Facts. Meek has a terrible social media presence. If he stopped E Thugging and just stayed to the music, ppl would think he was solid. Same for Wale too
He didn't didn't have to speak just take action but after that 69 just proved to me what game was saying he's Mickey Mouse in 69 is vulture in a rats body
Idk, I don’t think meek’s growth was stunted. He reached his full potential imo. He lowkey is the GOAT outta philly excluding the Roots. Beans tenure wasn’t as long as meeks
Can't be considered the or even a G.O.A.T. of Philly since Black Thought exists. It stands for greatest...it's not a group thing. The G.O.A.T. of Philly is & always will be Black Thought.
@@TerrellMcDuffie you wildin’. Open Philly hip hop secret: Malik b (RIP) wrote all black thoughts classic verses. Malik would freestyle Vs and then forget them.

I don’t think u understand how cold that nigga is.. he definitely rap good enough to think he had limitless potential.. it’s his substance a lot of times that hold him back
@@djjohnson4114 I couldn’t disagree more I’ve been listening to Meek, I e been in numerous debates I can guarantee you NOBODY has ever stated Meek could be one of the greatest rappers of all-time, yes he is a good rapper but no he’s not one of the greatest
@@AjCubia lmao yes I was there for those tapes and again no one ever said he could be one of the greatest that man is ranked exactly where he should be
It was stunted because he supposed to be up there with Drake he should've blown past Rick Ross by now. He will remain a tier 2 rapper by the way Nicki bailing on him hurt a lil
He was a known battle rapper who lost a beef to a pop rapper who didn't write his own lyrics as he put it. Those materialistic Rolex raps got redundant real quick. Especially since he was aggressively talking down on the listeners who didn't have the luxuries that being an entertainer afforded him.
I just always wanted to know why he didn't flame Drake up in his diss response. I remembered thinking "ooo Meek about to snap" and it just never happened like that. Biggest disappointment of his career imo. Crazy. Still one of the goats though
While I didn't have high hopes from Meek I do believe he fumble the bag as being one of the few East Coast cats...2010s....who appeal to the South & West coast fan. He didn't have the weight of being a NYC lyricist or the ghost of any rapper from the boroughs haunted his career. But I believe the Drake Beef, the foolishness on his IG page & the fact that he never released that significant album is what stunted his growth.
Thank you for not mentioning his public relationships as apart of his stunted growth. Meek, like many talented men, find enough struggle when trying to develop themselves before a love relationship comes into the picture. Hopefully he will get his footing & meet his own expectations
You lost me at "really could've been the greatest rapper of all time". What the???!!!... Kool G Rap, Rakim, Nas, Biggie, 2Pac, Eminem, Black Thought, Jay-Z, Kane, GZA, Jadakiss. How many more do I need to name that he's not even close to?
I’m still disappointed in the return diss track against Drake…smh but Pusha T prevailed and hit the champ with the uppercut. To be honest Drake hasn’t been the same since then.
The problem was Drake listening to J Prince and not releasing that diss track that he has, that J Prince said would have ended Kanye West's career. They ended up beefing anyways and Drake still hasn't put it out, people were waiting for that response to Pusha T's The Story Of Adidon and didn't get one and Drake basically just gave up by listening to J Prince and not putting out that diss track
Yeah Pusha exposed Drake but Drake still got the mainstream media, radio and tik tok kids on his nuts. But Pusha a better rapper than Drake by far but casual "rap fans" can't name 3 Pusha T songs 🤷🏿♂️
Meek should’ve won that beef. I said it then and I’m still saying it now. For a dude who been rapping on the gritty street corners o Philly since 2003, losing to somebody like Drake is embarrassing for him and should’ve never happened. Should’ve been light work for Meek. Should’ve never lost to a song like Back 2 Back knowing where he came from. He played too much with Drake and was fuckin wit them percs too much around that time. And it costed him.
1.) He lost a beef to Drake (that's embarrassing in and of itself). 2.) He goofy on social media. That's a bad look for a rap ngga. 3.) He bunnyhopped on camera for Billionaire Philly 76ers owner, Michael Rubin. They're supposed to be "friends" but, he made Meek shuck n' jive. I still cringe when I see that.
Dreams and Nightmares is that shit. When my Eagles came out to that in the superbowl I knew we was winning. He's made a nice career but he should have been bigger
I don’t think Meeks growth was stunted but I still like the points u bring up .. I would love to see videos on Tory Lanez and soulja boy next .. ps I love both the music and sports stunted growth vids .. keep doing u bro
I absolutely addicted to your content, brother. I love how you bring the listener in with an intro that puts the artist in perspective. It's brilliant. As for Meek, he was never my thing. Hated his flow and delivery. And Drake did body with Back to Back and this is from a guy that isn't even remotely a fan of Drake
Ima big fan of your videos but meek is lowkey one of the successful of the 2010s you had krit Cole wale Sean Asher Roth wale Sean drake Kendrick Lamar and more from that class and he’s one of the few out that’s still doing better his career was revived after the prison stint!! He’s lowkey the best rapper out right now I can’t believe you made this lol
He saying he shouldn't be the "lowkey" best rapper he should be clear cut. Based on where he started. Kinda the same as the Chris Brown video. Like he still dope but he should actually be on a bit higher level than he is. He is a star not a superstar. Superstars are known by non hip hop fans young old black white.

“I kno that u gotta be a thug for her this ain’t wat she meant wen she told u to open up more” 😭😭 first time I heard back to back I restarted the song right then and wanted Meek to destroy drake but it was @ that moment I knew 🥴🥴🥴
It’s a few guys from MMG that were more stunted than Meek. Stalley, Fat Trel, or Pill all have a story behind them not panning out. This was good but it feels like we’re already calling Meek’s career finished. He’s still a relevant artist even if he gets clowned all the time.
Stalley was always a underground grind staple on some curren$y type shit and fat trel was stunted but was basically always gonna be looped into that street anthem kinda Dude like Mo3 or Dolph or Kevin Gates now Pill you gotta big point with that one
I Lost All Respect For Meek When He Clowned Those Waterboys In Atlanta & Then Scooped Up The Minor In The Video. *Meek Lost All Street Credit When 69 Pulled Up On Him & He Didn’t Do Nothing. Meek Didn’t Even Ask For A Fade SMH*
I like your content Meek’s name still holds water in the industry he’s been around 10 years so I feel this video is a reach… but this comment is before I start the video
When Pusha T Hit Drake hard on Story of Adidon, Meek Millz was exposed because he was a battle rapper and supposedly but his response was " I get money, Im really from the streets so I don't bother with corny rap dudes like Drake bcuz I got real killaz with me and I know where this can go". B.S. Im from Phiily and It hurt my soul to witness, then the $20 given to 8 kids on video was the last straw. Dont EVER forget ya ribs were touchin with dirty braids just like those kids. Meek told one kid " Get ya khands off my truck" and the kid looked petrified smh I WAS ASHAMED for black men everywhere at that moment.
And he did have one of the most impressive comebacks of any rapper whose career was declared dead after the Drake beef, the jail stint and Nicki Minaj breakup.
You trippin Meek is the greatest street rapper ever and honestly that exceeded his potential. He became a symbol of hope, started making power moves and goes platinum damn near every time he drops. What more could he have done?
Nah bro.. meek is easily one of the top artists in the game right now.. everything that seemingly hurt a few years back ultimately played to his advantage.. philly stand up!! 💯
@@krazytae3107 but championships came out after all of this.. and he just dropped sumthin a couple months ago.. baby is doing his thing now but meek doin his too
@@samgunz1 I love Meek but Championships was his peak and him being locked up for bullshit hyped that album but it was classic....Meek fell off fr and he still ain't get a artist popping on his label fr...Not even a good boss
I enjoy this series but you are very generous with labeling rappers or their work the "greatest" or "top 3" or classic. I know some people who went into Albums/records/rappers with high expectations off your videos and were completely turned off hiphop, cause they felt "if this is the best hiphop has to offer, why bother"? You might not realise it yet but you now have a voice in hiphop and you actually influence people's decisions regarding the genre so you've got to let them know it's in your opinion when proclaiming something great, because people who don't know better would think its a concensus in hiphop.
His overconfidence, his mouth, and his freaking Twitter fingers 🤦🏾♂️SMH If they weren’t the reasons he would’ve been not just a legend, maybe one of the best
I definitely see the growth stunts even with the success he’s had I definitely expected more when I first heard DC 1 in 2011 he lived out 85% of his potential which will make most pause when they hear stunted growth? “Like how?” I think not bossing up and not signing his own artist to Dreamchaser Records hurt em Snupes passing may have scared him from not trying again I don’t know. But with that meek still has a top 5 stamp in 2010s era lyricalweights but just out of the Top 3 much respect to em either way but he could’ve been #1
Meek had DMX’s cosign and torch but decided to do prison reform rap. That’s what really stunted his growth. He should’ve kept doing songs like Dreams and Nightmares. That was his lane but he abandoned it.
Tbh Back to Back was disrespectful just off the fact that Drake treated that beef like it was a war while them other diss tracks was just made to get under the skin of whoever it was aimed at Drake said he was gon buy some bottles for Charlemagne The God and he did exactly that
Back To Back should NEVER be mentioned with those all time diss tracks. These Aubrey fans are hilarious & had the audacity to quote that World Tour line like it was a hot bar.
Naaaa this video should get deleted this was a bad take 😂 Meek been one of the most consistent in the game for close to 10 years now with crazy business moves ,Reform and he’s most definitely a legend where I’m from he went further than his expectations in life and in the rap game ICONIC! #Pa4TheWin🏀
I think Meek Mandela has gotten as big as he was ever going to be and his growth wasn't really stunted. His social media antics, playground-esque responses to Drake, and his propensity to hypocrisy turned people off him and knocked him down a few pegs. To me, he doesn't have the acumen, charisma, or "it factor" to achieve much longevity in the industry or is someone who was ever going to attain superstar status. He's just a good underdog/rags to riches story. B.o.B. and Kid Cudi are much more deserving of "Stunted Growth" episodes. Keep up the good work!
You definitely bugging TF out. Meek was never seen as a great lyricist - never. His energy is what got him popping. Nothing about him makes me feel like he's really a star and he never comes across like he has the ability to think deep enough to rise above the average street dude. He always got alot of support in the industry and that seems like the only real reason that he's successful
@@therlbred850 His pen always been lukewarm and he keeps the same screaming flow on every song. He was never good enough to even hang with the second tier lyricists of his time in the past or even right now. He don't have clever flows with complex rhyme schemes, he don't got good metaphors or similes (if he has any), he's not good at telling stories. Nobody really puts him on features because why would they? Nobody says "Meek Killed that verse" never.
Meek was really subpar compared to the other Philly rappers when he was coming up. I'm from the Philly area. Joey Jihad, Chic Raw, NH, Reed Dollaz, Vodka, Kre Forch, Slaughter Rico, Scrap Metal, the whole Takedown records, were all bigger than Meek coming up. Meek just aligned himself better than they did
Yeah meek is definitely one of the hardest out right now and definitely has had a great career but anything that was a growth stunt was the fact that he went to jail and his damn judge kept putting him in jail for no reason so I don't understand why you didn't mention him going to jail now at least one time or make it as if it was a stunning or growth stunt
Come on now...... Meek as a GOAT? At best he had best of year credits to aim for. Back to back didn't kill him. Drake got slaughtered by a real MC. Meek got blinded by the lights. Nikki didn't lose focus, Meek did.
The troubling thing about his post about not getting paid from his record company is the fact he said he needs lawyers!🤯🤔🤦🏿♂️ Bro u don't got your affairs in order!?
Rass Kass, Gillie the Kid, Juelz Santana, Rah Digga, Eness, Lupe Fiasco, Cyhi The Prince, Drag On, Souls of Mischief, Monies Love, Kurupt, Shyhiem, Helter Skelter, Beanie Sigel, Joe Budden, Maino... Do some of them.
Where does Meek rank of 2010s rap?
He is top 5 along with Kendrick Sean Cole and Joey
Top 5. Meek the father of these new era street rappers.

Back To Back should NEVER be mentioned with those all time diss tracks. These Aubrey fans are hilarious & had the audacity to quote that World Tour line like it was a hot bar.
He should’ve released war pain right after back to back 🤦🏿
Niggas don’t even mention war pain bro
@@tyrekesantana8588 fax🤦🏿
Do one on Asher Paul Roth please cause this kind of a reach tbh
You say everyone could’ve been the greatest rapper ever lol.
This Comment Hit The Nail On The Head And Should Be Pinned. The Lines Are Getting More Blurred Each Video
Technically they COULD. Though obviously some had WAY better shots than others lol
Facts! He’s always reaching!
He said one of greatest in the 2010s not once did he say all time
@@VaughnnTooRaww 0:52 🤔
Naaaa this video should get deleted this was a bad take 😂 Meek been one of the most consistent in the game for close to 10 years now with crazy business moves ,Reform and he’s most definitely a legend where I’m from he went further than his expectations in life and in the rap game ICONIC! #Pa4TheWin🏀
💯
I think Meek Mandela has gotten as big as he was ever going to be and his growth wasn't really stunted. His social media antics, playground-esque responses to Drake, and his propensity to hypocrisy turned people off him and knocked him down a few pegs. To me, he doesn't have the acumen, charisma, or "it factor" to achieve much longevity in the industry or is someone who was ever going to attain superstar status. He's just a good underdog/rags to riches story. B.o.B. and Kid Cudi are much more deserving of "Stunted Growth" episodes. Keep up the good work!
2010 ain’t no damn golden era of hip hop
He’s still top 10 maybe even top 5 of this generation of MCs🤷🏾♂️
I like Meek my only problem with him is that he's very emotional.
His growth was definitely stunted but it wasn't stopped
The internet wanna see Meek lose so bad.😭 #thiswasnotneeded
Not even a little bit 😂
His Social Media Persona Contributed Largely To This , I Won’t Lie .
You definitely bugging TF out. Meek was never seen as a great lyricist - never. His energy is what got him popping. Nothing about him makes me feel like he's really a star and he never comes across like he has the ability to think deep enough to rise above the average street dude. He always got alot of support in the industry and that seems like the only real reason that he's successful
@Str8 Fwd he definitely gotta nice pen, I think him being able to flow on any beat gave him lead way also
@@therlbred850 His pen always been lukewarm and he keeps the same screaming flow on every song. He was never good enough to even hang with the second tier lyricists of his time in the past or even right now. He don't have clever flows with complex rhyme schemes, he don't got good metaphors or similes (if he has any), he's not good at telling stories. Nobody really puts him on features because why would they? Nobody says "Meek Killed that verse" never.
Damn u wrote meek off early but I get it tho he want go down as that “2pac back” nga…GT COVER MY GUY 🗣💎
I just came here for the comments on this one......
Meek is definitely one of the best ever and top 5 from Philly
Meek was really subpar compared to the other Philly rappers when he was coming up. I'm from the Philly area. Joey Jihad, Chic Raw, NH, Reed Dollaz, Vodka, Kre Forch, Slaughter Rico, Scrap Metal, the whole Takedown records, were all bigger than Meek coming up. Meek just aligned himself better than they did
Yeah meek is definitely one of the hardest out right now and definitely has had a great career but anything that was a growth stunt was the fact that he went to jail and his damn judge kept putting him in jail for no reason so I don't understand why you didn't mention him going to jail now at least one time or make it as if it was a stunning or growth stunt
I’m not saying his growth wasn’t stunted, I just don’t think it was stunted enough to be on this channel.
Expensive Pain is a great album, y’all should go listen if you haven’t already.
Claiming this bum coulda been one of the GOATs is a major stretch!!!
Do Big Sean
Meek growth wasn’t stunted MyG 💯
#LoudBoys
U hit it right on the head
Come on now...... Meek as a GOAT? At best he had best of year credits to aim for. Back to back didn't kill him. Drake got slaughtered by a real MC. Meek got blinded by the lights. Nikki didn't lose focus, Meek did.
"Must see TV, but you can't win with him...salute to Meek" Bruuhhh
The troubling thing about his post about not getting paid from his record company is the fact he said he needs lawyers!🤯🤔🤦🏿♂️ Bro u don't got your affairs in order!?
I could've sworn this video was uploaded before... This a reupload, Stunted?
And wale was the money and the star them hits
Hmmm, he’s the coldest Young OG in the game now!! What’s crazy is that Meek and Travis were signed to Grand Hustle!!
Its hard to evolve when you're facing years in prison for stuntin' on your bike, IJS!!!
Please do a Big k.r.i.t stunted video
Bruh what? Supposed to be the best of all time? Ain’t no way you believe that. He doesn’t have the skill or the songs to even be considered
