Troy Ave
 

the real. classic. east coast. new york

I'm seriously disappointed that this bullshit is a hotter topic than Troy Ave on musicbanter in 2014. ****

I swore I wrote a post ****ting all over this dude when you first made the post. I wonder what happened to it.

hmm. Well, I'd like to know what you said. **** again?

The basic gist of what I said was, I remember seeing him on the new XXL freshman class for 2014 and I went to look up his songs to figure out why since I didn't know him.

I don't even think he deserved the spot but then again the freshman class has been a joke for the past year or two.

A few of his songs has really good beats but his lyrical skills are just mediocre imo and Joey Bada$$ does the same thing that he does but so much better. What I mean by that is using 90s style beats and rapping over them.

I don't pay attention to XXL but I do see your point. I like the 90s-style beats and I definitely like Troy Ave's voice and flow, it just sounds nice to me despite mediocre lyrics, much more than Joey Bada$$. I dunno so many rappers bore me these days, Troy Ave just strikes a chord with me. And he really does remind me of the old east vs. west coast days without it being a total joke.

Understandable.

Have you heard Maffew Ragazino? You may like some of his material. He has a couple of mixtapes floating around.

Much hate.. :(

It's probably because my thread offered a topic to discuss rather than just linking a ****ty rapper.. Thanks for introducing me to someone I have never heard before but he's pretty awful.

If I want 90s beats, I'll listen to 90s rap.

you're welcome :)

hey thanks! I had not heard him before and I'm definitely liking it.

this is all what i know of troy ave


silly but i kinda like it
