I put this together some time ago because I wanted to illustrate just how dope a mood-setting intro to a Hip-Hop album could be when a producer chooses to steer a bit to the left. De La Soul’s “The Future” (The Grind Date), The Foreign Exchange’s “Title Theme” (Connected) and Little Brother’s “Welcome to the Minstrel Show.” They manage to be a little cinematic without the pretense and are easily within the top tracks of their respective albums.
