This is a testament to Trevor's "aura" in interviews. Meek started out stiff and nervous but you can clearly see how relaxed he gets by the end. He's leaning back and talking freely. That's dope.
DopebyMania absolutely, that’s a great point! I loved how he did it so chill and subtle too. Great interview all around. God bless Meek and the burden he carries for so many people without a voice. I really would love to see him do some more longer form type of interview series or documentary. There is just so much he needs to get out that he worries about running out of time. I can’t imagine how tough it is to deliver this painful message with the grace that he has, especially weighed against how good it must feel to have an album go #1, after all he’s been through: It’s all tremendously heavy subject matter that he is handling so well!
@kobe robertson and yet you trip all over yourself to stand in awe of one of the filthiest obese intellectually lazy morons to sit his ample backside into the presidency
Meek has turned out to be a likable guy and a inspiration! The court and the internet tried to destroy him , but he’s still standing strong with his head held high trying to make a difference in the world. God bless him💕
kobe robertson You sound like a corny dumb ass. You talk as if you’ve seen me talk shit about this man somewhere. I’ve seen progress, growth and a young men who is evolving into a grown and introspective men. So I commend his progress and I look forward to continuing to see him grow and inspire young black men.
Exactly though through the lenz of white privilege these "nationalists" think by forcing people to "stand errect" for the freaking flag so many died for so you wouldnt have to...they're not acting like bigoted asshats, damn
You could see that Trevor could truly relate to this guy. That was pretty much the fate of many a black man in South Africa when he was growing up. And pretty much now.
@@Dorkeydaze That is fake news. The rate of murder of white farmers is less than the rate of murder of South Africans. South Africa has broader murder/crime problem, not a white farmer murder problem.
He's doing good by using his voice for this. I work in a jail in Florida and it's worse than he says sometimes. Between officers that think they're somehow inherently better than criminals, and the inmates themselves feeling like they have less value and are expected to misbehave, there is an environment that promotes recidivism. We also have people with legitimate mental disorders that make the quality of life for other incarcerated people much worse. Reform is needed. I hope people listen to Meek Mill. Unfortunately with our polarized echo chambers, I worry that his message will be lost in the mix of the "liberal snowflakes" and "celebrity activists". He'll just be considered another complaining kneeler by the far right.
Only change is thru REVOLUTION! We need to reform and upgrade the whole mentality of the Government...Republican and Democrats both are way too comfortable for change to happen...we are lower class people in there eyes. They all talk good during elections, but do they actually do anything BIG to benefit the voiceless or reform the obvious issues in this country. I mean when Trump can be president even though he loss the popular vote, as well as being a straight weasel, just tells you exactly who has the power in this great country.
Not going to lie... I was sleeping on meek... I was LOX dude... still LOX but I'm Morning willing to listen to "not in my era" music after this interview... and his Album is Heat..
@@bosmatgu if you abide by the terms of your probation you're off at the end of the probation sentence. The length is given by the judge when you're sentenced. But if you violate probation the judge can lock you up and/or change the terms and length of your probation. Little shit can be enough to get you locked back up, so it really just comes down to does the police/judges in your area want to come down hard on you.
At 17 I got locked up for trespassing as a black man I walked through a white lady yard to take a shortcut I spent a week in jail got out on 6 months probation in a fine a $60 every month took my probation offices I was unable to pay and got locked back up for a year and got lit right back out on papers with fines

This interview reminds me of one of my favorite leaders, Bryan Stevenson. Trevor, you should have him on the show to talk about his book "Just Mercy" and his journey as an attorney. That would be great!
r385671 The book is about problems with the criminal justice system. It’s a true story about his life being a lawyer and his fight against these injustices. Highly recommend 🙌🏽
It costs $31,000-60,000 per year to house an inmate...28 months because he could not afford $100 bail. $62,000-120,000 to house one person. Let that sink in
That's wild. I remember when I was in H.S. the price was $18,000 to $19,000 per intimate yearly and that was not that long ago 🤦🏾♀️😭. Now it's as much as an Ivy League education per year (at least at The University of Pennsylvania smh). America 🤷🏾♀️
I can listen to him speak all day, listening to others truth through him. Having a voice for others who are silenced. And for him to look and sound like my neighbors or men that I cross path with daily on a daily bases. He’s perfect for this. We can all relate
Loved this interview Trevor! 👍🏽 Meek is showing so much humility and much respect to him sharing his plight bringing awareness to the injustices in the prison and legal system. 👏🏽
Meek Mill is a true inspiration probably walking in his true purpose!! It's crazy how one small incident can propel us into greatness and Sometimes we have to go through some stuff to see the blessing on the other side!! Stay strong Meek!!!!! #ChallengesCreateChampions
These are the types of interviews you don't dislike lmao ain't nothing wrong here i appreciate trevor bringing meek up here to spread this movement its all story telling till it happens to you or your family so i appreciate meek doing what his doing.
I knew you were my favorite rapper for a reason. I'm going thru what he is talking about every day. When people laughed at me because I always said you were my favorite artist. Makes me feel good I've been supporting the right person this whole time. Now look he is supporting me now.
It's awesome you chose this as your writing topic. I sat in court watching a judge decide the same marijuana cases for various people. She knew one of the defendants' mother/family. She was animated and smiling and merciful to this person. The other people got violations, fines, jail time, lectures. This judge had been guilty of drunk driving in the past. Just recently, she did a hit and run. Ran into her house to avoid being tested for alcohol. She got 50hrs of community service and a $1000 fine for leaving an accident and failure to report an accident. She got away with being intoxicated behind the wheel and hitting someone. I imagine if it were me, they would somehow bust in my door to test my breath and I would do time and pay thousands in fines. Probably shoot my dog on top of it. Judge Catherine Steenland is her name. I can be sat upon and suffocated to death for selling loose cigarettes. Jailed for addiction (btw, half of prison rapes are committed by GUARDS). But if I'm a corporation or government agency poisoning water, and my actions kills thousands...very few do anything more than pay a fine or house arrest. Our own president was accused of raping a 13 year old! The case was dropped due to her life being threatened! I don't want my name on what this country does. I really would have planned to have a family elsewhere if I knew I would witness the school to prison pipeline ruin kids over non-violent everyday teen mistakes. On old tv shows, white kids would get a ride home in a cop car and get a scolding. Today it's the white college freshman getting a pass for rape (can't ruin HIS future) while the brown person does a decade. Slavery never left, it just morphs. Our prisons and animal slaughterhouses keep the public in the dark for a reason. It is ugly what goes on here. The awesome thing about now is that people are actually listening and believing....at a time when half the country rejects facts/science/truth. I am hopeful, but only if people vote smarter instead of who they recognize from TV. I hope Americans stop being dumb and actually thoroughly research every candidate from Congress down to your smallest town. I'm thankful for Trevor and the other comedians for being the ones to break down the real news we need. I mean, how many of us would know what Iowa rep Steve King believes without these guys? How many Americans now know what people like Stephen Miller and Todd Akin believe from mainstream news? I have hope, but we have a lot of work to do to get these cold-hearted people out of government. Voting for Congress, Senate on down is of extreme importance...anyone can vote for president. It seems most Americans in the past only care about president, but the power lies in the judicial and legislative branches (tons of judges from the Dark Ages have been appointed left and right with insane beliefs about religion, women, and non-whites and that's not counting the Supreme Justices recently appointed). Mainstream news makes the presidential part of our voting seem like some popularity game, ignoring anyone not backed by big money from the 2 main parties. We need to get these bad apples out of police departments, churches, courts, Congress.....
Disfortunately, most Americans and English speaking Europeans do not pay attention to the etymology, linguistics and tetragrammaton, including trick English words. What DARK Americans should be advocating is JustFire, not Juctice (Just-ice). For it is written the KREATHER is a Consuming Fire. The KREATHER IS JUSTFIRE not ice.
i used not to like meek mill but now he's like my biggest inspiration,for everything, i even hit the gym with meek songs..i have never been to jail or something like that but i know what coming from a poor environment feels like,people like him are what make us believe that even if we come from not much,we still gone make it far
from everything that I've been hearing about our fellas in the US, I can finally conclude that Africa is the only place where a black child can grow up freely from the system against himself I'm from South Africa and I feel like ive been underestimating the privilage ive got, and clearly i didnt think of the struggles that our fellas are facing all around the world
Especially Ethiopia, the original African Nation that has never been Colonized by The murderous Fascist Italian Solders, who Colonized Eritrea. Had Ethiopian been Colonized by Europeans, the same Xenopbic racist Democratic policies would have been executed in Ethiopia.
As the kids say I'm an old head and don't necessarily enjoy the music today but I truly like and respect this young man! Every show Ive seen him on he's poised, controls the tempo of the discussion & captivates you with his message. He's not screaming go cop my album blah blah. I wish Meek Mill nothing but success and victory on his mission of criminal justice reform
It's ironical and deeply sad that we send our sons and daughters to war and spend billions $$$ defending and building democracies abroad but we cant defend the voiceless at home.
You hella naive if you think that “defending and building democracies” is what America fights wars for. America is an imperialist country and there is a lot of blood on our habds
That's because the policy makers of U.S.A. Democracy are xenopbic WASP and Caucasians whose political policies of Democracy in the USA as domestic Democracy, is not the same in foreign Countries.
This dude for awhile I didn’t like. I judged him for the stupidest thing. But seeing him and hearing him talk intelligently and with reason is refreshing. My dude mad respects and you got ur self a fan
Yeah! He's a good man. Said thing is that he could have lost hope and be a bad guy for real then you find people like Candace Owens who blames for such turnouts in the black community.
Towards the end of the interview you could tell meek mill was very relaxed and comfortable with the interview, with the way he was leaning backwards on that chair.Big ups to u Trevor for making this a worthwhile interview & giving Meek an opportunity to get that state of mind. *GREAT INTERVIEW*
You would think watching a video about how people spend time in prison for no reason would make me feel sad, but nope. I'm happy. Happy to see that someone got out of that and is now advocating for those people. Not even an average guy that got lucky and became successful, but an amazing person! Someone with empathy and love in his heart, and someone with the determination to inspire people and help the world. I love this guy! 😀❤
I don't know anything about who what when where he did that, but I wouldn't want anyone popping wheelies down my residential street, kids play out there in their yards and I grew up playing kickball in our street with all the kids in the neighborhood.
karysmuh I could never pop a wheelie, but when I was a kid, we rode up and down our street all the time. And certainly many attempts at getting that wheel more than an inch off the ground. Popping wheelies was just part of having fun playing on your bike.
@@marcilk7534 a bicycle is one thing. You lose control and eat shit, scrape your knee, whatever, not that big of a deal unless you're doing it in a crowded area and hurt someone else. He was talking about a dirt bike, a motorcycle, there are several videos of him on dirt bikes on city streets just as the sun is setting, so busy streets. That's just reckless. While I agree the whole probation thing is fucked up, he should own that he showed poor judgement and had he lost control he could have caused a wreck.
As an 80s baby who's not thoroughly impressed by 90% of the music pushed through mainstream media, I'm happy to state this is the first album in interesting in buying since Nas' "Life is Good." I'd love to see what Meek Mill thinks about Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow." Finally, this injustice system also needs to be resolved from a spiritual level.
Recently in Vienna I was in a queue at a supermarket and an African American man started arguing across the queue, that they should open another cash because the queue was so long. As he was arguing it slowly got to him that everyone was bothered of him and there was this occasional someone throwing an argument or a complaint about him in. He started reassuring everyone he was an upright citizen paying his bills like everyone else, he came from America and lived in Austria for 8 years or so and had a job and was working honest work and all. And the woman at the cash thought he was insulting her because he started speaking English and kept switching languages and had quite a deep voice with a thick (African) American accent. (and your average citizen might understand normal British English, but not strong accents) So I started translating to calm people down "he's not insulting you, ma'am, he's just not done asking for a 2nd cash". So the 2nd cash was finally opened, the man paid for his stuff and on the way out he kept explaining everyone he's an honest man and doesn't mean any harm. I realized ... he really comes from a different culture. Because in Europe for your average citizen, people with African heritage are just people who happen to have dark complexion, but in America there seems to exist a stereotype. Here if someone's in a shop and a "black guy" is with them in the queue, nobody's thinking "Shit does he have a gun? Is he going to rob the shop?". At worst people wonder "where does he come from and what language does he speak?" ... you know ... CASUAL stupidity.
I definitly agree with you. I'm from Germany and I think there are stereotypes here as well but not as many as in the US. However, recently i've been hearing a lot of white people (young white ppl) saying the n-word and this saddens me and makes me angry...
Please don't generalize Europe as being understanding of the African heritage. Racism is much more nuanced in the European countries (and other countries that were dominated by the slave trade and the raping of the countries' resources). England is said to be more progressive than USA and that is not totally true either, from years of experiencing it at different ages. In my opinion, Americans are not apologetic for much, this translates into Black people not apologizing for being Black (and being more obnoxious...but it's not like we don't have a reason) , and non-Black people not caring/hiding their racism or questionable thoughts (because "I'm not racist, I have 'close Black' friends") because they don't necessarily have to. Think of this holiday season, all of our elders have things they refuse to let go due to their life experiences. How many of the elderly White Americans have experienced racism directed toward their family or themselves? How many of them have EXUDED racism TOWARDS OTHERS OR STOOD BY AND LET IT HAPPEN IN FRONT OF THEM? How many of them have changed and realized that it is wrong, DURING YOUR LIFETIME? Now, how many of the White people reading this would not WANT to have a Black person (assuming you're that friendly/close) come visit your family over the holidays? Is it because of what the family is hiding? The old crazy Grandma/Grandpa who will SAY the word YOU CAN'T EVEN SING in the car because you morally feel it is wrong and you acknowledge that it is not a word you would want reciprocated along with its associated pain and experiences. #CheckYourElders Understanding your family is a root of racism, is probably the biggest and hardest thing I see friends deal with. They can't/won't speak out because of family respect, but you'll leave your holiday season and return to being close to your Black friends after hearing/spending time around the most racist person(s) you know. #DontThingWeDontCare #ThisIsWhyWeCantTrustYou
...Again, we (Black people) have elders too that are similar in being set in their ways. Still, I'll point out that Black Elders are the ones that probably have witnessed some of the most harmful racism in the USA (and elsewhere...looking at South African Blacks). Telling your Black Grandma/Grandpa to not hate/distrust white people who have done them wrong for a majority of their lives (and they still see it happening today to us) is a lot different than telling the white elderly perpetrator to not be racist because they have no reason to hold on to racist-hate in this day.
In Saiyan One My elders taught me to love everyone regardless of race. There is absolutely nothing I’d fear about having black peoples at my family’s home anytime, as I grew up regularly around my parents black friends and my childhood friends and best friend who were black. I know there must be families like you describe, but never in my life have I personally experienced one.
2 Corinthians 5: 15 " And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."
Numbers 23: 19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" NEITHER THE SON OF MAN.

This man went to prison when he was _18_ for a crime he didn't actually commit. The entire time he was in prison, he was _prevented_ by mechanisms _entirely beyond his influence_ from earning a living wage. When he was 31, they figured out their mistake and released him. This was _the state's_ mistake, but this man paid the price, and for this, he has a stigma that is going to follow him the rest of his life. That was _13 years_ he spent behind bars _without the opportunity to earn even minimum wage._ I think the state would be demonstrating generosity in its intent to _compensate_ him for the time they took away from his life. At $20,000 per year that he should've been able to earn, that would add up to $260,000. Now, of course, the world he faced when he was 31 would've been profoundly different from the world he knew when he was 18. A period of adjustment would naturally have to follow. But I dare to believe that this period would be a lot more manageable with a $260,000 nest egg at his disposal.
Amazing what happens when you find a purpose that entails not just living for yourself but for others and living for something more bigger than you...being a voice for the voiceless. Never knew he had substance like this and glad he was given this platform.
Exactly. I'm glad this is being spoke on. Once you get in the system they do not let you out. Probation is a lifetime and they do not care if you finish it successfully with clean tests and good behavior, they will find some reason to put you back. I didn't think Meek Mill would be a good face or advocate but he knows what he is talking about and isn't embarrassing anyone. He is actually helping people.
Prison really changed him, he has matured, he's more calm with a respected appearance, no more thugs looking nonsense. He's become a real man with true responsibility.
Thanks, Trevor for having him on the show. Meek has some added relevance now; I always say it’s never enough to just rap about the things most of them artist do. All the greats, past and present stood for something more than just the music and that’s the stage where Meek is right now and it’s really interesting to see. I hope he can successfully affect the justice system as expected.
This is a testament to Trevor's "aura" in interviews. Meek started out stiff and nervous but you can clearly see how relaxed he gets by the end. He's leaning back and talking freely. That's dope.

Stay strong Meek!!!!! #ChallengesCreateChampions
These are the types of interviews you don't dislike lmao ain't nothing wrong here i appreciate trevor bringing meek up here to spread this movement its all story telling till it happens to you or your family so i appreciate meek doing what his doing.
Meek has grown so much
And u didnt grow at all L
Punk
OMG Two Kings at One Table❤️✊🏾
I knew you were my favorite rapper for a reason. I'm going thru what he is talking about every day.
When people laughed at me because I always said you were my favorite artist. Makes me feel good I've been supporting the right person this whole time.
Now look he is supporting me now.
Real talk I had a negative view on meek & now I have positive.
You are inspiring
I wanna give him a big hug! Proud of Meek Mill for speaking up for those without a voice!
He sure deserves it Sis, please give it to him.
This is my favorite interview with Meek so far. Great job Trevor 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Meek making his voice heard with the TRUTH they ant ready . Much love & respect bro 💯
Big up yuhself meek💯nice one Trevor 🇯🇲🇯🇲💯
We see you Meek.. Philly born& bread💪🏾💪🏾💯
That's what I wrote about in my paper in English 101... Its great to finally hear someone say this! The Justice System is full of shit!!
It's awesome you chose this as your writing topic. I sat in court watching a judge decide the same marijuana cases for various people. She knew one of the defendants' mother/family. She was animated and smiling and merciful to this person. The other people got violations, fines, jail time, lectures. This judge had been guilty of drunk driving in the past. Just recently, she did a hit and run. Ran into her house to avoid being tested for alcohol. She got 50hrs of community service and a $1000 fine for leaving an accident and failure to report an accident. She got away with being intoxicated behind the wheel and hitting someone. I imagine if it were me, they would somehow bust in my door to test my breath and I would do time and pay thousands in fines. Probably shoot my dog on top of it. Judge Catherine Steenland is her name.
I can be sat upon and suffocated to death for selling loose cigarettes. Jailed for addiction (btw, half of prison rapes are committed by GUARDS). But if I'm a corporation or government agency poisoning water, and my actions kills thousands...very few do anything more than pay a fine or house arrest. Our own president was accused of raping a 13 year old! The case was dropped due to her life being threatened! I don't want my name on what this country does. I really would have planned to have a family elsewhere if I knew I would witness the school to prison pipeline ruin kids over non-violent everyday teen mistakes. On old tv shows, white kids would get a ride home in a cop car and get a scolding. Today it's the white college freshman getting a pass for rape (can't ruin HIS future) while the brown person does a decade. Slavery never left, it just morphs. Our prisons and animal slaughterhouses keep the public in the dark for a reason. It is ugly what goes on here.
The awesome thing about now is that people are actually listening and believing....at a time when half the country rejects facts/science/truth. I am hopeful, but only if people vote smarter instead of who they recognize from TV. I hope Americans stop being dumb and actually thoroughly research every candidate from Congress down to your smallest town.
I'm thankful for Trevor and the other comedians for being the ones to break down the real news we need. I mean, how many of us would know what Iowa rep Steve King believes without these guys? How many Americans now know what people like Stephen Miller and Todd Akin believe from mainstream news? I have hope, but we have a lot of work to do to get these cold-hearted people out of government. Voting for Congress, Senate on down is of extreme importance...anyone can vote for president. It seems most Americans in the past only care about president, but the power lies in the judicial and legislative branches (tons of judges from the Dark Ages have been appointed left and right with insane beliefs about religion, women, and non-whites and that's not counting the Supreme Justices recently appointed). Mainstream news makes the presidential part of our voting seem like some popularity game, ignoring anyone not backed by big money from the 2 main parties. We need to get these bad apples out of police departments, churches, courts, Congress.....
Disfortunately, most Americans and English speaking Europeans do not pay attention to the etymology, linguistics and tetragrammaton, including trick English words.
What DARK Americans should be advocating is JustFire, not Juctice (Just-ice).
For it is written the KREATHER is a Consuming Fire. The KREATHER IS JUSTFIRE not ice.
i used not to like meek mill but now he's like my biggest inspiration,for everything, i even hit the gym with meek songs..i have never been to jail or something like that but i know what coming from a poor environment feels like,people like him are what make us believe that even if we come from not much,we still gone make it far
from everything that I've been hearing about our fellas in the US, I can finally conclude that Africa is the only place where a black child can grow up freely from the system against himself
I'm from South Africa and I feel like ive been underestimating the privilage ive got, and clearly i didnt think of the struggles that our fellas are facing all around the world
the system has been rigged to ALWAYS be against black folks. it’s sad man 😔
Especially Ethiopia, the original African Nation that has never been Colonized by The murderous Fascist Italian Solders, who Colonized Eritrea.
Had Ethiopian been Colonized by Europeans, the same Xenopbic racist Democratic policies would have been executed in Ethiopia.
"Fascist murderous Italian Soldiers"
this was so educational Trevor, thanks so much for having Meek!
Love what you stand for bro salute
As the kids say I'm an old head and don't necessarily enjoy the music today but I truly like and respect this young man! Every show Ive seen him on he's poised, controls the tempo of the discussion & captivates you with his message. He's not screaming go cop my album blah blah. I wish Meek Mill nothing but success and victory on his mission of criminal justice reform
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love for Meek mill and Trevor Noah
This is one of the best interviews-if not THE BEST interview-that I’ve ever seen!!! Keep reforming-we all are. #PeopleOfColorMakingMoves
It's ironical and deeply sad that we send our sons and daughters to war and spend billions $$$ defending and building democracies abroad but we cant defend the voiceless at home.
You hella naive if you think that “defending and building democracies” is what America fights wars for. America is an imperialist country and there is a lot of blood on our habds
Amsie Onyeador He is remarkably naive. No country is that altruistic.
That's because the policy makers of U.S.A. Democracy are xenopbic WASP and Caucasians whose political policies of Democracy in the USA as domestic Democracy, is not the same in foreign Countries.
U.S.A. Democracy are xenophobic WASP and Caucasians whose political polices of Democracy in the USA is not the same in foreign Countries.
I just love the way trevor kept on bringing meek back to the album and meek kept on going back to justice reform 😁😁❤❤
When the audience claps he looks so surprised like I really love him he’s so innocent
I have never heard about you but i am so glad i had the opportunity to hear your testimony congratulations
Big up to you Meek, keep pushin.
The time he spent in jail, made him grow a lot! God bless you Meek
This dude for awhile I didn’t like. I judged him for the stupidest thing. But seeing him and hearing him talk intelligently and with reason is refreshing. My dude mad respects and you got ur self a fan
Two of the most outstanding brothers there is left.
...."And the justice reform too." 😂
Meek really care bout his people.
You peeped that at the end
I didn't notice , haha . he looked nervous ; that was cute
Yeah! He's a good man. Said thing is that he could have lost hope and be a bad guy for real then you find people like Candace Owens who blames for such turnouts in the black community.
Towards the end of the interview you could tell meek mill was very relaxed and comfortable with the interview, with the way he was leaning backwards on that chair.Big ups to u Trevor for making this a worthwhile interview & giving Meek an opportunity to get that state of mind.
*GREAT INTERVIEW*
S/o meek mill for helping fix the criminal justice system man!
@r385671 like your momma shut up
1 word: Respect! 1 solution: Justice Reform! Salute to Meek Mill!💯👌🏾
Meek u contribute a lot to society with music n life lessons
You would think watching a video about how people spend time in prison for no reason would make me feel sad, but nope. I'm happy. Happy to see that someone got out of that and is now advocating for those people. Not even an average guy that got lucky and became successful, but an amazing person! Someone with empathy and love in his heart, and someone with the determination to inspire people and help the world. I love this guy! 😀❤
That chain icy af.
@Emma With The Gs Would u say it's horny?😂😂😂😂😂 Ps. Sorry for the cringe, I just had to.
he's drippin SAUCE
@@elshowdeantony ....somebody said too much sauce, too much juice
Y'all OK?
@Scooters Videos Be sure to never buy your girlfriend/wife any jewellery, then, amirite?
Or is it just the rappers that are fools?
Meek Mill is THAT GUY 💯 he's moving differently and you can see the change. I'm here for it!
Can't pop no wheelies in this "free world"
KRAZe4KiCKS Yeah, I didn’t get what was wrong with that.
the USA was never really free or had true freedom that's why people always saying it, trying to portray a different reality.
I don't know anything about who what when where he did that, but I wouldn't want anyone popping wheelies down my residential street, kids play out there in their yards and I grew up playing kickball in our street with all the kids in the neighborhood.
karysmuh I could never pop a wheelie, but when I was a kid, we rode up and down our street all the time. And certainly many attempts at getting that wheel more than an inch off the ground. Popping wheelies was just part of having fun playing on your bike.
@@marcilk7534 a bicycle is one thing. You lose control and eat shit, scrape your knee, whatever, not that big of a deal unless you're doing it in a crowded area and hurt someone else. He was talking about a dirt bike, a motorcycle, there are several videos of him on dirt bikes on city streets just as the sun is setting, so busy streets. That's just reckless. While I agree the whole probation thing is fucked up, he should own that he showed poor judgement and had he lost control he could have caused a wreck.
He can feel the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders. That's awe inspiring.
Wow. Just wow.
Keep up this good work you talkin bout dude.
As an 80s baby who's not thoroughly impressed by 90% of the music pushed through mainstream media, I'm happy to state this is the first album in interesting in buying since Nas' "Life is Good." I'd love to see what Meek Mill thinks about Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow." Finally, this injustice system also needs to be resolved from a spiritual level.
Never really hear his philly accent...until he said "nerve wracking" 😍😍😍
"the MEEK shall inherit the EARTH"......there is always light in black
Big up to meek mill for speaking up for the voiceless,ive just began to be a fan
This is simply masterful interviewing. He obviously was well versed in Meek's story and his music and it made for my favorite Milly interview.
Thanks for getting Meek on here, Trev. 💯🤝🏾
I remember when The Daily Show had interviews but I think Noah took it up a notch. Now I have to get the album because I want to know more.
Recently in Vienna I was in a queue at a supermarket and an African American man started arguing across the queue, that they should open another cash because the queue was so long.
As he was arguing it slowly got to him that everyone was bothered of him and there was this occasional someone throwing an argument or a complaint about him in.
He started reassuring everyone he was an upright citizen paying his bills like everyone else, he came from America and lived in Austria for 8 years or so and had a job and was working honest work and all.
And the woman at the cash thought he was insulting her because he started speaking English and kept switching languages and had quite a deep voice with a thick (African) American accent. (and your average citizen might understand normal British English, but not strong accents)
So I started translating to calm people down "he's not insulting you, ma'am, he's just not done asking for a 2nd cash".
So the 2nd cash was finally opened, the man paid for his stuff and on the way out he kept explaining everyone he's an honest man and doesn't mean any harm.
I realized ... he really comes from a different culture.
Because in Europe for your average citizen, people with African heritage are just people who happen to have dark complexion, but in America there seems to exist a stereotype.
Here if someone's in a shop and a "black guy" is with them in the queue, nobody's thinking "Shit does he have a gun? Is he going to rob the shop?".
At worst people wonder "where does he come from and what language does he speak?" ... you know ... CASUAL stupidity.
I definitly agree with you. I'm from Germany and I think there are stereotypes here as well but not as many as in the US. However, recently i've been hearing a lot of white people (young white ppl) saying the n-word and this saddens me and makes me angry...
Please don't generalize Europe as being understanding of the African heritage. Racism is much more nuanced in the European countries (and other countries that were dominated by the slave trade and the raping of the countries' resources). England is said to be more progressive than USA and that is not totally true either, from years of experiencing it at different ages. In my opinion, Americans are not apologetic for much, this translates into Black people not apologizing for being Black (and being more obnoxious...but it's not like we don't have a reason) , and non-Black people not caring/hiding their racism or questionable thoughts (because "I'm not racist, I have 'close Black' friends") because they don't necessarily have to.
Think of this holiday season, all of our elders have things they refuse to let go due to their life experiences. How many of the elderly White Americans have experienced racism directed toward their family or themselves? How many of them have EXUDED racism TOWARDS OTHERS OR STOOD BY AND LET IT HAPPEN IN FRONT OF THEM? How many of them have changed and realized that it is wrong, DURING YOUR LIFETIME? Now, how many of the White people reading this would not WANT to have a Black person (assuming you're that friendly/close) come visit your family over the holidays? Is it because of what the family is hiding? The old crazy Grandma/Grandpa who will SAY the word YOU CAN'T EVEN SING in the car because you morally feel it is wrong and you acknowledge that it is not a word you would want reciprocated along with its associated pain and experiences. #CheckYourElders Understanding your family is a root of racism, is probably the biggest and hardest thing I see friends deal with. They can't/won't speak out because of family respect, but you'll leave your holiday season and return to being close to your Black friends after hearing/spending time around the most racist person(s) you know. #DontThingWeDontCare #ThisIsWhyWeCantTrustYou
...Again, we (Black people) have elders too that are similar in being set in their ways. Still, I'll point out that Black Elders are the ones that probably have witnessed some of the most harmful racism in the USA (and elsewhere...looking at South African Blacks). Telling your Black Grandma/Grandpa to not hate/distrust white people who have done them wrong for a majority of their lives (and they still see it happening today to us) is a lot different than telling the white elderly perpetrator to not be racist because they have no reason to hold on to racist-hate in this day.
WTF??
In Saiyan One My elders taught me to love everyone regardless of race. There is absolutely nothing I’d fear about having black peoples at my family’s home anytime, as I grew up regularly around my parents black friends and my childhood friends and best friend who were black. I know there must be families like you describe, but never in my life have I personally experienced one.
Trevor's interviews keep getting better with an intense look into burning issues and the provision of a platform to people who need it.

God is man, and Jesus is the love that lies in all of us
Updated Testament chapter 77 verse 14 "And lo the people wanted peace and not logic and so we gave them childish, fear-based stories to believe."
This man went to prison when he was _18_ for a crime he didn't actually commit. The entire time he was in prison, he was _prevented_ by mechanisms _entirely beyond his influence_ from earning a living wage. When he was 31, they figured out their mistake and released him. This was _the state's_ mistake, but this man paid the price, and for this, he has a stigma that is going to follow him the rest of his life.
That was _13 years_ he spent behind bars _without the opportunity to earn even minimum wage._ I think the state would be demonstrating generosity in its intent to _compensate_ him for the time they took away from his life. At $20,000 per year that he should've been able to earn, that would add up to $260,000.
Now, of course, the world he faced when he was 31 would've been profoundly different from the world he knew when he was 18. A period of adjustment would naturally have to follow. But I dare to believe that this period would be a lot more manageable with a $260,000 nest egg at his disposal.
lazyperfectionist1 he wasn’t locked up for the entire time. He wouldn’t have a music career. He was sent back recently.
Max Fung what’s the difference might as well be probation for 20 years ..??? Pretty steep
Amazing what happens when you find a purpose that entails not just living for yourself but for others and living for something more bigger than you...being a voice for the voiceless. Never knew he had substance like this and glad he was given this platform.
He does a good job explaining the system in this short interview.
Hands down the most wholesome video I've seen this decade
Champions From The Trenches✊💯 HALLELLUJAH!
Fuck durk
@@nolimitfreemind2500 certified hater!!!
came here thinking this was something else and left so happy because every moment of this was just joyfull.
Great interview, and great show. Glad you were able to get Meek on there ✊🏾
Season three of the podcast, “Serial” addresses a good part of this. It is worth listening to. Thank you for your service, Mr Mill.
Yea Meek,
on the Daily Show 💃🏾🤪😁...keep it up Bro. Philly stand up 💯!
The way he talks
And his voice is relaxed
Exactly. I'm glad this is being spoke on. Once you get in the system they do not let you out. Probation is a lifetime and they do not care if you finish it successfully with clean tests and good behavior, they will find some reason to put you back. I didn't think Meek Mill would be a good face or advocate but he knows what he is talking about and isn't embarrassing anyone. He is actually helping people.
“Where do you find your joy?” love you for that question. Journalists don’t ask rappers about joy.
Prison really changed him, he has matured, he's more calm with a respected appearance, no more thugs looking nonsense. He's become a real man with true responsibility.
Meek Mill is one of the few mainstream rappers I like, his music is good and what he stands for
Meek Luther King 💯
His a blessing
Thanks, Trevor for having him on the show. Meek has some added relevance now; I always say it’s never enough to just rap about the things most of them artist do. All the greats, past and present stood for something more than just the music and that’s the stage where Meek is right now and it’s really interesting to see. I hope he can successfully affect the justice system as expected.
