He just missed that spot because of the Roc collapse, he was on his way after 'Tough Luv', 2005/2006 should have been his year, and now...just wrong place, wrong connects, Meek is garbage compared to Chris, it's kinda sad that dude is everywhere now...
Chris is ill, has the heart in his raps, that Meek lacks...love most of his solo stuff, but I think his production has been lacking for years, since the post Roc days, that sophmore Gunz album didn't help matters either, Jay just left them after that...just another tragedy of the ROC breakup.
