***The Best Hip-Hop/Rap Intro Songs***

[alchemist iq]

Beats, Rhymes, and Life...Is what sets the tone of the album, what the artist introduces to his direction of his whole entire album to the very last BPM.�Enough talk, post yours.

 

[green rhino123]

First track off Masta Ace 'Slaughtahouse.' Split track.
Insight along with classic gangsta rap parody.

 

[aircommandermarsfiend]

I like Stillmatic.

It really does set the tone of the entire album.

 

[mideastbeast]

Liquid Swords

 

[airbornho]

I'm real partial to the bass drop from the intro on "Be".

 

[rwfanatic]

I'm not gonna say that they were the best of all time or nothing like that but back in the late 90s-early 00s the Cash Money intros were indeed the +@$@

Much respect to you sir, I was going to post the video(song) but couldn't find it.
Its definitely a classic track.

look at the attributes of the song from Pandora.com,
midwest rap roots
basic rap roots
a poetic rap delivery
chill rhymin'
clean lyrics
dark & deep beats
a tight kick sound
an acoustic bass riff
use of strings
an electric guitar solo
a dry recording sound
radio friendly stylings
thin orchestration
production and lyrics by famous rap artists

VOL.3 IN THE LIFE AND TIMES OF S.CARTER

"Yeah, I know you just ripped the packaging off your CD
If you like me you readin the credits right now
If you in your car, I don't care if it's winter
I want you to put all your windows down
Zone out, buckle up, let's go

Hello it's Hova; that's right young'un the wait is over
The new millineum is upon us, the album is here
Before we get into the %$+@, let's get a few things clear
Rappers with no relation:
there's "Seven Degrees of Seperation" and I'm Kevin Bacon
This is the murderer's version
Jigga the %$+@, even when he rhyme in third person
Hova the God, I should be rappin with turban
Haters can't disturb him, waiters can't serve him
Mike Jordan of rap - outside J workin
Now watch how quickly I drop 50
I don't like playin, %@#%!% can't stick me
%@#%!% can not jam me, %@#%!% can't get me
Slimmy at the Rucka wanna leave and spend with me
I consistantly take em out the park like Ken Griffey
Do you believe? It's Hova the God"
