Man Cold Hearted pt 2 is so good. I wish he flowed over the entire song though instead of talking for half of it. Going to need another artist to freestyle over that instrumental.
Uptown sound like a Street Fighter stage lol
Can someone post the credits?

this is dope btw. a playlist of all the samples used.
I wish Meek would stray away from the trap sound, namely the ATL esque sounding shyt. I can still rock with the grimy bangers but they gotta be his Philly street shyt like Ima Boss or Monster, not deriving from ATL like so much music already. The more soulful shyt he was on on this album was incredible, we've gotten glimpses of it throughout his career with tracks like Blue Notes, Shine, Used To, etc and they were all great tracks. I'm cool with the more trap shyt here and there but if he put out a whole tape with tracks like Championships, good fukking lord. shyt, I'm even down with the tracks like Dangerous and 24/7, they're hits.
All in all, this album is really great. In this age of streaming, it's hard for a 19 track album to be straight the whole way thru. The only song I can't really rock with on here is the one with Future and Thug which is funny cuz along with Meek, Super Slimey among my favorite rappers. I think we can say this is his best album with Wins and Losses a close second.
So happy for the dude as well, you can see he has smartened up and matured a lot since coming back from jail. The whole story is crazy honestly if you wanna put it short: Stood tall while being clowned by everyone on social media from the Drake beef, goes to prison, becomes a staple of the Eagles SB run, fresh out of prison and hops right on a chopper to the Sixers game. Then drops the best album of his career. That man grew up.
I think it's time we start having a discussion about Meek's place in the industry. Everyone always wants to mention Drake, Cole, and Kendrick together at the top because of the time they came up together... Well Meek was coming up at the same time too and should be mentioned with them. Meek's music is a lot of what people try to portray J Coal boring ass music to be. In all honesty, and this might make people a little mad but... Meek is the closest thing we'll get to Pac in my opinion. I'm only 20 so he's kind of like our generations Pac in a sense when you take into account the music and his life events.
If this album is any indication of his future music, I'm more than happy with what we will be hearing in the future.

Intro, Trauma, What’s Free, Respect the Game, Championships and Oodles O’Noodles were the standouts for me.
I can see 24/7 being a hit though the Beyoncé Stans are gonna hate on it hard lol

The more I see where the rap game is going the more I appreciate a dude like Meek. He’s the equivalent of an NBA player still putting up solid numbers and impacting the game while staying on the block or mid range, playing D and refusing to shoot 3s like everyone else lol. Its just good to have a mainstream star who’s not afraid to still do east coast street rap. And being in Philly and seeing how the city rallied behind him through everything was great to see
I like meek, son can rap, last of a generation of street spitters...but idk about him over tracks like trauma
He has a habit of only catching the beat in the last verse or later into the beat, and it gives you a glimpse of what could have been.
Dont get me wrong i dont even think mobb did it complete justice cos that was the start of the lean years (p made up for it later)
The dead pres sample doesnt work either and is nowhere near the utter perfection of the og. Its diluted
If these youngens feel it then great, but im obviously biased and off past glories
Ross and jay showed how its done
And just in general hip hop is affected by pandering to women

First half obliterates the 2nd.
I’d say Meek is more Jigga than Drake is (for a while nikkas tried to say Cole was Nas, Drake was Jay and Kendrick was Pac). I feel like Meek is a modern version of all the 90s New York rappers and he has the authenticity to talk about the street shyt the others can’t. He’s influenced by a lot of people. I hear Beanie in there, Pac in there and some DMX too. And Jay-Z the most. I know Jay was smirking listening to this album because in a lot of songs he was sounding like a 2018 version of Jay.
