After a long hiatus, which included musical endeavors involving bands and live music, he has returned to the forefront of music that gets ignored by the mass majority of music listeners with shiny new software and a meager collection of music of which to steal instrument samples and vocal clips. His Last.fm library is a true testament to mediocrity, drowning in a sea of shit eaters.
Starting at "Core Dump", you can see the progression from his angry youth to "Fuck Your Stereo", which was his first true attempt at quote/unquote/more quotes "dance music". From that moment on, the evolution of sound coming from each new album has begun to show tale-tell signs of "not sucking that bad".
If history has told us anything, Metro I.D. will most likely follow similar artists and eventually fade into the grey matter of history and this Last.fm page will be his metaphorical tomb that teenagers in the future will break into and defile his place of resting with their underage drinking, premarital sex, and "rock and roll" music.

Hustler
Metro I.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's going down hm ha, we on the South
[Hook - 4x]
Heart of a hustler, mind of a G
Playa hating niggaz, can't fuck with me
[Lil' Keke]
Keke smoking tree, blowing up the industry
'Sacci shades dob hat, dressed to impress
Candy red drape and buck, TV's in my head rest
Rolling on blades, chopping up blocks
Rolley bezeltine, bagguettes filled with rocks
Two glocks, what did you expect
Six hundred Benz, ten thousand on my neck
Watch this boy wreck, then recollect
Grab the black pen, and sign for the check
Notorious but glorious, I made it understood
Rap game executive, put it down for the hood
Mayn it feel good, to ride and get blowed
Billion dollar dreams, me and Kay thinking thoed
Breaking down the beat, Solo has provided
Dead End Alliance, Herschelwood has collided
[Hook - 2x]
Heart of a hustler, mind of a G
Playa hating niggaz, can't fuck with me
If you really want to know, who we are
When you coming down, like a superstar
If they really want to know, who it be
It's Fat Pat, and the boy Mike D
[Fat Pat]
I got the mind of a G, in this game
Addicted to the paper, so I can't escape it mayn
Mind on the vorge or, sha'll I say a mission
Back up in the kitchen, and my palms still itching
Baby mama's still bitching, cause I ain't got time
Trying to make a mill ticket, paper's on my mind
I'm chart climbing, steadily shining
Watch and ring filled all up, with diamonds
Yellow hoes minding, bumper kit reclining
I'm the first nigga to put the funk, up on your mind and
Heart of a hustler, mind of a G
Procrastinate, but you can hate the P-A to the T
[Mike D]
I got the heart of a hustler, mind of a G
Bending big corners, in my 3-20
I'm sitting low to the ground, plus I'm mobbing on 20's
Young up in the game, and got a pocket full of money
So much jealousy and envy, plus these haters perpetrating
In the end they fall to the waist line, while the strong niggaz make it
I'ma stay up on my game, get the paper 'fore fame
It's all up in the game, know I'm tal'n bout mayn
Cause real gon be real, and fake gon be fake
But I'm gon kick back, and let them boys playa hate
Trying to talk down a real G, from the hood
I hold the damn wood, and keep the point up understood
[Hook - 4x]
[Kay-K]
Heart of a hustler, mind of a G
DEA representative, and full time S.U to the see who it be
A paper made G, from that End who sin
Quickest way to get out, and get in this game
I got's to get wit it, I'm holding my nuts
And riding on buck, and these niggaz just can't get with it
Let my top down, on a Sunday
Drug deals and homicides, occurring on that Monday
It's a one way ticket, down this lane of slamming do's
Pimping hoes, wearing creased clothes
And riding blades on lows, fo' life we together mayn
Paper gotta get better mayn, G fin to get with the stain
Ain't no mo', slanging caine
[H.A.W.K.]
Thoed piece on my neck, don't try to neglect
While I'm draped in Armani, and I'm sipping Moet
I live the life of the mob, too smart to rob
Ain't no sleeping on the job, when I tilt's my dob
Cause the subject is paper, and I'm on that chase
Lack lusters silly busters, ain't no time to waste
Erase your thoughts, while I make my disclosure
Too calm gat in my palm, can't lose my composure
I'm like Gotti, Rolls Mazaratti
Those who don't know, better ask somebody
Mo' Versacci to the toes, and every playa knows
That sometimes best friends, transform into your worst foes
[Hook - 4x]

Hi I watch you and I live in NYC sick of it here so I don't usually watch the NYC videos just the Florida ones! My hubby watches first amendment adit videos and you are correct you can film anything or anyone in the public!
To Go Is To Know
Yes, there is no expectation of privacy in a public space. Plus, there are millions of security cameras all over the place as well. If someone asked my not to film them specifically I would, except if they are doing something like this and don't want to be called out on it.
