First Impressions: The 50 Best Hip-Hop Intro Tracks

5. Dr. Dre – “The Watcher”
Produced By Dr. Dre ~ Album: 2001 (1999)

With Dre making his comeback in the late 90’s it’s hard to tell if people knew exactly how massive his return was going to be.

This opening track dictated what kind of album we were about to experience: Dre on the boards as well as the mic spitting about his legacy to the ungrateful and forgetful while telling us of things to come.

Bow down.

Memorable Lines:

Nigga, if you really want to take it there, we can
Just remember that you fucking with a family man
I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that
When you wanna come and fill these shoes
