“T.R.O.Y.” is the most impactful Hip Hop song I’ve ever heard. Crazy thing is, I couldn’t imagine it not having the 14 second prelude. Fade to black. Then that horn. That’s heaven on earth.

It is the greatest hip hop joint ever and my favorite song of all time. It speaks to my soul. If all music ended and I could only listen to that one song I’d be thriving.

@@a.m.g.116 Oh yeah. All of those are iconic as well. There are so many other beats with those qualities only they're not songs that get universal praise outside of older hip-hop heads. "Get A Hold" from Tribe to me is in that same school. Beats Rhymes and Life has for a long time been mixed amongst fans of Tribe, but Dilla's fanbase since he died grows so much every year on the web that its iconic in its own right.

Let this sink in...Pete Rock was only 21 years of age when he produced this timeless classic track. Pete Rock is the epitome of the statement: "Powerful Creativity Comes From A Broken Heart." He was able to masterfully channel his heartache into what I consider to be one of the greatest tracks in all of contemporary music, regardless of genre. I remember going down to my college town's record store to get the T.R.O.Y. cassette single and I couldn't wait to unwrap it and pop it into my Sony Walkman. As I walked down the street back to my dorm room that day, I damn near cried because I knew as a 19 year old that I was listening to a classic that I would play countless of more times for the rest of my life. #TheGoldenEraOfHipHop

Smooth wore in the video made me feel like they were right down the street. That song came on the countdown EVERYDAY!
