I used to replay that over and over to hear those bass lines.

I'd even include The Neighborhood (from Nobody Smilin') and A Penny for my Thoughts (from Can I Borrow a Dollar ?) personally, although I assume those two (and maybe a couple others I *did* list) aren't as praiseworthy to others as they are to me.

53. "The Reason I Didn't Like That They Used That As The First Song..." In response to Reply # 7
...cause "In The House" was originally off Eddie F.'s & The Untouchables compilation "Let's Get It On" which came out earlier that year; but I guess me being so into hip-hop at the time I was one of the few who even heard of that album so when "Main Ingredient" dropped it "In The House" was the first time they heard the song while I heard it plenty of times.

I usually skip skits but this Intro is pretty much how skits should be done with the way it blends into the first song which has the sickest beat Wyclef ever made

41. "My Kanye top 10 would be about half College Dropout songs " In response to Reply # 35
The cool kids say that album is dated while talking up some weird, pretentious bullshit that he made later on. I say that CD is easily his most timeless work largely because it’s relatable. We Don’t Care set that album off lovely.

54. "Hi-Tek "Scratch Rappin'"" In response to Reply # 0
I'm a sucker for album intros with instrumentals or a DJ doing some scratching at the beginning, so when Hi-Tek's album "Hi-Teknology" starts off it gets me so hyped with that neck snappin' beat then the scratching montage that Premier would do type stuff is how I always feel an intro to a rap album should start off.

55. "Slum Village "Fantastic 1"" In response to Reply # 0
C'mon every version of "Fantastic" is just so infamous, like Baatin says "write up a scroll on da hoe when she don't act right"; the chorus to it should be like an OKP group anthem..."IT'S FANN TASS TIC!".

The intro to their album "1984" is also the name of the intro, with those spacey synth keys is so epic, it's basically sounds like the intro the song "Jump" but it's still a dope way to start off an album.

Such a dope run to start an album. And even more impressive considering the change in tone Stakes is High had relative to their first 3 albums, which were more playful.
64. "Rhythm Nation - Janet. That intro let you know " In response to Reply # 0
that Jam and Lewis were NOT playing around. Then when Janet comes in? Set the scene for the rest of that album (and set the scene for the peak heights of her career over the next couple albums.)
