My top 5:


JAY-Z: Reasonable Doubt 'Pain in the *@!' intro/ "Can't Knock The Hustle"

GHOSTFACE KILLAH: Ironman intro/ "Iron Maiden"

KANYE WEST: Graduation "Good Morning"

BEANIE SIGEL: The Reason "Nothing Like It"

PUFF DADDY AND THE FAMILY (lol, I miss that name lol): No Way Out "Victory"




As far as Outros go, nothing will ever top those old Ursula Rucker poems at the end of their early albums.
 
Cam'Ron-Killa Cam intro off Killa Season... Skipped ahead to 1:30(no disrespect to .40)

Handsome hoods, pretty thugs, but we grimy dun
Cars, cribs, money, had to find me some
Zeke right behind me dun dun, he play by all the rules
That's why the house is his, the cars, all the jewels
 
Common- Be Intro
Nas-Illmatic-The Genesis
Jay-z RD-Can't Knock the hustle
Fat Joe-All Or Nothing-Intro
Kanye- Good Morning
 
Too lazy to think of 5 right now but Weezy's "Fly In" "Carter II" and "Fly Out" on Tha Carter II are def appreciated. Felt itbelonged in this thread since they are somewhat intro/interlude/outros.
 
Stillmatic Intro.

"Blood of a Slave, Heart of a King"


Ayo, the brother is "Stillmatic"
I crawled up out of that grave, wiping the dirt, cleaning my shirt
They thought I'll make another "Illmatic"
But it's always forward I'm moving
Never backwards stupid here's another classic

Jay-Z-The Dynasty intro is G.O.A.T. imo
"The theme song to The Sopranos,
plays in the key of life on my, mental piano
Got a strange way of seein life like
I'm Stevie Wonder with, beads under the doo-rag,
Intuition is there even when my vision's impaired"

Thank you. I was reading these and I was so surprised that no one cited the intro from "It's Dark and Hell is Hot."
5 that come to mind are:
1. Jay-Z - Dynasty Intro
2. DMX - Its Dark and Hell is Hot intro
3. Nas - Stillmatic intro
4. Lil Wayne - Walk In/ Carter intro
5. Notorious B.I.G. - Ready To Die intro and it's transition into Things Done Changed
(C'mon, they robbed the subway)

*Honorable mention as pointed out earlier goes to: Cormega - Beautiful Mind (even though its not an intro)
Cormega used an oversaturated beat, but made it his own and didnt disgrace the Smif N Wesson ft. Mary J, which is a classic.
