For real...

GOOD Fridays & "MBDTF"?

C'mon man

Get Metro's clown ass outta' here

Had almost forgot LR/Be two arguably top 10/20 hip hop albums came out the same year and and a whole slew of singles produced by Ye

honestly in terms of commercial popularity, neptunes is the only one that rivals metro's run like that

"classic"

Hit Boy then or now

Pierre even had more of an impact than Metro

Metro kinda left in the middle of what would have solidified his run tbh. He got classics but what really puts him over his contemporaries like Sonny Digital (arguably more innovative) or Southside (kinda kicked off the whole wave with Lex) other than the memefication of his tag. Although music ain’t 1to1 to sports and they all dope
