Rick Ross stops through Kiss 101.7 FM for a interview with Rob Jay about
his upcoming album "God Forgives I Don't" in stores July 31. SelfMade 2
In Stores Now. Meek Mill debut album Dreams and NightMares in stores
August 28.
Now I don't know if some of you know how big this is. I know the HARDCORE Meek (and hip hop) fans may know but the casual fan may not. T.I. and Meek go back a bit...you know what? Footage at the bottom. You will see why and how this has all come FULL CIRCLE for all parties involved.*
Now back to this video. I'm sure you saw the trailers. Benny Boom did an great job shooting this joint. Meek is dirt bike aficionado and it was good to see him rep that in the video. Ditto with them taking it 'to the people' @ the setting. I tried to tell folks that Meek has his 'own lane' and not worry about Ross messing with it. This should be proof enough.
As 9th Wonder said last night on his Ustream, you better get up on this Ross/Meek and let that 'subject matter' issue that you may have go. Good music is good music and this young cat makes it. Period. End of story.
As for the history between Tip and Meek...
In
2008, rumors sprung up that T.I. had signed Meek to his label Grand
Hustle, but the cosign never amounted to an ink stain. Although it's
unclear as to why the deal never materialized, Meek says he still
salutes the Atlanta giant. "I
talked to Tip even when I was with Maybach, he already know my mind
frame because me and Tip ended up becoming good friends later on down
the line just hanging out with each other," he explains. "We
were going through the same type of stuff, had the same type of cases
and it’s like, we just ended up talking and building all the time, we
didn’t even end up rapping like that together." As far as what's going on with his own four-man squad, Mister Mill says to expect a follow-up to Self Made, Vol. 1 before the new year. "We’re just going in [with Vol. 2]how we did the last one, easy man. It ain’t nothing to me.”
*I will keep it funky. I was NOT happy that Rick and T.I. had an 'issue' a LONG TIME AGO or that the diss over the "Beautiful" (Snoop Dogg/Pharrell) beat was made. I WAS happy when they finally put it aside. Good to see grown men do grown men things. @ resolving WHATEVER was the issue.
So for ME personally, I feel like this is a huge deal. Not that Rick and T.I. CLEARLY HAVEN'T WORKED TOGETHER. 9 piece, Maybach Music III, etc, etc. It is the fact that it will the common denominator is Meek in this particular situation.
Probably the best part of this video to me was watching Meek pay respect to Beans and Young Chris and them give him that same love. That and Freeway falling through as well. I see Rick, who has paid his dues whether you know it or not after first being signed to Suave House then Slip N Slide AND THEN to Def Jam, learning from those that came before him. Making sure that no matter how big he gets, he still isn't too big to be in the real spots where real people can reach out and touch him. Even better to hear to Meek saying what he did at the end about 'dreaming'....and that his dream is coming true.
Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here..
SO SUPPORT THEM!!!
