The Most Overrated Hip-Hop Track of All Time

I'm about to get crucified, so let me clarify.  It is a GREAT song.  I love it.  But it gets so much love from people of a certain age as the GREATEST hip-hop track ever that it's high time someone stepped in to stop the madness.

"T.R.O.Y." is NOT the greatest hip-hop track ever.

I mean, it's just a guy talking about his family and growing up, which in no way goes with the producer's central conceit, which is about the passing of a loved one.  The beat IS an all-time classic, but the rhymes are not, and, again, they don't match one another.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy it.  A lot.
