We need to have a serious conversation about where The Pressure stands amongst Nas’s greatest intro tracks.
This shyt bangs SO HARD and sets the album off SO RIGHT it’s ridiculous. Its gotta be up there in the realm with Stillmatic Intro and Get Down.
You can’t touch The Genesis , even though its not a “song” its an iconic introduction to the Hip Hop canon that is Illmatic.
I’d put it over Money Over Bullshyt, Not For Radio, and Kings Disease. The debate is does it get the nod over No Introduction & Queens Get The Money (and Doo Rags if you count Lost Tapes) to be in the same class with Stillmatic Intro and Get Down?
Kings Disease off KD1 is ahead of Pressure in my book. Nas never misses with the intros
