Is Meek Mill the future of philly ?

Nile Gambino

with a debut coming out does meek have a chance of being philly's finest ?
Is meek better than freeway,beanie sigel and young chris

The Recipe

He the best nigga out side of Beans but has the potential to surpass him.

Nile Gambino

i think freeway and young chris are better than beans

dandctt

yeah, by default tho

jono

Beans is the man, Meek just a new cat who getting a run. Meek could easily end up forgotten like his big homie Cassidy or worse completely irrelevant (Peedi Crakk)

You gotta be trolling, I am starting to believe you dont know shit about music. Philly even know who the man is they damn near demanded Ross sign the homie. The World According to Juno SMDH thank god niggas dont take this shit serious.

jono

Is Peedi Crakk not irrelevant?
Is Cassidy not pretty much a memory?
Is Meek a new cat establishing himself?
Is not Beans the best MC from Philly?

Lol...where did I go wrong?

wether hes the best artist in philly muisc wise and skills wise its subjective ... cause the comp in philly is heavy ... even joey jihad is getting back on his ish ... and as far as bar for bar always been iller than meek he just got rail roaded by that KO early on in his career ... meek was just the first to really put songs together for the clubs and saturated that side of the game and it worked for him ......... so @ this point he is the most popular in philly and is holding the torch for philly ............ but as far as skills and music its def subjective .... cause beans is def still nice and young chris def got crazy ish too .... but they aint really putting on for the city like meek has been in recent times ....

i doubt that................ the difference between Meek and all the rest especially the guys you named ... Meek grinded from the bottom and rose to the top ... SELF MADE for sure ... all them other cats got discovered via freestyling for the right folks .... or just being with the right folks, peedi is Freeways man .... cassidy i believe got signed off a freestyle battle contest that was on the radio .... i just found out fucking black thought from the Roots and beanie sigel are child hood friends ....

most of them cats dont know what it means to first off "write a song" and aim it @ something and hit that mark ... and also go out there and market it and promote and make it successfull ......... they didnt have that experience .... meek not only has that experience ... but did it mad years in a row with in his region PA/NJ/DE successfully WAYYYYYYYYYYYY before ross and TI came along .......

Meek will be the king of philly because he makes club bamgers

CC_Poncho

Philly ain't gonna be a consistent player in the industry till one of em becomes a boss, all these niggas are just artists. Meek prolly got the best chance of starting his own shit eventually and putting some Philly artists on.

chiefkeef420

meek is the future of philly he makes good club bangers and street records. cassidy had the throne temporarily but he went indie because the major labels didnt work out for him. sigel lost it after the b.coming dropped he kept goin in and out of jail. state prop doin small solo projects peedi isnt even relevant no more.

chiefkeef420

the only one who really had a chance to blow up was reed dollaz. he was DEFINITELY a better battle rapper than meek but dude never buzzed outside of street mixtapes and battling. never got a major deal or nothin. im not from philly but every other time i go up there he just hangin out.

Say What

He never gonna be on Black Thoughts level, never will sell as much as Will so no. He might stay on the radio 3-5 years if he lucky but I don't see him as the next great Philly rapper just another rapper from Philly

bkkbully

off topic but Philly is the only city i've ever been to where every rapper you run into on the street can actually rip another mc's head off. there has yet to be a wack nigga emerge from Philly. can't say the same about most cities

side note wtf happen to reed dollars ???? dude seem to just stop doing his thing ... last i seen of him he said he was done battling and wanted to focus on making songs ... Gilly Reed and Meek were doing the 3 kings thing for a hot sec and that was the last i heard of Reed ...???????? whats up with him you know ?

chiefkeef420

i dont know him personally (a couple friends of mine + my brothers friends do) but seen him in person a few times in philly once performin in jersey. he cool he aint really no one just a regular dude. reed never evolved from battle rapping. his newer songs arent great. he needs that fire back. last time i heard he dropped a tape last yr he dont get radio play or gillie (Meek favoritism, i have no prob though. im a meek fan) other than that meek holdin the crown right now. cassidy 30 his old ass needs to step up if he want it back.

WavyCrockett215

That Pcp fucked Peedi Crack Career up. He kept gettin locked up cuz of that shit. To me he is one of the biggests wastes of overal talent in hiphop in the last 20 years. Im from and live in phily and dude had shit on smash at one point til he started getting booked every few months. One time he was in a halfway house and had out til 10pm so he goes an gets Shermed up and gets lost in his own city! He doesn't get back till after 12 am and end up doing 18 months for a violation smh. just one example of his tragic waste of talent
