07/19/07 - Pastor Troy - Tool Musiq

Legendz · 07-19-2007, 03:59 AM

Consistency and longevity are very hard to come by in Hip-Hop. Pastor Troy has had the pleasure of living through years of change and success in his hometown. After several years of performing for the underground in Atlanta and around the nation, Pastor Troy sees himself dropping Tool Muziq.
On this album, he remains true to form. Troy is still dropping regional hits and southern flair all over southern beats, which is perfect for those who have always loved his sound. This will probably be less impressive to outsiders who are unfamiliar with his past records and it will undoubtedly get hate from those who dislike Southern style Hip-Hop for simplicity in rhymes.
The lyrics are not complex and are not always particularly interesting. While listeners do not expect the greatest, mind boggling verses from the man, there could have still been more substance in some of the songs. To worsen matters, the choruses can get irritating (Still Looking, Hard for the Money) and his subject matter isn’t the most original at times (That’s the Move).
Pastor shines when pouring his heart out on tracks like I’m Down, Will He Come Home Tonight, and Hey Mama. His delivery may not be the best (although some argue this) but his style is his own and it’s lasted for many years in this grueling and forgetful game.
The beats, primarily drawn from Southern hit makers, play their part in creating the sound specific for Troy’s style. Longtime fans will enjoy this production because it doesn’t take him completely out of his element. Although, Wanting You does seem out of place and some of the beats sound recycled, it flows together nicely.
Those who stood behind him for every step of the way will love this album. Some of his loyal followers have already declared this to be at classic status. Others will notice that Troy’s style is not for everyone and will also notice the faults cause the album to lose a lot of momentum. In the end, Troy manages to please his supporters by not changing up his style too much. Can you blame him? That’s what’s gotten him here.
