First Impressions: The 50 Best Hip-Hop Intro Tracks

20. Chamillionaire – “Sound of Revenge (Intro)”
Produced By The Beat Bullies ~ Album: The Sound of Revenge (2005)

Right at the height of Houston’s chokehold on the rap game, Chamillionaire was on top of the world. He had a chart topping single with “Ridin’” that addressed racial profiling (whether listeners realized that or not is another story) as well as being part of massive H Town movement with the likes of Bun B, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Lil’ Flip, and others.

So right from the jump Cham had to hit us over the head with something bumpin’. Case in point, “The Sound of Revenge (Intro)”.

Listen up.

Memorable Lines:

Yeah, a lightning bolt strikes in the air, yeah, finally it’s here
Cause y’all are the judge, the day of judgement finally is near
In your eye I see a tear, and it’s remindin me of fear
Rap’s been dead so long, so stop denyin what you feel
Dis payback for the fact that y’all ain’t tryin to keep it real
