Big Meech has completely lost his aura

[re'up]

this is the era of killers getting the glory there's something to what you are saying

the culture doesn't care who was seeing the most money

they care who was crashing & shedding blood

*

This is an interesting convo. BMF and Meech in it's time was social media before social media. Those damn DVD's they did. Those billboards. The tigers in the club. It was a level of marketing the drug game had never seen. The personal branding. His rants about brotherhood and family, rolling on ectascy.

If Meech were to go on podcasts and start talking crazy, and get the clips cut up about who he said what about....he'd be popular, but it would also be pathetic. He's not there yet.

I think it's the era of who is the loudest and who is the most polarizing, and Meech isn't either of those things, yet.

At least the jacket has some meaning (going at 50). Breh always smiling now and barely talks.

When Tony Yayo told the story of how Lil Baby stopped by to show love and Meech said “why Lil Baby ain’t give me no money?”

All that street lord lore went out the window. Meech on diva time and his son a lame in chrome hearts

You know Yayo was talking bout lil meech lol.

Not big meech lol

He was talking bout how entitled he was

Killers were always glorified, though. Alpo and Preme are from the 80s...

The streets still glorify the killers and the guys with the check, I dont think theres been a discernible shift. The social media era has made these guys more mainstream than they were pre-2010...

The saddest thing is you get stuck in the past. And you end up just every moment

"Back when I hustling...."

"Back when I was balling....."

"Back when I had my connect...."

And you just stay stuck in the past. Everything is what you used to do, or what you used to have. Your sense of style never changes, because you never change. You cling and cling to the past, and it just fukks you all up. Because the one thing is the game doesn't stop.

I'd be interested in hearing how you overcame that mindset. I think I've mostly done really well in avoiding it but there are times it crosses my mind too...

I feel like the older you get, the less flashy/trendy you should dress.

I’m no stylist or anything but Meech should be wearing casual attire. The graduation jacket is tough but is for a someone younger. Same with the jeans and shoes. He should be rocking white AF1s at all times. A lot of the clothing from his era are poppin again. Just rock what you wore during your prime years but update it a bit. He look crazy lol

It's crazy how the styling wave amongst the trendy is now mid 2000s. Playboy Carti is rocking tall t, big bulky jeans cuffed behind the shoe tongue, fitted hats, chain down to stomach, and pelle/avirex coat. Young Trendy niggs are gonna be rocking the jean shorts this summer. So you're right the wave is right where it was at when Meech went in 2005.

when I first went to jail as teenager, it took years for me to mature into a functioning person. I spent at least a year acting like an idiot, drunk, rambling about hustling, and trying to get back on, when I was just a burn out. Get sober. Get a job. Get some perspective on life. Work on gratitude. That took like 3 years of my life. It's not that you can never tell those stories, it's about how you frame it. So many dudes in jail and halfway houses are legends in their own mind. The way you talk on here, you need that. You need an outlet, that's healthy, and you can't get that from co workers, or family, or women sometimes. So I get it.

Sometimes you meet these legends in person, these hustlers you looked up to, when they are on the other side, and they just aren't the person you imagined they were. I've met more than a few like that.

I remember about 10 years ago meeting these dudes who I heard about, they were friends of a friend, and older. Hustled weight. Went to prison. Got out. And I was at a spot and we were all standing in the kitchen, these dudes were sniffing lines and acting thirsty about this girl who was there. They were dressed kind of bad. Sweaty. Drunk. Eyeing me down. And they talked just like that. They weren't DISrespectful, but they gave that kind of begrudging respect. "Oh yeah back when I hustling I got it for this price"

And I was just like in my head, these guys are kind of losers. Even Meech, he's just a man. If you told me in 2008, that this would be him in 2025, I wouldn't believe it.

it's a lot of folks hobby to trash reputations

the crowd likes to see people humbled

killers always had clout but there was not the admiration attached


po & preme back then were stars because of the way they made that street shyte look fly

i definitely see a shift with aspirations in the street tipping more towards wanting to be known for murder before getting money

towards wanting to be known for murder before getting money

King Von and B&C’s types

 

[BaRRyG]

Naa bruh

You just matured.

He's been the same since forever.

 

[Crumple]

I think he dresses dope, and his hair in the back is like ODB which is cool.

I'm against people dressing normal when they age.

This is hip hop. Krs dresses really dope, hoodies, bigger t shirts with Graff, dope hats.

Wu Tang in 97 that was the best hip hop style of all time for me. You can rock that and still look dope cause it's classic.

This is why I told people it was absolutely foolish for Meech to respond to 50 via social media, especially the way it was shot.

Now he’s getting exposed and the aura is all but gone before he was able to monetize it with a interview, documentary, etc.

He obviously doesn’t have a proper team around him.

Biggs Burke is a good example of how to move post-prison. He initially got out and was looking like Meech now in big clothes. He quickly fell back, got with a proper team and adapted.
