Meek one of the realest in the game. He fills in the void of street appeal that use to be the majority of hip hop and is now pretty much extinct. He speaks and motivates those from the bottom, the streets and rough situations. That's what "real hip hop" was about. Yea he flex a little to much sometimes but that's how those from the bottom show their appreciation for success. He yells to much? Ha. You new dudes would have never survived the 90's era. It was all about being vocal and heard, expressing yourself. All the new rappers now whisper, mumble, pillow talk etc. All the stuff that was never respected in hip hop. Meek is from the lineage of Jay, Dmx, 50, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, The Lox etc. Rough, Rugged, Raw hip hop not this new emo rap stuff.
Rod Markie All true. Rap started on the corners. Could you imagine Drake or Big Sean standing on a corner in a cypher? No The new generation of rappers came up in front of computer monitors and keyboards.
Queen Chaser Never bro. As you said, all these dudes came up in the CPU game. They never was out in the street, sharpening their skills and embracing their environment. Meek was, that's why he got that loud rugged street appeal that the game lacks.
Meek's perspective on the streets and why kids be thuggin is very eye opening. I never thought about it that way, that shit make alot of sense. May not be the best of choices, but the way he said it makes sense
Interviews like this makes me proud to be a meek fan , he isn't fake or anything . Just real and straight . Plus he is smart lol good job meek on your album proud of you 🔥🔥
I respected this interview!! We all know about Nicki, Him being locked up, but sometimes really getting to know what a person thinks and their perpective is what counts. Meek Mills got a lot of knowledge and I respect where he coming from.
britforlife32 Yeah, that's the part where he became one of my favorite rappers in the game right now. I ain't heard real shit like that in an interview since Pac.
+1Truth 2Lies fr watch the one on the breakefeast club the one where he got a black shirt he said some real inspirational shit on there. He giving hope to a lot of kids in the hood
Everybody's always dissing Meek Millz. Saying he's Lame and is always losing. I don't think we're on the same page here. This young man gets to do Naughty stuff. With Nicki Ma fuckin Naj whenever and wherever he wants to. You can't take an "L" in those circumstances. Literally. Cuz #WarriorsNeverFold and Good people #LegendzNeverDie
Meek broke it down the best way I have ever heard anyone in his position do it. I just had the conversation the other day about the traumatization the HOOD is under. We grow up and become desensitized to the violence and the poverty we face everyday. Respect to the homie MeekMill!!!
Not a big fan of meek, but he spoke on some real shit in regards to many of what the youth in these urban areas have to go through on a daily basis. I feel that shit, cause I was one of them. Didn't let it define me, and somehow made it out. But many are not as fortunate. Salute to meek mill.
I Don't See How Anyone Doesn't Genuinely Like Meek His Personality Is So Fuckin Layed Back He Mad Cool Same For Nicki But Everyone Quick To Judge & Not Take The Time Out To Really See "Onika And Rihmeek" But Anywho I Wish Them Luck They So Cute 💕😍 #Omeeka
Bro how would you know she said on twitter shes in love with him and on bet awards she called him boo soo yah bruh they smashing she be in his hood everything smh
Man this is a great interview,so much depth to what he was talking about.he should continue to articulate his story in his music and talk less about the flashy stuff ect.het claims he got the juice, there's responsibility that come with that. Keep showing the young guys a different path other than destruction.i think this guy has what it takes to be the best,he might be the best but his subject matter must grow and have more depth.
Meek Mill, speaks the truth. He's absolutely right when he speaks about mental illness, they write off all the black kids calling them thugs but they don't ever think to ask why these kids are doing what they do.. they just don't care about our kids, what a crazy, sad, broken world we live in. Prayer changes things let's get on our knees and pray for our children, we're all they got.
Sway: "I hear you talking with a lot of bravado in your lyrics" Meek: "Bravado? What's that? Get a dictionary homie, it'll help you get your vocab and bars up
Sean Dafny Yeah, it's a book people used to read to learn and understand new words. A lot of the best rappers keep a dictionary around. I don't know what 2015 has to do with not knowing simple words. Would you rather I said "get the dictionary app or go to dictionary.com?" Smartphones are the reason a lot of people walk around dumb as sh*t these days, with no information retention. "I'll just google it!"
The best part of this interview, and my thumbs up came, when Mill made a lot of GREAT points towards the end starting at:@31:31... but at 33:53- blew it out the water- TRUE!!!
I normally don't make comments on RUclips, but after reading a few you can tell a lot of you are either immature, trolls, or simply disconnected from real life. If you watched this interview and didn't get a genuine down to earth feel from Meek you really need to evaluate your life.
Stopped f'n with Meek after he "liked" the IG video of Safaree being pressed in BK. Son is mad corny for that. The boy ain't do nothing to him. He's gassed he has his ex, lol, c'mon.
***** You just asked me how do I know anything going on between them, to turn around and tell me what's going on between them. How do YOU know and why is my credibility questioned but yours isn't? GTFOH, hypocrite. Where's the tweets? Show me. Cause I can send a link to what I said. Or go on the ShadeRoom's IG and look back to the month where the BK incident happened.
DreadfulControversy thats stupid. People "like" shit all day everyday. nobody sits and makes life changing decisions before thhey double tap. you and the rest of the people mad at him for that thinking too deep into it.
DreadfulControversy Ure a man, who really on some female shit. I hope u know there relationship aint real. Its a management thing. But it seems to work..going the "Jay-Z & Beyonce" tip. I bet Roc Nation management is involved somehow..lol.
Listening to Meek's interviews makes me want to buy his album. I don't know if this is an act he's putting on, but he's saying real shit that everyone truly needs to hear.
What meek mill said is so true I already liked him but now I feel like I actually understand him he just so real like everything he said made sense ppl need to stop having a one sided look towards rappers or just ppl In general cause of wat they said in song or rumors they heard. Also I'm a huge nicki minaj fan and ppl also need to stop doin dat to her cause ppl don't always give her the credit she deserves
I wonder if meek tired of every second in interviews people talking about him and his relationship... I fucks wit meek mill no doubt in my top 10 for today's rappers
His demeanor is the total opposite from Hot 97 and TBC and it's because Sway does his research and home work on an artist's craft and not so much of that gossip bullshit.
Meek brought up Lil Snupe cause the last time he was there, Snupe was with him. R.I.P i can only imagine the tracks him and snupe would be making if he was still around.
here's my 2 cents for everybody who even cares to read this meek is a nice rapper but that's all he gets a nice rapper. Every time i try to dissect the lyrics to find that extra top notch rapping, but some how he doesn't go there maybe he needs to sharpen he's vocabulary. If his soul ambition is to touch the people he did that a long time ago with the classic intro, Since then i feel he was same old Meek no new layers unlike his compatriot Wale who i feel is ahead of him by a little bit
After seeing this interview, I know have S so much respect for Meek Mill now like he's been through a lot and plus I wrote an essay about racism and mental illness of POC. Much respect to him honestly 🙌.
yall can talk about meek all day long.. but meek saying some real shit that no one wants to talk about you can see the interveiwers uncomfortable hearing about it thats why i like meek he tells it how it is.. its funny to me everybody want to be sold dream but nobody want to be chasing them! meek is motivation
DWMTM is a complete body of work. His mixtapes are super dope but he actually put out a GREAT album. I thought dreams and nightmares was dope but this is amazing. Top 5 album of 2015
Meek mill is defiantly the realist in game like From telling how he acts and moves around in interviews is just by what he experienced in growing up and what he goes through😓😇😢
Lol yesterday with Angie Martinez he was saying how he wasn't digging all these rappers and today that's something else.. Better hold on to that album when still can, and be appreciate and thankful to the help he got on it.
Two things I hope they address one day. Who were these rappers who didn't want to come up to the show and spit and who has people write their lyrics for them? I had forgotten about these topics until today due to Sway bringing it to the forefront of my mind. Sway praises everyone so I can't tell who are the people he is talking about.
Damnnnnnn see i was never really a fan of mills but damnnn boy spit TRUTH!!! His last words were REAL AS FUCK!! For him sayin that out loud as an artist and not sugar coating it gives him REAL ESSENCE! Meek young so for him to even air that out instead of sum dumb shit.. Wow meek! RESPECT!!!
Meek one of the realest in the game. He fills in the void of street appeal that use to be the majority of hip hop and is now pretty much extinct.

Queen Chaser Never bro. As you said, all these dudes came up in the CPU game. They never was out in the street, sharpening their skills and embracing their environment. Meek was, that's why he got that loud rugged street appeal that the game lacks.
David James Lol, Facts.
Rod Markie hes the realest left for this generation......they need it
Meek's perspective on the streets and why kids be thuggin is very eye opening. I never thought about it that way, that shit make alot of sense. May not be the best of choices, but the way he said it makes sense
Meek seem cool as hell
Hell is hot not cool
Lmfaooooo ^
Lol
Really dont kno why people hate on him
All of you are a bunch of groupies.
Interviews like this makes me proud to be a meek fan , he isn't fake or anything . Just real and straight . Plus he is smart lol good job meek on your album proud of you 🔥🔥
arig7771

Okay he has knowledge , geez guys
He was really speaking truthful and had a great perspective on things.
I don't always always listen to meek but when I do ..... I play all his shit one time!
Funny
Scott Martin lol
Lol why
Respect his work ethic, his music, his brand and his relationship.
Let Meek (and Nicki) live their life (and lives).
The real is back!! Congrats on another dope album brutha!! Keep going
I love Sway interviews because he is like the only host who actually cares about the MUSIC
Anyone notice Meek look like Martin Luther King
Oms bro
They both have dreams. But Meek is living his dreams a bit more longer.
They both Dream Chasers
He look like pepe the frog meme
Lmaoo Uncel Ruckus lmaoooo u everywhere stop it disrespectful 😭😭
He's a really intelligent and humble guy. People definitely have the wrong perception of him.
"Bravado"
Dre RicanRasta everybody aint TI bro
Queen Chaser looool
Meek Mill acts weird during interviews
BlameTyrone i thought the same damn thing
He has ADHD
***** yeah he talks about those problems at the end of the interview traumatism and all that
***** lol i don't follow meek mills life or music so this was all news to me
Or sometimes he is off a perc 😂
I respected this interview!! We all know about Nicki, Him being locked up, but sometimes really getting to know what a person thinks and their perpective is what counts. Meek Mills got a lot of knowledge and I respect where he coming from.
The last couple minutes of this interview were too real. Respect Meek
britforlife32 Yeah, that's the part where he became one of my favorite rappers in the game right now. I ain't heard real shit like that in an interview since Pac.
+1Truth 2Lies fr watch the one on the breakefeast club the one where he got a black shirt he said some real inspirational shit on there. He giving hope to a lot of kids in the hood

Meek always stood out in MMG to me. Always coming wit that 🔥🔥
Meek broke it down the best way I have ever heard anyone in his position do it. I just had the conversation the other day about the traumatization the HOOD is under. We grow up and become desensitized to the violence and the poverty we face everyday. Respect to the homie MeekMill!!!
Ok. He just gained a fan. Honest as hell and super real. Wow!
bruh meek mill is on every interview this week
Yea it's called promotion
You stoopid bro ?
Not a big fan of meek, but he spoke on some real shit in regards to many of what the youth in these urban areas have to go through on a daily basis. I feel that shit, cause I was one of them. Didn't let it define me, and somehow made it out. But many are not as fortunate. Salute to meek mill.
Wise dude... The album is dope and he is always raw in his interviews... I'm glad rap is back
This is real shit. I appreciate what he has to say. More rappers should be talking about the stuff he is.
I got much more respect for Meek after this. He real, no gimmicks! Cut and drier than turkey with no gravy!
I Don't See How Anyone Doesn't Genuinely Like Meek His Personality Is So Fuckin Layed Back He Mad Cool Same For Nicki But Everyone Quick To Judge & Not Take The Time Out To Really See "Onika And Rihmeek" But Anywho I Wish Them Luck They So Cute 💕😍 #Omeeka
Rihmeek? his name is Robert
His name is Robert and his middle name is Rahmeek with an A not and I
Actually his middle is spelled with an I his sister confirmed it
the only deal with his "relationship" with Nicki is strictly business. He needed the promotion for his new album. Its all an act.
Bro how would you know she said on twitter shes in love with him and on bet awards she called him boo soo yah bruh they smashing she be in his hood everything smh
nah
Not really u sound dumb asf
Nah he's a big enough artist to make it on his own. Came out of jail and started ripping the radio waves without her.
Naahh he's too real to pull some fake ish like that..open ya eyes an know fake from real bruh
FINALLY HE BROUGHT UP THE INTRO WITH SNUPE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE ALBUM AT LEAST WE'LL GET IT NEXT PROJECT
Man this is a great interview,so much depth to what he was talking about.he should continue to articulate his story in his music and talk less about the flashy stuff ect.het claims he got the juice, there's responsibility that come with that. Keep showing the young guys a different path other than destruction.i think this guy has what it takes to be the best,he might be the best but his subject matter must grow and have more depth.
Living Legend.. Recognize greatness when its here and not when its gone.
The ending of this interview is too real. Its a shame that we never get an excuse but they do.
Meek Mill, speaks the truth. He's absolutely right when he speaks about mental illness, they write off all the black kids calling them thugs but they don't ever think to ask why these kids are doing what they do.. they just don't care about our kids, what a crazy, sad, broken world we live in. Prayer changes things let's get on our knees and pray for our children, we're all they got.
Thats true alot of kids from the hood are mentally ill... thats REAL talk Meek.. I like this brotha he has a chill spirit.
Got real around the 15 minute mark. Good stuff. Thanks Sway

Sway: "I hear you talking with a lot of bravado in your lyrics"
Meek: "Bravado? What's that?
Get a dictionary homie, it'll help you get your vocab and bars up
Vibrato
meicy10 No, it's "bravado" right after 6:15, try again

You think u smart 😂😂
Sean Dafny Yeah, it's a book people used to read to learn and understand new words. A lot of the best rappers keep a dictionary around. I don't know what 2015 has to do with not knowing simple words. Would you rather I said "get the dictionary app or go to dictionary.com?" Smartphones are the reason a lot of people walk around dumb as sh*t these days, with no information retention. "I'll just google it!"
Get J Cole, Drake and Kendrick Lamar up here Sway! 🔥🔥
The best part of this interview, and my thumbs up came, when Mill made a lot of GREAT points towards the end starting at:@31:31... but at 33:53- blew it out the water- TRUE!!!
MrAlex3132003 snap!

DreadfulControversy
Ure a man, who really on some female shit. I hope u know there relationship aint real. Its a management thing. But it seems to work..going the "Jay-Z & Beyonce" tip. I bet Roc Nation management is involved somehow..lol.
I've develop a different kind of respect of Meek Mill after watching this interview!!! We've got to take the time to understand people...
The end of this interview with was so good
Listening to Meek's interviews makes me want to buy his album. I don't know if this is an act he's putting on, but he's saying real shit that everyone truly needs to hear.
Peep his Instagram most of it is fucking around he at least seems to be a pretty cool dude
Meek said fuck them Dre beats let me used my head phones lol
This shit got real af in those last couple minutes. He made a lot of good points about mental illness in the hood.
Holy shit, I did not expect such an insightful rant towards the end of the interview.
Dope interview
What meek mill said is so true I already liked him but now I feel like I actually understand him he just so real like everything he said made sense ppl need to stop having a one sided look towards rappers or just ppl In general cause of wat they said in song or rumors they heard. Also I'm a huge nicki minaj fan and ppl also need to stop doin dat to her cause ppl don't always give her the credit she deserves
Safaree probally somewhere recording a diss record
***** hahahah bruh too soon
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He actually did record one.
You almost made me cry with that one. Lol
😂😂😭😭 Hilarious
Meek's the man. Always keeps everything 100
SWAY- CAN WE PLEASE GET AN INTERVIEW WITH AFENI SHAKUR!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!
Miles Kerr This
Miles Kerr much needed
Ive been asking for that as doon as the Trayvon Martin Story broke
As soon****
Miles Kerr That would be so dope! He gotta give her an hour and a half!
why Meek's barber sleeping on his hairline tho??
He is in the early stages of a receding hairline.
😂😂😂😂😂
Hope not he'd be a creature if he was bald
Yung cino that's that album work aftermath
Lol he's garbage
I wonder if meek tired of every second in interviews people talking about him and his relationship... I fucks wit meek mill no doubt in my top 10 for today's rappers
Album was pure fire, I don't see how people have so much hate
good interview!
I luv the way he brags on his relationship it seems genuine.
good interview..I have renewed respect for Mr. Mills
His demeanor is the total opposite from Hot 97 and TBC and it's because Sway does his research and home work on an artist's craft and not so much of that gossip bullshit.
Why does sway always big up drake as some super lyrical emcee?
How Sway industry fanatic
How Sway hes close friends with him
FL Drake is a good MC. He may not be Big Pun lyricism but he has good direct lines that hit on time and can be witty.
FL That might explain it
J Da Kid Yeah I guess
When sway mentioned lil snupe meeks facial expression changed interesting .
It's a dead homie.
Meek brought up Lil Snupe cause the last time he was there, Snupe was with him. R.I.P i can only imagine the tracks him and snupe would be making if he was still around.
I don't think you guys understood my comment.
kid nauti what exactly do you mean than? just curious now
liltwinston chicken beef
"YO MEEK MILL REALLY IN THERE TAKING A SHIT RIGHT NOW!" LMFAO
stfu
great interview
Man Dreams and Nightmares still one of my go to songs I love Meek Mill I like represents us in Philly 💯🔥🔥🔥
Good interview
I fuck with meek
here's my 2 cents for everybody who even cares to read this meek is a nice rapper but that's all he gets a nice rapper. Every time i try to dissect the lyrics to find that extra top notch rapping, but some how he doesn't go there maybe he needs to sharpen he's vocabulary. If his soul ambition is to touch the people he did that a long time ago with the classic intro, Since then i feel he was same old Meek no new layers unlike his compatriot Wale who i feel is ahead of him by a little bit
younis sherdone wale ahead of meek by miles
his albums fire
After seeing this interview, I know have S
so much respect for Meek Mill now like he's been through a lot and plus I wrote an essay about racism and mental illness of POC. Much respect to him honestly 🙌.
Good interview...
Real interview hands down
'They just call you a thug and keep it moving'- meek speaking the truth towards the end of the interview
Couple lines keep you up for them interviews... Meek killin it right now tho
yall can talk about meek all day long.. but meek saying some real shit that no one wants to talk about you can see the interveiwers uncomfortable hearing about it thats why i like meek he tells it how it is.. its funny to me everybody want to be sold dream but nobody want to be chasing them! meek is motivation
Meek be Speakin' the truth
Meek be Speakin' the truth
this interview made me want hear the album. I didn't care for the promo he did on the other stations
8:10 he was sayin a lot of ppl dont be writing they raps lol it was already plottin on the low
He was foreshadowing the Drake ghost writing fiasco
i like the ending of this...very good to hear
Flip yo headphones
That shit annoyed me
LOL..chill
GREAT INTERVIEW
DWMTM is a complete body of work. His mixtapes are super dope but he actually put out a GREAT album. I thought dreams and nightmares was dope but this is amazing. Top 5 album of 2015
The last five minutes tho. He is the realist rapper ever
I'm 15, I seen paid in full at 13, as soon as a seen Mitch I thought of Meek. They both dark, waves, The song Rico (character from paid in full)
Yo, Meek spit some real shit about kids in the streets. The answer for society's ills are more than slogans
Meek mill is defiantly the realist in game like From telling how he acts and moves around in interviews is just by what he experienced in growing up and what he goes through😓😇😢
Lauryn hill should have been number 1 on his list of top female mc's. She is honestly the best in my opinion.
Lol yesterday with Angie Martinez he was saying how he wasn't digging all these rappers and today that's something else.. Better hold on to that album when still can, and be appreciate and thankful to the help he got on it.
Meek does speak real shit! Fuck what anyone say!!
I fuck wit Meek Mill everything he say in his interviews be 100!
omg can't wait to hear that intro with lil snupe tho
That jump out the face with Future!!!!!!! Fiyah!!.........but R.I.P. LIL Snupe
start watching at 29:08 to see meek just spitting truth after truth
+hpcrazy06 yup thats some of the realest shit ive heard in the past few years, respect meek for that
One of the realest Mc's in the game!!💯
True messiah from the hood..I salute u Meek #DreamChasers
Two things I hope they address one day. Who were these rappers who didn't want to come up to the show and spit and who has people write their lyrics for them? I had forgotten about these topics until today due to Sway bringing it to the forefront of my mind. Sway praises everyone so I can't tell who are the people he is talking about.
aw shit...I pre-ordered the cd and did not get the 2 bonus tracks, wtf, lol!!!
Damnnnnnn see i was never really a fan of mills but damnnn boy spit TRUTH!!! His last words were REAL AS FUCK!! For him sayin that out loud as an artist and not sugar coating it gives him REAL ESSENCE! Meek young so for him to even air that out instead of sum dumb shit.. Wow meek! RESPECT!!!
We want J. Cole or Kendrick Lamar for an interview!
