Metro Boomin on Top Collab Albums & Drake Beef

Ever wonder who’s dominating the streaming charts with those epic collaboration albums? Well, producer extraordinaire Metro Boomin is definitely a major player, even if he’s not holding the absolute top spot. He recently opened up about his massive success on Spotify’s list of most-streamed hip-hop collab albums, and he even weighed in on the highly publicized Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef.

Metro Boomin’s Collab Album Reign

While Drake and 21 Savage’s ‘Her Loss’ currently leads the pack with an incredible 3.93 billion streams, Metro Boomin has a serious presence on the list. He recently chatted with E.T. Cali from Streetz 94.5, reflecting on how he and 21 Savage have the most placements of anyone on the chart. It’s a testament to their incredible chemistry and prolific output.

Metro recalled a recent phone call with 21 Savage where they discussed their shared success. “He was like, ‘Man, you seen that list of the collab albums? I was on there four times, you was on there like four times.’ Yeah, that’s a blessing,” Metro shared. It’s easy to see why; beyond ‘Her Loss,’ 21 Savage has ‘Without Warning’ with Offset and Metro, plus both ‘Savage Mode’ installments, all produced by Metro.

More Than Just ‘Her Loss’

Metro Boomin’s influence extends even further. His project ‘WE DON’T TRUST YOU’ with Future also made waves. And speaking of Future, his earlier collab album with Drake, ‘What A Time To Be Alive,’ is another heavyweight on the streaming list. Other notable entries include Kanye West’s ‘Watch The Throne’ with Jay-Z and ‘VULTURES 1’ with Ty Dolla $ign, Future’s ‘WRLD On Drugs’ with Juice WRLD, and Lil Baby and Gunna’s ‘Drip Harder’.

Weighing In on the Drake vs. Kendrick Beef

Metro Boomin’s comments didn’t stop at his own achievements. He also offered his perspective on the intense lyrical battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. When asked about it, Metro described the situation with a striking analogy: “Nah, man, it’s WWE, man. It’s WWE exactly.” He explained that he grew up in an era where such rivalries were more like entertainment spectacles, distinct from the deeply personal online feuds of today.

This neutral, almost detached take on the beef, especially given his own past public disagreements with Drake, might raise eyebrows among some fans. However, it seems Metro Boomin is focused on celebrating the collaborative spirit in music and acknowledging the massive success that comes from artists working together, regardless of personal or public conflicts.
