Y’all forgetting Meek was the most anticipated artist in his wave, and also how heavy the streets fw him till this day
While KTT nerds hate talkin about nerd s*** like Dogecoin
it was until drake ruined him in that diss track that these #suburbans switched up on his ass

Everyone in my school knew Meek and played his music.
Students listened to Meek, the radio had Meek, our school pep rallies and sporting events had Meek's music, parties/kickbacks had Meek's music.
He definitely was everywhere around that time for me.
I remember looking at these lists on Datpiff to find mixtapes to try. Jadakiss being up there always surprised me
Juelz Santana n Fab too lmao
S*** kept a lot of "niche" artists a float n eating for a good minute
never been crazy about meek, but he really was omnipresent during that era. it was impossible to escape him
How is So Far Gone not on the list?
Was before all this
SFG full tape isnt even on datpiff iirc
When I criticized mainstream rap now it was basically because I came of age in an era when ALL this s*** was hot @Brave @figarooooo
That's why the drop off from 2017-2020 hits hard... not even on some oldhead s***
tunechi's back is a classic
i kinda wish those late 2000s - early 2010s bombastic lex luger beats with orchestral instruments would come back, the atmosphere was strong with them
