TROY AVE. let's talk about the breh.

[Ego Noir]

I never actually followed this cat in the past, but I overheard a few of his singles like:



and my personal favorite, New York City.



And I'm feeling son. As far as NYC yea we got French Montana, but that's just swag music.

The above song rings true to NYC to the core. He's not your joey badass lyrically, he's not the second coming of the 50 Cent thug rap. But his appeal to me is he's a regular NY nikka. Reminds of a cool nikka from the neighborhood.

Repping Troy Ave Crown Heights, he's a fresh air of that organic sound. Not too polished but not too grit.
I checked his album and his mixtapes, Bricks in my Backpack

IMO it's not the best, and I sense a lot of biting/"inspiration" from the Max B style and Camron/Mase

But breh cool tho

Discuss.

 

[NoHalfWay]

NYC needs better. This dude ain't nothing.

 

[Donald J Trump]

nikka please

 

[Ego Noir]

NYC needs better. This dude ain't nothing.

He's not the one, I agree.

But IMO he's turning up the boil in the city and breh got good music

 

[the rhyme king]

technically he trash imo so i could care less about him.

Troy ave will be gone in a year. He is alienating himself with his attitude towards modern ny hiphop. No one wants to hear that 50 cent style of rap anymore and the ones who do won't actually buy his shyt.
Weirdo rap taking over

more swag less violence
high fashion
fukk black on black crime

 

[Ugo Ogugwa]

[mortuus est]

But he's not making that thug rap.

There's a lot of hipster rap out now then on the other hand you got the trap rap like Montana with coke boys.

He's playing that line in the middle and keeping it street rap.

I personally can't get with that Kendrick Lamar's, asap is cool but the Houston influence gets old. I grew up off a different breed of rap

Breh is a fresh air that got a bop in the step unlike joey who gets boring after a while.

Troy ave is a wanna be dope boy who will eventually get black balled for running his mouth. That hood shyt doesn't work anymore.

 

[2manyFCKNrappers]

nah.

 

[Matt504]

I can't enjoy his music, I guess I'm one of the weirdos he's always talking about.

he comes off as a prick and I've seen a few interviews of his where he's used a few analogies that left me

Seems like there's no one around him with worthwhile reasoning skills to help him understand how ignorant he is at times.

 

[mozichrome]

meh, you couldve picked 2 better songs
not really feeling dude music
dont really watch the interviews and stuff people be referencing when speaking on him

Running his mouth on who, Kendrick Lamar and who else Chance the rapper?

That's not a problem he got rappers all over even old heads standing by him. His reviews from publication to publication including pitchfork, MTV, complex, XXl, and vibe are all stellar.

And hood rap don't work no more?

say that to trap rap, the Montana's, The Rick Ross, the Meek Mills, YGs, Migos, Guccis, Jeezys-- please hood rap still pop.

Those MC's you just named have no problem rapping on southern beats that bang in clubs. Troy ave will never be on that level because he wants to attempt to bring back that early 2000's sound. The dude hasn't even went gold yet but he feels he can speak on Kendrick? HA!. Just another bitter new yorker.
