it's a classic but it's also a tribute to a fallen brother...

I think what the song represents makes it untouchable IMO.

I have no problem with most covers or resampled hip hop beats but TROY is probably one of the few songs in hip hop you have to clear with the producer. It's like Charles Hamilton and the Dilla incident. Slow down and use the proper channels...

Once again Lupe shows his lack of respect IMO when it comes to a classic. WTF was he thinking? I bet he is on some "it's just a song to me" but damn... I really think Lupe is one of those smart/dumb niggas.

I really wish Lupe would have cleared it first because the song sounds dope and I love Lupe but it's like he has no respect for anything. I wonder how he would/will feel if someone jacked whatever song he holds close to his heart. Maybe he doesn't give a fuck but he has to know other do...

that being said... it's hip hop and one could say "not giving a fuck" is part of the culture......

I guess?
