The song has a big legacy: The Source named it one of the “100 Best Rap Singles Of All Time.” Spin put it on their list of the “Top 20 Singles of the ’90s,” and it was ranked number 90 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop. The song also mentions other people from his life: “My grandmom Pam holds the family together/My uncle Doc’s the greatest, better yet the latest/If we’re talking about a car, uncle Sterling got the latest/I strive to be live ’cause I got no choice/And run my own business like my aunt Joyce.” But even though these people are specific to his life, the sentiment of reminiscing over them is one that we can all relate to. Smooth told XXL, “before his passing, I definitely learned to respect and as the years went by I learned to cherish his memories like all the rest of my fallen soldiers in my life that meant something special to me at one point or another.” “But only you saw what took many time to see/I dedicate this to you for believing in me.” As C.L. Roy, pointing out that their relationship didn’t start out on a positive note: “T to the R-O-Y, how did you and I meet? In front of Big Lou’s, fighting in the street.” But it soon becomes clear why Troy fits into the story: he was another positive role model. It’s in the third verse that he addresses his late friend T.
Dixon died in a freak accident while on tour his death also inspired the title of Heavy D & the Boyz’s next album, Peaceful Journey. The song was originally inspired by the tragic death of Troy Dixon, better known as “Trouble” T. Like the best hip-hop - and the best music of all kinds - it transcends its era. Smooth’s lyrics eschew the toughness of that era’s hip-hop for something bigger: the song thanks those who have helped us on our paths and remembers friends and family after they’re gone. Pete Rock’s incredible production sounded great in ’92, and it still sounds great today. It’s a great album, but the highlight is easily “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)” It’s a song about nostalgia, and three decades on, it can make those of us who lived through hip-hop’s late ’80s/early ’90s “golden era” feel nostalgic.
