I wish I had a time machine to go back to when this album first dropped and peep the reaction of Real Headz listening to Prodigy drop this intro. Were they thinking:A) "Daaaaaaymn - Real Talk???!!!"B) "Wait a minute, isn't this Mobb Deep, aka those "Hit 'Em From The Back" kids? WTF?"C) "What's wrong with that crazy space shit? I like crazy space rapping that makes no sense!

    My reaction was #2. It just seemed like a weird flip around from a group that seemed to have more in common with Juvenile Committee and Da Youngstaz to suddenly thug it out hard. But I also wasn't in NYC so I've always been curious what local reaction was, especially since "The Infamous" has become so celebrated (and rightfully so).

    Ah. Real Headz = NYC only? Probably so, son.

    right. hence the over-the-top protestations e.g. "no we ARE hard. please do not get us confused with those that are NOT hard. that is not us. we, on the contrary, ARE hard. please believe us."

    ultimately the album was a heatrock and I still listen to it regularly to this day so it doesn't really matter.

    most album intros are garbage anyway. highly skippable.

    highly skippable.

    are you talking about this intro specifically? this is a classic

    OK it has its place, but you really sit through this everytime you listen to the album? for me it's like shark biters; I listen to it every tenth time I listen to the album maybe.

    Dude. Next you're going to tell us you skip the "Where My Killa Tape At?" skit too.

    Pffffffff...
