why do his albums start off so epic but then they are just ordinary trap shyt 808 saturated beats with lazy lyrics after
lord knows beat is like opera, and dreams and nightmares started off mad introspective and epic and then...then just ignorant loud ass repetitive beats and shouting.
Reading some of the excerpts from the Meek Crwn interview....it's mind boggling how someone who makes music is so closed minded on music

“I don’t listen to that type of music,” he said unapologetically. “I used to listen to Kendrick sh-t and this time he came with something that just wasn’t my lane. If Nicki does a pop song nine times out of ten I’m never going to listen to it ever in my life…They got songs that I might listen to but that ain’t really my type of s–t. I’m on some Future, Young Thug, Dej Loaf, YG, Troy Ave…Yo Gotti, of course Fab.”
It's clear why I find him so 1 dimensional....
He grew up in the streets of Philly. He's a milenieal so he was indoctrinated into hip hop's golden era and became an adult in the late 2000s...
A lot of the 90s era will be remembered for gangsta rap.
Ice Cube, Dr.Dre, Ice T, Snoop Dogg, 2 Pac
Scarface (The Geto Boys), Master P, UGK, Outkast & the dungeon family, BG (The Hot Boy$),
Twista
Jay Z, Nas, Beans*, Eve*, DMX, The Lox, B.I.G, Big Pun, Wu-Tang Clan
Yeah... Those acts were huge when he was a kid then you transition into the 2000s
He's very influenced by the ROC for obvious reasons.. He's also a huge 50 cent fan.
The gangster rap era condotioned a generation. This shouldn't come as shock. Even the backpackers and conscious artists were more gritty and edgey than this new generation
There are a lot of people who sound like Meek when you ask them about J.Cole or Kendrick Lamar
