Troy Avetook to Twitter to claim that he is the first Brooklyn rapper to talk about drugs in his raps.
“Ist nigga outta Brooklyn NYC talkin HEAVY drug talk in his raps…..” Troy Ave says to start off a series of tweets. “think about it! MY STORY CONSISTENT (the truth usually is)…*correction I AM DAT NIGGA! & I wanna b WEALTHY SO BAD! u”
These claims were quickly commented on by social media critics who suggested that earlier rappers from Brooklyn, such as Jay Z and The Notorious B.I.G., have rapped extensively about drugs before Troy Ave.
In “Brooklyn’s Finest,” the third track of Jay Z’s 1996 album, Reasonable Doubt, Jay and Biggie trade bars about their hard Brooklyn roots.
“From ‘9-6, the only MC with a flu / Yeah I rhyme sick, I be what you’re trying to do / Made a fortune off Peru, extradite, china white heron / Nigga please, like the short sleeves I bear arms / Stay out of my way from here on.”
The references to “Peru, extradite, china white heron” is descriptive of an international drug deal.
Troy Ave, who recently told HipHopDX his “music is like heroine,” did not back down from his claims. Instead, he posted an Instagram rebuttal to the haters.
“BEEN TALKIN THAT DOPE BOY $HiT out the Gate! My story been consistent …. Others touch on it and mix it up with street shit like, robberies, killings, clubs, struggle life …. But the only 1 talking bout whole birds, “Heavy” from NYC and I mean HEAVY detailed descriptions not 28grams or 62’s or 8 balls the only 1 talkin whole joints was yours truly! Since day 1 my story been the same …. The Real Ones snow the difference the ones who can’t relate will debate! MAN U KNOW WHAT like @scstunnasaid “Fuk what a fake n****a say, it’s bout what a real n***a say”
In January, Troy Ave discussed why he should be considered the top of the Hip Hop game. He also criticized the appeal of Chance The Rapper for his druggy image.
“The game is twisted and fucked up,” Troy Ave said at the time. “How is a drug addict gonna be at the forefront of rap?”
Troy Ave’s tweets and Instagram post are as follows:

Fuckin loser….
Troy Average, have a seat and take this L.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhahaha!
Thanks to past SPIN contributor Noz, it’s come to our attention that Troy Ave has a patently offensive obsession with a hypothetical situation in which one must choose between a gay son or a mentally disabled one (and sometimes a “whore daughter” or “crack head” for the sake of variation).

Wats More Embarrasing having a 14yr. Old Visibly Gay Son Or a 14yr. Old mentally Retarded son – Troy Ave, 2012
You see, the 28-year-old New York City rapper most recent album inclusively titled New York City: The Album Tweeted some variation of the same twisted either/or question numerous times from 2009 into late 2012, presumably due to inconclusive polling. That said, it appears he’s had his own mind made up on the matter since the summer of 2010:
“RT @Avon_blocksdale: I’ll take 2 retards over a gay son RT @TroyAve: RT @Hovain: @TroyAve gay son
this guy is a retard! if he was moving heavy weight like he claims why would he ever give it up to be a struggling 3rd tier rapper
aint no real dope boys moving heavy weight giving that shit up to write raps
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got somethin to say
But nothin comes out when they move their lips; just a bunch of gibberish
And motherfuckers act like they forgot about JAY
a goddam idiot ya heard meh an idiot fuck him
This guy……
nice, rap about drugs and the killing of your people.
Stupid negro
This nigga wants props for talking about heavy drugs?, WTF
he been talking way too reckless and crazy and feeling himself a little too much without actually accomplishing anything in the rap game. its only a matter of time before someone pulls his card or exposes him as a liar.
Hahahahahahaha this nigga got jokes
The funny thing about this is that DX decided it was necessary to prove this idiot wrong…
Yeah Troy…………we take ya word for it, LMAO.
And why is he proud of such ignorance and stupidity?
Smartest dumb nigga ever….
Lol@ this fuckboi.
1st off this nigga aint bout that kinda life.
2nd This dumb neegro thinks that its some kinda competition or some shit, smfh.
this nigga is so fucking hard on twitter but what has he ever done besides send some dirty crackhead to try and beat up ilovemakenon
This clown name doesn’t ring any bells in Brooklyn.
If you ain’t pushing the art forward then you ain’t relevant Troy. Below average circle logic lyrics don’t impress anyone. We’ve heard it all before. Go sell drugs if that’s what you want to do with that your life. No one wants to hear about it, because know one cares. It’s not edgy or brave or even exciting. You gotta say things that make us go wow, not say stupidness that makes us wonder why anyone ever bought anything you ever recorded.
Can you say “delusional”?
I hate everything this fuck boy says. He’s literally retarded. When people talk about drug dealing, they’re pouring a negative light on it to show how social injustice pushed them to it as a last resort, but this idiot uses it as a measurement for how “real” you are. Selling a pregnant lady a gram doesn’t make you real, feeding an addiction doesn’t make you real. Helping people who suffer from both sides of drug dealing and addiction is what makes you “real”. And that’s why I’ll never respect this fuck boy.
^this kid just learned the phrase “fuck boy” and is now using it every chance he gets. lame
Biggie just called from hell to say Troy Ave is a moron.
i read that as “Troy Ave is a mormon”
Why does Troy Ave have a big fat head and skinny body?
TROY IS GETTIN ANNOYING NOW ALL THESE BROOKLYN CLAIMS LIKE HE’S THE ONLY BROOKLYN RAPPER TO EVER RAP. NIGGA JOEY BADASS GOES HARDER THAN YOU. YOU’RE A POOR MAN’S VERSION OF 50 CENT AND YOU COULDN’T MAKE A TUESDAY REMIX BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. CMON FAM. YOU’RE NOT THAT NICE. YOUR BARS ARE BASIC AND NO ONE REALLY BELIEVES THAT ADIDAS DEAL. T.I.’S GONNA BENCH TROY AS LONG AS IGGY IS ALIVE
homegirl made such a shitty tuesday remix that he got clowned by the chubby virgin with bad hair who made the song LOL … then he caught major feelings and tried to pay a fiend to snuff him to make himself feel better about his ongoing L’s!!!!!!!!
This dude is USING drugs.
Biggie, ODB, Jay-z, Fabolous, Papoose, ODB the list goes on and on. Every rapper everywhere talks about drugs.

WTF is he saying. wutang and has were street rap and all came out before buggy
his music isnt bad but everything he says comes off as delusional… hes PR or manager need to shut him up.
Why are they bragging about who rapped about drugs first though? That’s not something to be proud of. You’re promoting a terrible lifestyle and not helping the image of black males at all
Not a fucking IQ point to spare. Wish he’d get smacked by Sean Price, then got jizzed on by Necro.
His ‘career” in rap will be over soon but still, what a retard and an embarassment.
Black folks must be proud.
necro?! get that corny whiteboy shit the fuck outta here b! troy ave is terrible but he’s about a million times better than necro the fucking mouthbreathin retard. you want necro to jizz in your mouth, you fuckboi faggot.
gotta state facts… Troy Ave & Sean Price are cousins… as in actual blood related family
There’s a bum Brooklyn rapper/barber named Boo Blades who laffs at this talentless cornball fuck.
Getting real sick of this fag
Yo, this dude is mad corny for this and the crazy thing is he thinks this shit is cool.. This dude is what I call I white brooklynn kid trapped in a black body, dude is really lost within and not just him because a good majority thinks like this young fool.. The real will be back and this shit will be stopped..
