A Meek Mill-Big Sean collaboration tape would be absolutely incredible. A quick sidebar: this is Big Sean's best work in a very long time. 'Burn' is this tape's 'I'ma Boss' it has all the components of a successful rap song. The pace is breakneck, the bass knocks like crazy, and the lyrics are a steady stream of self-lauding, cocky, badass-ness, executed, of course, to perfection. Big Sean and Meek Mill have styles that complement each other perfectly. by Jahlil Beats): This is, in my humble opinion, the absolute best track on the tape. Notable bars: Drake - "And good ain't good enough, and your hood ain't hood enough / Spent my whole life putting on, you spend your whole life putting up" Meek Mill - "Lord forgive me for my sins, I'm just tryna win and sh-t / Devil in a dress but if she knock I let her in"Ĥ) Burn ft. Since both the Drake feature and the upbeat tone to the song are conducive to radio airtime, don't be surprised if this song becomes a soundtrack to your summer. The chorus is catchy, Drake and Jeremih both come strong, and Mill is on top of his game also. Although he is possibly outshone on this particular track by Drake's excellent verse (certainly there is no shame in this), this song still stands out as one of the best on the tape. by KeY Wane): This is a feel-good track with a bumping beat in other words, Meek Mill at his very best. Notable bars: "The meek shall inherit the earth / So I'mma own this b-tch until I'm buried in dirt" "And I don't know why, I just feel like I'm the one / They label me a victim but now look what I become / Or should I say became, I don't do it for the fame" "The system made me stronger / And being broke just gave me my hunger"ģ) Amen ft.
This track serves as another reminder of this. There have been plenty of hype rappers that emerge for a few years but fail to find a permanent niche in the rap game however, few of these put the feeling into their music that Meek Mill does. In particular, this song speaks to all that Robert Williams overcame to become the Meek Mill that we know today: poverty, fear that he might be killed in his sleep, legal troubles, and friends that turned against him. by All Star): Essentially an extension of the Intro, this song features a reflective by Meek on his coming to fame, eloquent interjections by mixtape host DJ Drama on the nature of dreams, and a beat by All Star that can best be described as, well, dreamlike. Notable bars: "Yeah, it's a lot of bad b-tches in the building, Amen / Came in the game killin' n-ggas, J Lin"Ģ) Ready or Not (prod.

This is an excellent two-minute lead-in to a series of excellent songs at the outset of the tape. If DC1 was about chasing dreams, DC2 is a reflection on having achieved those dreams (and, of course, aspiring for even greater). by The Beat Bully): If perhaps this intro does not match the lyrical hype provided by the A One-produced Intro from the original Dreamchasers, the sample from a Muhammad Ali speech that sets the self-lauding tone that Meek uses throughout the tape. Give it a read, but more importantly, give Dreamchasers 2 a listen and continue to keep an eye on Meek Mill and Maybach Music in years to come.ġ) Intro (prod. At the very least, the Dreamchasers series as well as his less acclaimed Flamerz series have provided plenty of quality music in a remarkably short period of time.īelow is a track by track review of DC2. Incredible flow and sound, impressive and rapidly improving lyrical talents, depth of experience that seems almost a prerequisite for a success in rap (Williams has already served one jail sentence on gun charges), and a deal with MMG bode well for a successful career. Named the seventh hottest rapper in the game right now by MTV in February, one could make an argument that just three months later Meek Mill, christened Robert Williams, is hotter than any of the artists who had been listed ahead of him. Ten days after the release of the project, it is clear: Dreamchasers 2 is simply a continuation of the start to an impressive career, garnering an astounding 2,750,000+ downloads on alone, an improvement nearly sixfold over his last effort and good enough to be the most-downloaded tape of 2012 thus far.
Certainly Philadelphia-born, up-and-coming hip hop artist Meek Mill faced a tall task in releasing his latest effort, Dreamchasers 2, on May 7th after all, his first tape, Dreamchasers, exceeded 500,000 downloads, ranked #5 on 's list of the greatest mixtapes of 2011, and brought him to the forefront of the popular hip-hop along with fellow Maybach Music labelmates Wale and Rick Ross.
