| | Pastor Troy By Any Means Necessary CD Pastor Troy Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
Principally recorded at Madd House, Stankonia Studios, Atlanta, Georgia.
"Hard as a hammer/I am Atlanta," declares Pastor Troy early on his sixth record, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. It's a forward boast, but not entirely idle, since the growling yet spiritual-minded purveyor of crunk has established himself as one of the most interesting and talented rappers from that fertile city. While Pastor Troy's rhymes often concern familiar topics such as cars, women, survival, and respect, he cuts his flow with sincere humor and a touch of self-consciousness.
On this set, Pastor Troy reveals a complex, torn individual. He can unleash fury ("Crank Me Up") as easily as he can reminisce wistfully ("Atlanta"). He can brag heartily and thuggishly ("Representin'"), or he can observe the world at large ("Crazy"). Troy also reinvents Whodini's profoundly reflective "Friends" into a goofy song about flashy cars called "Benz," a potentially corny move that works surprisingly well. And Troy's amiable response to two young rappers on a three-minute interlude gives warm insight into one of hip-hop's more complicated individuals.
Personnel: Pastor Troy, Ms. Shynek, DJ Mars, Chip, Eightball, Lil Will, Lil Pete, Juvenile (rap vocals).
Producers include: Carl "Cooly C" Dorsey, Khalifani, DJ Toomp, Da Masta, Oomp Camp.
Rolling Stone (4/1/04, p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[The second half] crackles with possibility, anchored by a lighthearted take on cars to the tune of Whodini's 'Friends'..." By Any Means Necessary Music Pastor Troy By Any Means Necessary Songs | 1. | I'm Warning Ya - (Intro) | $0.99 | |

THE SCORE won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, and "Killing Me Softly" won a 1997 Grammy for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. The album was also nominated for Album Of The Year.
On their second album, the Fugees utilize a couple of the mid-'90s trends in hip-hop--cinematic construct and references to Asian fighting techniques. But THE SCORE transcends much of the genre's recent output, because it's as much about musicality as it is about beats. In fact, deep beats often take a back seat to tense, noir grooves. More importantly, all three rappers--Haitian males, Wyclef and Pras, and New Jerseyite female, Lauryn Hill--swing hard, syncopating around the beats like jazz instrumentalists, making THE SCORE a complex and challenging listen.
THE SCORE also boasts some of the most intelligent, non-exclusionary rhymes in recent memory. Wyclef claims to "run through Crown Heights/Screaming ...
