I noticed that. Actual street rap is dying heavy. I consider people like Thug, an em street rappers but not throwback street rappers who rap about struggle and shyt. Crazy how much the game has changed when Meek is in a small minority.

I believe Hip Hop Historians will look back to the 50 V KanYe in 07' sales battle that singaled to labels to start to decrease more Street-Oriented Hip Hop. Even though 50 did club records I would say the majority of his albums are more street-oriented. Same with DMX who use to go 5x Platinum off really hard music. What helps Meek to me is he's on in island and is able to attract many rap fans who want more aggressive content. This also helped his label boss Ross and is keeping Jeezy afloat in this era.

I loved it in rap where a Street dude could sell or a consious dude or a pop dude there was balance. There is no balance in rap today. The biggest reason Drake failed in ending Meek is because dispite what the white media publications will say, the Black American streets always dictate the culture of Hip Hop. Drake does not represent that, Meek does being bring the streets of Philly. Also let me say I've been critical of Nicki in the past but I respect that she is a Ride of Die chick for real that also helped Meek that she's stayed by his side through it all.

The Lengths some are going to hate on Meek is getting pathetic at this point. I thought Drake killed him? I thought his career was over? The fact he drops this and has everyone attention says all that needs to be said. "Dream Chasers" series has been a mixtape series from day one. Considering no "DC" album has ever sold anything like that how is this a L for Meek? This wasn't an "LP" like his first two and didn't get a Label rollout either. This was smart business because they know the "DC Series" is popular on the streets so they decided this time they would also sell it along with it being for free to broaded the fanbase for the mixtape series. Last Year's 4/4 EP was a mixtape as well. Also Meek has never had massive numbers. He has first two albums basically went Gold so 70k + is very solid for A "Dream Chasers" mixtape which was never going Gold in the first place.
