it's on the album, right?
Back when skip buttons were relevant my skip button stayed factory fresh. I don't even dislike the song, but I don't skip songs I don't like. I'll just be less likely to listen to an album with songs I don't like.

I think it's the perfect intro to the album. Gets you in a wu-state of mind. It is too long though. Not really a track you want to play when you're sitting in front of a computer.

Don't forget about the GZA ad-libs. Totally underrated part of that skit. "Quit making that wack shit!"

32. "Reunited was not the best opening-song IMO..." In response to Reply # 22
It felt like the intro just continued in a way even if I like the violin-riff and there are some cool lines from the mc's. Still, "For heaven's sake" is the true beginning to me and also the only song on the entire album except possibly "Triumph" that I think could hang with the best previous stuff from the Wu and the solos...
27. "I can't listen to that shit" In response to Reply # 0
And that's family! There is nothing to be gained by listening to that other than learning that Poppa Wu is calling his black woman a bitch. Well he does kinda quote the 1-10 but hell who wants to sit through that on an album?

40. "I've Always Hated Long Ass Talking Intros On Rap Albums" In response to Reply # 0
That's probably why I'm always skipping all of Busta Rhymes' intros as well, but he always come thru on the second part of his intros, so basically I just skip forward halfway thru it then bam, a dope Dj Scratch beat starts to thump.
Speaking of intros and Busta, I skip the first song "Geek Down" on J-Dilla's "The Shining as well, that joint was too damn long for Busta to be yelling & cursing with that lame sample loop.
