Pete Rock feels violated over Lupe Fiasco's used of the beat:

that sample is so damn dope !

frankekingma said on Monday, 23 May 2011:
True... that bassline would start at 0:56. Maybe should be noted as well?

Mike D said on Friday, 05 November 2010:
M1989: You are correct sir!

babybrother70 said on Friday, 05 November 2010:
This song is awesome, but it skips!

pete7625 said on Sunday, 27 December 2009:
gives me goosebumps when it comes to the saxophon

M1989 said on Monday, 07 December 2009:
T.R.O.Y not only samples the saxaphone hook, but if you listen clearly the bassline is also sampled. Hence, whole track is appropriate

Mike D said on Monday, 07 December 2009:
Nice one. However, to be a stickler, why is this labeled as "Part Sampled: Whole Track"? It's clearly just the hook that was sampled.

JJStone said on Thursday, 03 December 2009:
NBA Street Vol. 2! Playing that game, I would often choose to listen to T.R.O.Y. ovah and ovah again.

I remember listening to the original sample on "The Boondocks", and the part on T.R.O.Y. came on, and I was really surprised.
