 (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 ... Full Descriptionyet 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'..." Hide Description By Any Means Necessary Music Pastor Troy By Any Means Necessary Songs | 1. | I'm Warning Ya - (Intro) |

Out of a seemingly endless array of hip hop albums, every now and again something fresh and powerful rises to the top of the pile. Hailing from the Queensbridge Housing Projects in Long Island City (home to Marley Marl among others), 20-year old Nasir "Nas" Jones is less concerned with being an impersonator than with being an originator, bypassing adolescent fantasies and B-boy braggadocio in favor of jazzy beats, rap noir realism and new answers to urban despair.
ILLMATIC is his story, a cautionary tale of the inner city streets, and as Nas makes plain on his opener, "The Genesis," this is what he does, with or without a record contract, and it's going to be served up straight, no chaser. And because Nas has the courage to transcend popular trends, to separate himself from the ranks of wannabes and me-toos, he may be on the verge of inaugurating some stylistic changes of his own.
Production-wise, Nas has gathered together some of the superstars of the hip hop underground, producers the likes of Q-Tip, Pete Rock, L.E.S., DJ Premier and The Large Professor, ...
