History Music / MeekMill

Like most rappers from his label, Meek's subject matter largely consists of songs about streets and clubs. What makes him stand out among them is the overall tone of his music. While he's made plenty of bragging songs, a large portion of his work--with topics ranging from watching his neighbor turn into a cocaine addict to vowing revenge against the man that killed his father--takes a realistic and gritty approach to street life. The page quote itself is taken from a song about a young gangster who killed his friend for a kilo of cocaine.

** First, his feud with Music/{{Drake}}, which allegedly stemmed from Drake not helping promote ''Dreams Worth More Than Money''. Meek claimed Drake used a ghostwriter on their collaboration "R.I.C.O.", which spurred drake to release "Charged Up" and "Back to Back" near-simultaneously in response. Meek responded with "Wanna Know", but the wider hip-hop community declared Drake the winner, and Meek would also be stymied by a [[ScrewedByTheLawyers copyright takedown]], courtesy of Wrestling/{{WWE}}, for illegally sampling Wrestling/TheUndertaker's theme music. Drake would proceed to run a victory lap well into 2016, and also dropped "Summer Sixteen" as extra salt in the wound en route to releasing ''Views'' to wild critical success.
