 By Any Means Necessary Review |
| Pastor Troy has came up alot since he first came with I Declare War. I have been a fan of Pastor Troy for a while(Maybe because I live in Georgia), but coming from being a no-body to Rap City to even buying The Bounce in ATL means big things. This album P.T. has came a little different but still is hardcore. He's about big bussiness on this album. He's even got Eightball and Juvenile on the CD. There's a song named "Benz" which comes from "Friends" which really caught me off guard but still P.T. is keeping real throughout the whole album. The whole CD hits hard if you got some boom but P.T. has always laid down the beats nicely. I love this CD because P.T. can actually talk about what he has now since he came up but still aint changed cause its all about big thangs. Oh yeah make sure to check out D.S.G.B.'s new album which is P.T.'s group. |

| Pastor Troy's group DSGB just dropped an album not three months ago and now Troy drops his 4th solo lp. The Pastor is most known for his delivery and style rather than for his lyrics but everyone knows that he does have the potential to drop amazing verses. This album is more beat driven than his previous albums though. Even with that said some of the songs are just plain out terrible and unlistenable. Crank Me Up is quite possibly the worst song Troy has ever done. Just Awful. Off The Chain sucks and Representin is one of the worst lyrical efforts and worst flows that Troy has attempted. However, as expected, Troy drops some amazing songs. Ridin Big, the single, is a worthy song with a thumping backdrop. Nice Change feat. Juvenile, and Boys To Men w/ Eightball are both top caliber songs. Atlanta, arguably the best song on the album, is riding out with it's Isley Brothers sample, and Crazy is the classic cruisin song that has become a staple on Pastor Troy affiliated albums. His sinister songs It's About To Go Down and F. Them N's are also above average although not reaching the level of 'I'm Outside', This Tha City, or 'No Mo Play in GA'. The biggest surprise is the Lil Snap & Lil Killa 'demo' where these lil kids are rapping, they have some flow I can't front. It's actually kinda tight and kinda funny at the same time especially when you hear Troy's background vocals. I wish Troy would have kept the beat for himself cause it's pretty gangsta. Troy somewhat delivers on his fourth album, although it isn't as compelling as his others it's still worth checking out. 3.5 stars. |
