Album Openers
Published by Sais August 31st, 2008 in Album OpenersGonna do a little thing from time to time about Album openers. First tracks of rapping on albums that stand out to me. Came across this and decided to post.
Big Pun had to write this —
The rhyme scheme totally changed up. bonkers.
Or he coulda just been in the zone at this time. Either way classic opener to a album

Yea, uhh
Yo its the don of rap, sippin cognac, hit you on the back
With the mac (clak clak) slip you into cardiac
Its the art of rap at the illest form
From a killers point of view, who thrives off the area jealous ones
You could tell its on from my introduction
Hibernate the junction with killin somethin when you was barely dumpin
You aint even nuttin to worry about
I flurried your mouth, with about thirty right in front of your house
Then Im hurryin out in the expedition, professional hit men
The vestibule shit from the credible disses
Federals is listenin to my conversations, tapin all the songs Im makin
Shakin down every ounce of my congregation
John blazin, raisin the stakes, changin your fate
Tied up in my basement with a gauge in your face
Make no mistake, thats how I do my thing
Blow out a lot of brains, Im sayin, its not a game
I feel like i posted this back in the day but I dunno if i was just thinking about it. . oh well.
As much as that’s a good track, it doesn’t top my favorite “album-opener” of all time
