Til this day i still think the barking dogs added another grimey element to the beats and was thrown when i first heard it without the dogs.
