t.r.o.y. Was real big summer '92 in nyc. Nuff jeeps were bumpin' it. I bought the cassette. The sample at the beginning of the video is preserved from the album version(pete showed by off his extensive achives and musical knowledge by starting a number of the album's tracks with dusty,rare soul samples).

This is one of my favorite hip hop songs period. Also, a few days ago i saw an episode of the boondocks (riley wuz here) which played the original (the one in which troy was sampled from)...i tried to catch the name in the credits but they didn't mention it. If anyone knows which song pete sampled from for troy..respond. Thanx

Yo sabatage, i saw that episode too! i was trying to read the credits but did not see the name of the original. Check the inside of the cd booklet.

The saxophone is sampled from tom scott - "today"...and another sample from "deliver me".. He also does the freaky sax from the taxi driver score

Tom scott's today is one of the best sampled songs ever....

Posted by nostalgia man

That organ bit at the beginning of troy is 'when she made me promise' from a band called the beginning of the end. The other song is tom scott's 'today' . Nice songs, too! pete rock is a genius and seems to love his obscure songs!

I am a 51 year old white female. This song grabbed me 11 years ago and i have never forgotten it. This is true genius. It reminds me of everyone who passed.

Im 14 years old and all my life i was lookin for a song that is better than all the hiphop we hear now. I found it and wen i heard dis song it made me wanna bring bac the 90's

I'm a big fan of hip hop beats that use the jazz samples - i'm 23 and had never heard the song growing up, but a video game called "nba street" uses what sounds like an instrumental version of this song - heard it on our new station out here and had to find it right away

I hear it comes from an old vietnam era folk song called "today", by an artist named " tom scott"
