I'll use Rock music as an example in this post, but the same is true for Hip Hop:
On any rock album, the first track is killer, "Detroit Rock City", "Black Dog", "Welcome to the Jungle", "Back in the Saddle"...the list goes on forever.
It is interesting that even if you take a weak album from a good band, the first track is still really good. Like "The Oath" on the horrible KISS "Elder" album is still a good song. Queen's "Innuendo" is a great track on a weak album. "Presence" is the weakest Zep album, but the opener, "Achelies Last Stand" is as good as their best.
So the question is...is there a single album, hip hop or rock, where the lead track just totally sucks?
