Meek Mill - Expensive Pain (Discussion Thread)

[NYtymes]

This is mid, his content is repetitive...the mumble flows on some songs are trash. Production is weak ...features dont do anything for me outside of maybe ferg... joint with vory maybe the only record i like ...

I guess i just expect more growth in meeks music with all the fake revolutionary shyt he tries to portray... Championships his best album

Expensive Pain is the Meek I want for a full album. Just perfect

Honestly, this is it. I just want Meek to give me a 5-6 track LP with tracks like ‘Expensive Pain’ , ‘Cold Hearted 2’, ‘Price’, ‘Use to Be’ etc.

Definitely agree with people saying Championships is the best and that this is a regression.

It's starting to feel like Meek is running out of things to say.

From the songs I’ve heard, this is a noticeable step back. A lot of the beats just sound like throwaways that Moneybagg Yo and Lil Durk passed on. There’s some beat switches on here that don’t hit at all. “Expensive Pain” and “Cold Hearted III” is the Meek I want to hear for a full album. I just don’t hear many “Oodles” or “Championships” or “Pay You Back” on here.

Outside (100 MPH)



Just starting up the album but done ran this back 3 times.

I'm listening now, this track just started and goddamn shyt hard af!

just finished album.. funny he talks bout freedom on this album on his interviews.. but he sounds most like his peers here as opposed to himself . kinda weird.

Good album, doesn’t sound super inspired though

I listened to blue notes 2 like 20 times today

Sounds like he pumped out an album to get out of the MMG deal. Maybe this was the last album?

Definitely sounded uninspired, concepts were repetitive within every song damn near. He took a step back with this one.

Overall the production was ok but even those sound like he searched YT for Meek Mill Type Beats and ran thru them with freestyles. Not feeling this one but it’s not trash. Just a mid album.

Ironically if he did he might have a better album, even though he went mid on this these type beats get the best out of meek he needed more of this on his album

I was thinking that too , if he went that direction … that oodles and noodles Meek, the album would be fire. Be it’s like he decided to make a bunch of throwaways.

 

[OfTheCross]

Damn. I only like 3 of the first 9 songs. Not even the intro. The 2md half gotta be good to save this for me.

I fw On My Soul, Love Train and the song with Ferg

 

[ISO]

Which is odd cause he didn’t have that many singles

Are you sly Meek hating or something?

He had 24/7, Goin Bad, Dangerous all plat to multi plat

Uptown Vibes got heavy play in NY, b sides like Trauma, Cold Hearted, Respect The Game, What’s Free went crazy

Album should be considered a classic

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

im 5 tracks in now, the title track is nice

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I like Meek but I don’t like listening to him for more than a song or two.

this is meh
