Vice ETHERED Troy Ave UPDATE: (Troy Responds In Angie Martinez Interview)

[same damn lo sweater]

reading this thread gives me a headache. who even cares about this shyt

 

[dappadonna]

I should become a blogger and start insulting rappers I really don't like. I want one to run up on me, I haven't stolen a rapper's chain since the early 2000s. It would be good practice.

Who'd you jux ?

Lmao @ the random ethering of memphis bleek,

If sway grew up on those artist, but he lived in the queens projects his whole life. But never rode a horse, didn't grow up on a farm, a ranch, never been to a rodeo, never rode in a pick up truck, was never socially or culturally attached to country music lifestyle, he would be disqualified and disconnected from that culture

Let me cut through the politically correct responses and red tape and get to the heart

If you're a CAC and grew up outside of urban areas and never been entrenched in the rap culture, your opinion means NOTHING. At all. You're allowed to voice it but nobody gives a fukk. You're not apart of rap culture. Facts of life. Deal with or don't, won't change these facts.

FOH you don't have to grow in urban areas to be criticize rap culture. you don't have to grow in an "urban area" to understand or be critical of the art.

And whats all this "You have to be from the projects" shyt?

Because next he's going to start biting Killa Cam style

Also, are we going to act like Tommy Hilfiger's son isn't asking to get the shyt smacked out of him?

This dude is the son of a racist billionaire, but he dressed like he's been in the trap all day. I hate that shyt

Tommy Hilfiger is not racist

this dude has NO buzz. Look at his downloads, look at his youtube views. Compare it to Bronson, Chance, and other "underground" rappers who are actually buzzing.

He's only poppin in NYC, the rest have a spread out fanbase

Troy's buzz is way more artificial. His buzz is really no bigger than Uncle Murda's was a few years back only difference is he has more co-signs from industry people through building connections and he talks more shyt

Hey Wayne convinced people he was the greatest rapper alive because he kept saying it

Is he really popping in NY tho? Can any NY cats confirm that..?

Nah not really

I'm from BK, and yes he's popping here. Not on no "bigger than everybody else" level but of the newer artists in NYC he definitely has the biggest buzz. He's the only one played on the radio that isn't signed. And I mean daytime and afternoon hours where spins really matter.

I've never heard Action Bronson, Joey Bad Ass, etc...played on NY radio, both stations at morning and afternoon like Troy Ave. And I don't even listen to the radio like that, but whenever I happen to have it on or go in stores, one of his songs does come on.

Everyone fakes it until they make it, to be fair I guess. Jay was a nobody at one point, giving DJs money to play his records. But

Interesting. Which Troy Ave songs do they play?
