Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)

[@KevinDFuller94]

NBA Street Vol 2 brought me here when I was a kid. That game will always have a special place in my heart because of that because this has been one of my favorite songs ever since. Both the song & the game are timeless classics.

Man, back when this came out it grabbed my soul. I was 15 and his bars floored me. After calming down over what is CLs lyrical genius, the musical genius of Pete Rock got me on the emotional tip all while tied in to the message. Those lyrics with that music was a pure masterpiece. Every time it would play I just had to pause and just let it. And after all these years it still does the same thing. I just have to pause and just listen and take it in.
