So I'm thinking about making this the intro track to my upcoming CD. Most of the tracks will have rappin' accompanying the instrumental, but for this particular one I was thinking about just making it an instrumental track and then perhaps I'll talk a bit on it just to introduce the CD and such. What ya think of it?
Also, do you think I should include the starting poem or not (it's actually part of an Edgar Allen Poe poem). It's not my voice, it's just some clip I found.

i'd keep the vocals, like the vibe of it, piano keys remind me a charlie brown christmas lol, drums could use a bit more variety vibe needs a minimal pattern but i think some additional percussion and added could add flavor, other than that good shit

i wouldn't use this as an intro beat though, i dunno maybe its just me but i think a beat should only be used for an intro if its some really busy or oddly formatted piece that really has no room for rapping, cuz i always hate listening to an album and hearing a dope vocal ready intro or skit beat especially when its better than some of the beats on the album
