[goldenja]

the baby crying in this makes me feel like the birth of hip hop

 

[CoolJoe]

I'd say it's between The Dynasty Intro, The Prelude, and that DMX Intro, can't believe I forgot about that shit.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

I forget about the Prelude until I hear it. Dynasty, Prelude >>>>>>>>>>

:::waits for someone to give me a wack for it:::

Uh, you know I still run with that, that blood of a slave

Boiling in my veins

It's just hot until a nigga can't take it no more

Blood of a slave, Heart of a King

Turn my voice up

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

C-Notes is falling from the sky

By now the credits roll starring Nas executive poet, produced, directed by

The Kid slash Escobar

Narration describes the lives and laws tribes in the ghetto trying to survive

The feature opens with this young black child

Finger scratch, cigarette burns on the sofa, turning the TV down

Mary Jane girls, 45's playing, soft in the background

Poof from C-Town's mornings was hash browns

Stepped over dope fiends, walking out the door, all of us paw

I learned the difference between the snitches, the real ones, and who's soft

And the murderous, hungriest crews

People jumping from roofs, shotguns pumping made it through my youth

Walking very thin lines, ages seven and nine

That's the age I was on my album cover, this is the rebirth

I know the streets thirst water like Moses

Walking through the hot desert searching to be free

This is my end and my new beginning Nostalgia

Alpha and Omega places, it's like a glitch in the matrix

I seen it at all, did it all, most of y'all been pop for a minute

Spitters, sinners and the game get rid of y'all

Y'all got there but y'all didn't get it all, I want my style back

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

To them double up hustlers, bidders, niggas who real

Professionals, stick up child's dreaming for meals

Let my words guide you, get inside you

From Crips to Pirus this is survival

Blood of a Slave, Heart of a King

Blood of a Slave, Heart of a King

Uh, uh Blood of a Slave, Heart of a King

Uh, yea

Huh, Braveheart

C/S.....easily Jay best intro.....

The game's fucked up

Nigga's beats is banging, nigga your hooks did it

Your lyrics didn't and your gangster look did it

So I would write it if y'all could get it

Being intricate'll get you wood, critic

On the Internet, they like you should spit it

I'm like you should buy it, nigga that's good business

Hehe, forget this rap shit I need a new hustle

A little bit of everything, the new improved Russell

I say that reluctantly cause I do struggle

As you see I can't leave so I do love you

But I'm just a hustler disguised as a rapper

In fact you can't fit this hustle inside of a wrapper

Back when crack was

What these pills are, I was a real star

Complete with real, cars, no video ones

You can come and set up a camera, let the video run

And my real life, complete with real, ice

VVS boulders oh they're visibly set

Head and shoulders, my invisible neck

You see Hova, wasn't digital yet

Befo' Steve Jobs, made the iPod

Was getting head, jobs, we call that intimate

Back when rappers wouldn't dare play lyrical roulette

With a automatic weapon I was rapping with a tec

(Fresh) like (Mannie) be, chain like anti-freeze

Shoebox full of cash, dealer man hand me ki's

Pantries full of Arm & Hammer, don't take Nancy Drew to see

what it do, I'm a damn G

Just sent a million dollars through a hands free

That's big money talk, can you answer me?

Before the answer was a 3

I was down in Georgetown with a Hoya chick, lawyer chick

Sure he's rich now cause he saw the shit, all this shit

That's why they call him Hov', cause he came before all this shit

Bought a 6, quarter seven, skipped on them quarter eights

Bought a 9 for non-stop glock work all the time

Woo! Guess who's back?

Since this is a new era, got a fresh new hat

Ten year veteran, I've been set

I've been through with this bullshit game but I never quit

I used to think rapping at 38 was ill

But last year alone I grossed 38 mill'

I know I ain't quite 38 but still

The flow so (Special) got a (38) feel

The real is back, hehehehe

This is up there as well

 

[usmarin3]

the Ennis Cosby reference went over most niggas head

 

[The Lonious Monk]

OB4CL intros deserve a mention. It's not that any of them alone are anything special, but they way they are implemented is what gives that cd the cinematic feel it's known for.

 

[CoolJoe]
