As a concert pianist in the 50’s, Met’s grandmother was a big inspiration and attribution to his natural ability to play keys and produce music. Big Daddy Kane was Met’s first influence to writing rhymes. Kane said “you could put wings on your tongue and still couldn’t say nothing fly” and met thought it was the most genius thing he had ever heard. After he heard that line, met sacrificed every minute of his day thinking of clever punch lines, metaphors, and wordplay to show off to the neighborhood hip hop heads. This is where the name “Mr. Metaphor” was born. He started calling radio stations like Martin Moore and DJ Meham, Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito, and any other radio station he could get his voice heard on.
He began making a local buzz for himself. After internal conflict with his first group “SUB 4”, met decided to accept the invite from the other local Park Slope group making noise “Zooty Zoo”, and joined forces with Building Block (Block McCloud) and Will Tell. The 3 artists formed the group Word A Mouth and went on to be featured on the Lyricist Lounge Volume 1 album hosted by De La Soul. This Album was released in the golden era of hip hop and opened up an audience to Mr. Met so detrimental to his success today.
Soon the legendary Pumpkinhead, another Park Slope native MC came into the picture and the chemistry between the artists was like none other. They formed the Brooklyn Academy and went on to release a number of independently released records that topped college radio, billboard and dance charts.
Mr Met released his first and only independently produced album “Metropolis” in 2005. Experimental and mainly self produced, met composed a play list of no sample songs he created on the Triton Keyboard, playing different melodies and chords, singing his hooks, and experimenting with his bi-lingual capability to rap and sing in French. That same year met traveled to Cannes France with the Lyricist Lounge for the “Midem” conference, and made some strong business contacts with many international music companies around the world.
Along with experimenting on the musical side of hip hop, met decided to step into the business side of the entertainment business and began event coordinating and throwing parties. He started Remarcable Entertainment which has now gained a very respectful reputation for its brand. Met has worked with Funk Master Flex of NY’s hot 97, DJ Gold finger, DJ Red Alert, Stretch Armstrong, Rich Medina, and has gained relationships with hundreds of DJ’s in NYC. As a solo artist met has toured England, Canada, France, and has performed in Vermont, Albany.
New Jersey, and countless venue’s in NYC. As a member of Brooklyn Academy Met has toured all over the world and countless cities up and down the east coast and the Midwest. Met is a highly respected artists. He is your favorite artist’s favorite artist. His witty lines, advanced flows, bi-lingual raps, and incomparable ability to write a song separates him from the over saturation of mc’s in the hip hop game. He is a true professional song composer made for the entertainment business.

All right
You're right
Okay fine
Okay fine
Yes right here
No, not right now
No not right now
Please talk to me right now
I'll talk to you right now
I'll talk to you right now
You need to talk to me now
Amazing isn't it?
So what is it?
It hurts isn't it
Why would you do that?
You can do it
I can do it
I can't do it
I can do it
Don't do it
I can do it
I couldn't do it
There is no one else in the world
There is no one else in sight
They were the only ones who mattered
They were the only ones left
He had to be with me
She had to be with him
I had to do this
I wanted to kill him
I started to cry
I turned to him
I don't like it, he said
I waited for what had happened
It was almost thirty years ago
It was over thirty years ago
That was six years ago
He had died two years ago
Ten, thirty years ago
It's all right here
Everything is all right here
It's all right here
It's all right here
We are all right here
Come here in five minutes
But you need to talk to me now
The lyrics from Mr. Metaphor's song "Its Only Right" depict a conversation between two individuals. The conversation seems to be serious and important, as one person repeatedly asks the other to talk to them "right now." The dialogue also touches on themes of pain, regret, and feeling alone. The repetition of phrases such as "I can do it" and "It's all right here" suggest an attempt to convince oneself or each other that everything is going to be okay.
The lyrics also contain ambiguous statements that leave the listener to speculate about what happened in the past or may be happening in the present. For example, the line "I wanted to kill him" leaves listeners to wonder about the context and the motivation for the statement. Additionally, the references to time, such as "It was almost thirty years ago" and "Ten, thirty years ago" add to the mystery of the situation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Its Only Right" are intentionally vague, allowing listeners to draw their own conclusions about the conversation and the deeper meaning behind it.
