I'm gonna catch shyt for this, but read through before you judge. I also will preface this by saying it's a top 3 hip-hop song of ALL TIME to me. I'm not really overrating the song, rather than some of its audience.

T.R.O.Y. WAIT...Let me explain. Overplayed. Not overrated.

The SONG is not overrated, but the fact that any DJ can do a "old school hip-hop" set at a party and just throw on TROY and all the hipster kids go "OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH" in unison when they were sperm when the song dropped drives me nuts. People that genuinely appreciate the song, fine, no problems.

I always love when it comes on too. But for the people that like it "because they are supposed to" that shyt drives me crazy. Also because it's a fall back record for DJs that suck. If they're losing a crowd they can just put TROY on and get that forced fake "oh shyt" reaction.

Along with Shook Ones it's probably my favorite song so no hate here.

It's not overrated...just overplayed. Same with Dwyck.

rockwilder is trash also

the only thing that made that corny ass song was "la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaa" at the end


but other than that, its trash



i think this thread will show how disposable, short-termed and overall irrelevant a hip-hop "hit" is.

]Nas math was just :scusthov: shyt made NO sense,[/B] he even admitted he wasnt saying anything either

Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots
from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two
Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17
Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you

Why?

Doesnt a glock hold 16, plus 1 in the chamber? That would be 17 in one gun.....thu 16+17 which would equal 33.

It all works out.
