![]() Jay's opening verse was so wicked, it created a trend rappers trying emulate the “Dynasty Intro” on their own albums. This was food for thought from Jigga, who left you to do the dishes after blessing you with a four course meal. Over Just Blaze's eerie instrumental, Jay blacks out, raising questions about his religious beliefs: “Never read the Koran or Islamic scriptures/Only psalms I read was on the arms of my niggas/Tattoos, so I carry on like I'm non-religious.” Most rappers would be better off avoiding the whole concept of an album introduction completely.īut every now and again someone cooks up something special, and Jay did just that on the intro to his Dynasty album. It's not uncommon to find painfully unfunny skits, boring narrators, and even blabbering CEOs carrying on about nonsense. Dynasty is Jay-Z working back toward his roots musically, all the while creating. Rap album intros are typically skip-worthy. La Familia is closer, in many ways, to his seminal 1996 debut album, Reasonable Doubt, and his pre-Timbaland days.
