Best Rap Single of the 90s Tournament Finals: Shook Ones Part II vs. T.R.O.Y.

[Piff Perkins]

Normally comparing two classic songs is a struggle, but in this case it's pretty easy. TROY is one of the greatest rap songs of all time....but Shook Ones II is the greatest rap song of all time.


Shook Ones II wins brehs. That beat, the verses, the chorus, the MOOD...come on. When I hear that beat come on it's over, every fukking time.

 

[Taadow]

These aren’t legit choices for the top 2?

Bruh I'm wiggin' out right now...

 

[No Homo]

TROY

 

[Inf1ne]

Shook ones win
Only based on the fact that it took like 20 yrs to find the sample flip . musically its a better song

 

[Ill-Mind]

Shook Ones Part II is the greatest hip hop song of all time to me, I’m glad it made it to the Top 2

 

[AkaDemiK]

Wow. One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make....

Going with shook ones tho

 

[InfamousThoro]

Shook Ones

Mobb are my nikkas but I definitely went with TROY. That shyt too powerful. This a battle of personal stannage but TROY got this.

IMO that's the most family-friendly and best hip-hop single based off these polls. You can play TROY anywhere. You play Shook Ones and everybody and their grandma turns

Which is why at the same time I couldn't be mad if Mobb won (which they are and will)

+1

Although Shook Ones is my favorite joint from the 90s, the impact of TROY was undeniable. Classic jazzy PR production, smooth lyrics, and the memorial to Trouble T Roy.

I do believe that y'all got it right on the two finalists.

It could have very easily been TROY vs Nothing But a G Thang

Or

Minds Playing Tricks on Me vs. Nothing But A G Thang

I'd give G Thang the props too. Minds Playing Tricks is a notch below

Opposite for me.

This is not a reflection of real life.

I love Shook Ones, but come on...

Shook Ones isn't up there as one of the Greatest singles of the 90s?

No, it’s definitely up there but it’s NOT a greater single than T.R.O.Y.

 

[mobbinfms]

No, it’s definitely up there but it’s NOT a greater single than T.R.O.Y.

I hear you. I've got no beef with anyone picking TROY over Shook Ones. I just wasn't sure what you meant by referencing reality. :psalute:
