[Zero]

The Vol. 3 intro/outro > Dynasty intro

"Hello?" "It's Hova, that's right youngin, the wait is over"

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

Both are tuff but Blood of a Slave / Heart of a King

 

[mson]

Never read the Qu'ran or Islamic scriptures
Only psalms I read was on the arms of my nikkas
Tattooed so I carry on like I'm non-religious
Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures
nikkas say it's the dawn, but I'm superstitious
shyt is as dark as it's been, nothing has gone as you predicted
I move with biscuits, stop the heart of nikkas acting too suspicious
This is food for thought -- you do the dishes

This part right here

No father figure, you gotta pardon a nikka
But I'm starvin my nikkaz, and the weight loss in my figure
is startin to darken my heart, bout to get to my liver
Watch it my nikkaz, I'm tryin to be calm but I'm gon' get richer
through any means, with that thing that Malcolm palmed in the picture

Both PIFF but I'm going with Stillmatic Intro

[Intro]
Uhh, y'know
I still run with that, that blood of a slave, boilin in my veins
It's just hot - until a nikka can't take it no more
Blood of a slave, heart of a King - turn my voice up

[Verse 1: Nas]
'Ay yo, the brother's "Stillmatic"
I crawled up out of that grave, wipin the dirt, cleanin my shirt
They thought I'd make another "Illmatic"
But it's always forward I'm movin
Never backwards stupid here's another classic
C-notes is fallin from the sky, by now the credits roll
They're starrin Nas, executive poet, produced directed by
The Kid slash Escobar; narration describes
The lives of lost tribes in the ghetto tryin to survive
The feature opens with this young black child, fingers scratched
Cigarette burns on the sofa, turnin the TV down
While Mary Jane Girls, 45's playin', soft in the background
Food from C-Town's, mornings was hash browns
Stepped over dopefiends, walkin out the door, all of us poor
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 ending and my new beginning - nostalgia
Alpha and Omega places, it's like a glitch in "The Matrix"
I seen it all, did it all, most of y'all will pop for a minute
Spit a sentence then the game'll 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, nikkas who real
Professionals, stick-up kids dreamin' for mills
Let my words guide you, get inside you
From Crip to Pirus this is survival

Blood of a slave, heart of a King
Blood of a slave, heart of a King
Uhh, uhh, blood of a slave, heart of a King
Uhh, yeah
Huh, Braveheart, uhh..

That shyt is a movie intro

 

[Zero]

Let's just put this in perspective

if it wasn't for the beef, yall never would've gotten the Stillmatic album, much less the intro


Need I remind nikkas of the album that came out prior....

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

Dynasty intro>>>>>>>>


That nikka was gliding all over that track.

 

[Brady-Carter]

Dynasty intro for me. Both are pretty dope.

 

[vaudevillevillain]

Stillmatic intro and it isn't close. I fukking hate the dynasty intro beat. shyt is piercing.

 

[Big Mel]

shrill, metallic piano with a hair band-esque cheese rock guitar riff and a some stock black woman "zu-zu-zu-zu-zu-zu's" don't do it for me. It's like a marginal Dipset beat or some shyt.

 

[Trajan]

Nas my fav rapper but it's the Dynasty intro

 

[FlyRy]

nas stans

the dynasty intro is synonymous with dope intros.
no one gives a fukk about the stillmatic intro other than on message boards

 

[chuckifubuck]

Both are top 5 intros

Stillmatic intro edges it slightly for "blood of a slave/heart of a king" and "lives of lost tribes in the ghetto tryna survives"

That VOL 3 intro was too tho

Mike Jordan of rap outside J/Jay workin
Now watch how quickly I drop 50

Is it too late to add another option?

Edit: fukk it, I'm leaving it.

 

[Wacky D]

darn good thread.

i gotta go with the dynasty intro.

I never understood the fascination behind the Dynasty Intro (what a forgotten album by the way ),

i dont know about the bolded. dynasty is a late '80s baby favorite.

overrated album but still.

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Both are arguably goat intros, so its just a matter of preference,imo.

blood of a slave,heart of a king= This is food for thought you do the dishes.
