Tré takes you back to November 1, 1997, a week when hip-hop’s sound was expanding in every direction. From Mack 10’s West Coast backyard anthem to Lil’ Kim’s all-star remix, from Bone Thugs’ harmonized reflections to Mase riding high at number one, this countdown is packed with heavy hitters and unforgettable moments. Along the way, we dig into the innovation shaping the charts, the collabs that felt like events, and the tracks that defined an era.
