"But it's not the music itself, it's the environment. and Big L, for example, are all among the unsolved cases, despite each of them occurring more than a decade ago. And it's led to insinuations and backlash against a segment of music that is still growing in influence. "In some respects, rap music and violence seem to go hand in hand," La Rock's manager Scotty Morris told The New York Times almost 30 years ago following his client's murder. It's particularly jarring when considering how high-profile some of these cases are the murders of Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G. Meek Mill seems poised to put a new spin on 'in with a bang, out with a whimper.' Except by 'bang' its him sounding 'like hes ordering McDonalds from the backseat' (ht Tristan) and by 'whimper. C’mon MeekMill coonphilly Zac Etheridge (ZacEtheridge4) JIt was already over when he rode there in the Wraith listening to AR-AB. stands at 54.4 percent, according to stats for 2020 released by Statista, a market and consumer data firm.Ĭlearly, there's a disconnect somewhere between the national murder "clearance rate" and the one that exists when a hip-hop artist is involved. A photo posted by champagnepapi (champagnepapi) on at 8:02pm PDT Whats your reaction to Meek Mill ‘Wanna Know’ record I’m disappointed in the meek diss. To put that number in perspective, the clearance rate for murder in the U.S. Of those murders, a little more than a handful have been solved, and others are still under investigation, which means there are more than 50 rappers’ lives that have ended before their time whose murders have never been solved by the police. In the 33 years between Scott La Rock's shooting death in the Bronx in 1987 and Pop Smoke in February of 2020-one of the most high-profile cases of a hip-hop murder-we've documented 87 rappers who have been murdered, about two per year and sometimes more. The beats definately hold Sheek down and while his lyrics are never going to wow you, they are more solid than you might think.Consider some of the facts. The songs with his Lox brothers are all strong and he manages to throw in some new sounds and tricks to keep the album from sounding like one long song too often. I prefer listening to this than anything that Jada has put out recently. Now song wise, we all know Sheek has a small box within which he is going to work and he moves around that box with ease.

"Picture Phone Foreplay" with Kevin Cossum is the song most unexpected even though it isn't too big of a stretch for Sheek, the idea is a little more than I expect. The album ends with "Clip Up Reloaded" with Styles P and Jada for the streets. Grimey classic hip hop with Jada, Styles and Bully is on "Dinner Guest" and the fact it is just what you'd expect is overlooked because Sheek has to have this on his album and the song is set up to keep you interested. "Ready 4 War" is the same but the singing hook works and offers up a change of pace. Sheek takes it down south alongside Bun B with "Ol Skool" and "Nite Falls" is normal East coast rap, both of which just seem like filler. The Canadian MC posted the following Instagram shortly after Meeks diss track went live on Hot 97. "Out of the Ghetto" is the song about what it says, but Sheek lets a little thug emotion out you could say. "Make Some Noise" is typical Sheek and features an average feature from Fabolous. "Party After 2" with Jeremih is the more 'mature' club song and though you can tell Sheek is trying for specific sounds instead of stumbling onto them naturally, it isn't a bad joint.Ĭaseley sings the hook on "Blood and Tears" which is the required street album song about making it and being a 'success' now. Now "Club Jam" with DJ Webstar also has a simple beat that has some decent drums and generic club rap but it doesn't fit the Sheek persona as much. Now subject matter, he's not breaking new ground, he's got money, runs shit, and holds it down etc, but this joint could get spin in a more moderate club. "Get it Poppin" has a simple but good beat that brings you in with the bells it incorporates. See he talks that goon street rap but it is more polished than his counterpart Styles and more realistic and original than Jada. The album begins with the "Rhyme Animal" intro and Sheek's bars are sharper than they have been in the past.
#MEEK MILLS WANNA KNOW PEOPLE RATE IT SOFTWARE#
Now most people are busy talking about how nice Jada is or how real Styles keeps it, but I've always preferred Sheek verses to either of them. colleges and universities GitHub is where people build software 3 Kerala. Under my rap lens, Meek’s jail time doesnt affect me because Im not a fan. So I'm backed up on reviews but I did get to listen to the latest solo effort by the third member of The Lox, my man Sheek Louch. Yes, people went so far as to ask for an actual person to get arrested over rap 'beef.' Still, I didn’t really care.
