If you are shoppin beats, 8 bars is tooo long of an intro. Especially if you are playing/shopping to a&r's. you get about 30-45 seconds per track of listening time so if in the verse the beat doesn't come in hard as hell.....

if you got a hook on there you need to start with the hook. Don't make em wait 8 bars then 16 bars ( a min. and 15 sec) to hear the hook. Your track half of the time won't make it that far.
