Final yr the MTA celebrated the reminiscence of the late-great Infamous B.I.G. by giving him his personal unique MetroCard and with the success of that rollout, the Metropolitan Transit Authority has determined to get in on Hip-Hop’s fiftieth birthday with extra restricted version MetroCards.

Over the weekend the MTA introduced that it was rolling out tens of 1000’s unique MetroCards which is able to characteristic a few of your favourite Hip-Hop legends and artists. When you’ll discover that artists like Nas, Jay-Z and Biggie aren’t amongst the names of icons used for these unique playing cards, the lineup remains to be fairly spectacular and will definitely be vital merchandise for Hip-Hoppers and collectors alike.

Per the MTA, 40,000 MetroCards that featured LL Cool J and the late Pop Smoke have been accessible beginning Saturday, August 5. The playing cards with rappers’ photos have been accessible at MetroCard merchandising machines at Forest Hills station for LL and and on the Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy and New Heaps Ave stations for Pop Smoke.

Rakim and Cam’ron will even get 40,000 MetroCards beginning later within the month. Their playing cards are schedule to be systemwide.

As dope as that is, we’d like the MTA to step it up and add extra Hip-Hop icons to the celebration.

It’s solely proper.
