A lot of artists fail to realize the beauty in crafting a song. The first words you utter out will either resonate with your listeners or simply go one ear out the other. A jaw-dropping opener can significantly bolster one’s chances of killing a verse and maintaining a listener’s interest. Only a few have successfully grasped this concept of creating the most poignant opening lines. Take a gander and see who penned the meanest opening lines ever. Only real hip-hop heads will know these first liners.

Lyrics: While others spit that Wonderama sh**, me and my conglomerate
Shall remain anonymous, caught up in the finest sh**
Live out my dreams until my heart give out
Involved with cream, you know exactly what this sh**’s about

I used to read Word Up! magazine

Hangin’ pictures on my wall
