It's amazing but for an emcee, Biggie was the best at having listeners after his opening bars. Once I sat down and really thought about it, it's insane how many songs he started out so sick. So does any rapper open a song or verse better than Big?:

*It was a all a dream, I use to read word up magazine, Salt and Pepa and Heavy D in the Limousine

*Who the f@ck is this, Paging me at 5:46 in the mornin, crack of dawin, now I'm yawin, wipe the cold out my eyes, see who's this paging me and why

*1st things 1st, I poppa, Freaks all the honeys, Dummies, Playboy Bunnies thoughs wanting money

*Relax and Take Notes, While I take Tokes of the Marijuana Smoke, throw you in a choke, gunsmoke, gunsmoke.

*I was a terror since the public school era, bathroom passes, cutting classes, squeezing asses

*Who Shot Ya, Separate the weak from the obsolete hard to creep those Brooklyn streets.

*Ha Sicker than your average, Poppa twist Cabbage of instinct, n!ggas don't blink sh!t

*Today's Agenda, Got the suitcase up in the Sentra, Go To Room 112, tell em Blaco Sent ya

*Armed in Dangerous, ain't to many can bang wit us, straight up weed no angel dust, label us, Notorious.

*Some say the X makes the Sex Spec-tacular, let me lick from the neck and the back then ya.

*B.I.G. P.O.P.P.A. No Info For the D.E.A., Federal Agents Mad cause I'm flagrant, Tap my cell and the Phone in the Basement

*You wanna sip mo on my Living Room Floor, Play Nintendo with Cease a Leo, Pick up my phone say Poppa not home, sex all night mad Head in the Morn

*When I Die f@ck it I wanna go to Hell, Cause I'm a piece of sh!t it ain't hard to f@ckin Tell.

*I Dreams Filthy, my Moms and Pops mixed me with Jamaican Rum and Whisky, what a set off

*N!ggas in my Fraction, Don't like asking Questions, Strictly Gun Testing, Coke Measuring.

*In the Commission you ask for Permission to Hit em, He don't like me hit em while Wifey was wit em.

*Who the F@ck wanna squeeze, my Desert Ease makes Emcees Freeze, you waking up in Cold Sweats they just dreams

*To all the ladies in the place with style and grace allow me to lace to lyrical duches in ya Bushes

*So you wanna be Hard Core, with the Hat to the back, talking about ya gats and ya raps, but I can't feel that hardcore appeal that your screaming.

*I know how It feels to wake up, F@cked up, Pockets Broke as Hell another Rock to Sell.


Talk about making an entrance.

How you leave out "When the Remy's in the system..." :wow:

LOL, I just wanted to do 20 but I think most of all Biggie's opening lines were dope. But yea, that one is Classic. Ask Hov about that line, lol. Even though he was paying homage to Biz Markie. This opening so so ILL:

"Damn it feels good to see People up on it, Flip to keys in two weeks and didn't flaunt it"

Whats also amazing is based on just the opening lines I can still remember some of those hits word for word after not listening to them in YEARS.....


Truly the Illest......:wow:

Exactly. Prodigy had some good openers too. NaS and Jay have had some also. Most great rappers know how to open a verse. But Big just had to many of them, it was like he had to have his listeners at HELLO.

Big and Pac were definitely the best.

3rd is Pimp C

"Pimp C PA Trill nigg@, Polo fukk that Hilfiger"

"I'm trill working the wheel, a pimp not a simp, keep them dopefiends higher than the Goodyear blimp"

"Uhh.. smokin' out, pourin' up, keepin' lean up in my cup
All my car got leather and wood, in my hood we call it buck"

"This game fukked up
I ain't got no friends
I done spend my last 70,000 dollars on a drop-top benz"

Sweet Jones, in a foreign car, shinin like a muthafukkin superstar
I'm sippin the bar, grippin the grain
I got 17 karats in my piece a chain
I been a young pimp nikka since I was a kid
Mama would be 'shamed of all the things I did

My bytch a choosy lover, never fukk without a rubber
Never in the sheets, like it on top of the cover
Money on the dresser, drive a Kompressor
Top notch hoes get the most, not the lesser
