First Impressions: The 50 Best Hip-Hop Intro Tracks

10. Eric B. & Rakim – “Follow The Leader”
Produced By Eric B ~ Album: Follow The Leader (1988)

As soon as Eric B’s distorted bass line comes in and that scratch appears it’s clear only classic things could be on the way. It’s amazing to think that MCs like Rakim existed in the ‘80’s. Talk about being head of one’s time.

Follow The Leader was right. Rakim inspired a whole generation of rappers to step their game up and get their lyrics on point.

Memorable Lines:

Follow me into a solo, get in the flow
And you can picture like a photo
Music mix, mellow maintains to make
Melodies for emcees, motivates the breaks
I’m everlasting, I can go on for days and days
With rhyme displays that engrave deep as x-rays
