Which Rap Album Has The Best Intro? by superstan(m): 6:50pm On Aug 01, 2008
hello hip-hop lovers,

i was having an argument with my homies yesternight about the best intro to any rap album.

many of us think it is the intro of jay-z's dynasty album while some think stillmatic's intro is the best.

what do you think? thank you. cool

Notorious B.I.G.--------READY TO DIE.

The intro told his story from birth to his street-hustling and to his prison release. grin cheesy
Now that's what i call an INTRO. . . . .

Bone Thugs' E. Eternal in 1995 was also weird.
Some smart production coupled with goth made it classic. wink

50 cent- The masacre
Re: Which Rap Album Has The Best Intro? by chrisical(m): 11:21am On Aug 02, 2008
I wouldn't want to go foreign.But the best intro i have ever heard to a rap album certainly has to be ruggedman's 'naija hiphop 101'.It was marvellous.He melodiously highlighted the basic ingredients an upcoming artiste needs to be successfull.It's great from Ruggedman.






So brutal,when i spit i leave creeps with scars
Astronomers regard me extraordinary coz i rock in planet mars

Re: Which Rap Album Has The Best Intro? by MrCrackles(m): 5:09pm On Aug 04, 2008
I agree with the people saying TALIB KWELI and HI-TEK

Also other spanking ones has to be-

                                                           1) Ghostface Killah-Fishscale
                                                           2) Black Rob-My Life Story
Re: Which Rap Album Has The Best Intro? by wolexf(m): 7:06pm On Aug 04, 2008

Fabolous (Street Dreams)
Bone Thugz (Thug World order) the way the intro integrated into the second track

Whaaaat?! Are y'all trying to tell me no one here has heard the intro to Jay-Z's "Life & Times Of S. Carter, Vol. 3" ?
That's the height of intro making.
Stillmatic's intro is also a classic.
I kinda like Massacre's intro too(hate the album though).
Re: Which Rap Album Has The Best Intro? by MrInfo1(m): 7:19am On Aug 06, 2008

DMX - LORD GIVE ME A SIGN
Re: Which Rap Album Has The Best Intro? by hommie47: 7:48am On Aug 06, 2008
i'd say

modenine - epluribus unum
d intro could beat another rapper's xistence

jay-z kingdom come

50' - the massacre

Young Buck - Straight outta cashville

Kanye West - Graduation; Late Registration

Overdose - Don't Hate
Re: Which Rap Album Has The Best Intro? by Bamsyle(m): 12:16pm On Aug 06, 2008
@Hannibal
Notorious B.I.G.--------READY TO DIE.

u are probably talking about jay-z's worst intro.

dynasty's intro was a classic.

just when rap fans were bopping to dynasty, blueprint's intro smashed dynasty.

looking back, there are so many phat intros out there but what about outros??

what outro can match eminem's encore in 2004. he shot his own fans(priceless) cheesy grin
Re: Which Rap Album Has The Best Intro? by chamotex(m): 2:58am On Aug 08, 2008

Re: Which Rap Album Has The Best Intro? by eldee(m): 1:39pm On Mar 08, 2010
Oh sh[i]i[/i]t . . . forgot to add the Intro of It Ain't Safe No More - Busta.

A girl of about five sees a letter bomb with lyrics of a song and asks to sing it.
At the end a bomb explodes.

Just imagine a girl of five singing this:


Hush other rap for niggas, don't you cry
Flip Mode is back, and you are gonna dye
Now they are niggas and they make it fall good
It can be alot safer, when they move off the hood
It's too late for you to try to call a truce
You tell him and your nigga like the cipher on lose

Better watch your head
You better watch how you talk
Watch me sleep, watch me walk
Always beware of a choice you make
Every time you click every route you take
Crazy shit of you everytime I had to talk
I get really pass, since the fallin' of New York

Now we sayin' shit I never thought we'd say before
You might realize It Ain't Safe No More
[Slower]
If you would realize It Ain't Safe No More
[Even Slower]
If You would realize It Ain't Safe No More.


Bomb explodes.
