Man, Pete was dropping multiple samples for one song

Never noticed he used the same sample as Artifacts "Wrong Side of Da Tracks" before either...

Pete is great at hiding the sample and flipping it....

Mos Def, some cats sample the same bars of a record, some find other spots to sample.

TROY was one of them songs that was stuck in my head as a kid. Hearing that classic horn takes me back to simpler times. Sitting in the back of my moms Geo Prizm, LMAO. CL Smooth & Pete Rock are a massively underrated duo.

TROY takes me back to the mid 90s when I was like 4 with my dad in the barber shop. They used to play it all the time

To the other gamers, remember NBA street used to have TROY, I used to bust ass to that track

Classic album, I love it. Great thread

Straighten it out is a slept on joint. One if my favs from them. Far as the album this entire thing was classic production and TROY is one of my top 10 songs.

Man Straighten It Out was my second favorite on this album
