Pastor Baby, April 8, 2004
I really dont know why but for some reason I like many others, am drawn to this atl rapper named pastor troy, his lyrics are nothing special, his beats are most of the time average at best, his songs really dont make sense and most times his albums are only about 50 minutes are less (this one is 46 minutes). But the truth remains that pastor troy is one of the most electrifying rappers out there, why? because he brings so much energy to the mic, unlike many rappers he doesnt rap for the glory of it, he raps because he truly wants to represent Atlanta to the fullest and get the clubs live and jumping. Although it is true that pastor is no where close to a 2pac or a Biggie he is still hot simply because he isnt trying to be a 2pac or a Biggie, this album is the type that you listen to when you are in a car that has a nice system and just let the speakers bang and you could care less about the lyrics, the standout tracks on this album are "Crank Me Up" which jams like hell, of course his single "Riding Big Yo" is hot, "Crazy" is a great track with a nice beat and Pastor actually has a deacent flow on this track, the track "Nice Change" with Juvenile is probaly the second best song on the cd. So if your looking for some cold flows then this is not the cd for you, if you are looking for some timbaland/neptunes produced beats this is not the cd for you, but if you are a true pastor troy and atlanta fan then you should check this out for sure

Atlanta...I'll Rep For You...., April 5, 2004
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.
