Meek Mill's album is fire. Song with Nicki is not, though. It's weird but they have no chemistry on the song, making her feature sound very forced.

But really, stevo is right. Guy definitely has a ton of talent but the beat selection is awful. I think it kind of shows how talented he is that it doesn't sound brutal - the dude can flow but he's using cloud rap beats when he just goes in.

![[Image: 220px-MeekMillDWMTM.jpg]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2e/MeekMillDWMTM.jpg/220px-MeekMillDWMTM.jpg) Meek Mill - Dreams Worth More Than Money</div> Lord Knows: 9/10 -Sampling Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on the opening track here, it gives you chills. Mozart is being played on a rap album. 2015 baby. I love tracks where Meek just goes in and this is certainly one of them. Aside from a very good hook delivered by Tory Lanez, this one features a pair of long ass verses from Meek. Ok, he is no lyrical genius, but long verses allow him to really get the ball rolling and when he gets that energy raised up higher and higher like he does here, the results are great. This one feels a lot like the intro on his debut Dreams & Nightmares, just with a hook added. One of the better intro tracks on a rap album this decade, being compared to that track is no light praise. This one is obviously not quite as good, but I am heavily digging this. The Mozart sample piques at just the right times and is used incredibly well and the beat itself is great. Meek's energy (his best feature), flow, and delivery, are all very good. Overall, this one is an epic opening to Meek's sophomore effort that should go down as one of the best openers of the year. Classic (ft. Swizz Beatz): 3/10 -I dare somebody to tell me when a Swizz Beatz feature benefited a song. I swear to God the dude has the most annoying voice I have ever heard. Whether it be "Scream On Em" by The Game, "On to the Next One" by Jay-Z, or "Summer on Smash" by Nas, he makes weak songs even worse. As you might guess, I do not love this one because of the presence of Swizz on the hook. Any momentum gained is ruined by his ad libs throughout, as well as his hook. Dude sounds like Diddy did on the background of Biggie's classics. The beat is pretty unique and interesting and I think Meek does pretty well here. However, any desire to ever hear this song played again is non-existent thanks to Swizz. Can somebody please stop him? Jump Out the Face (ft. Future): 5/10 -I'm not a big fan of Future, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't love the bridge where he says, "I just took a perc now I'm on another level / Tasting on the molly got me dancing with the devil / Poured a 8th of Kobe Bryant mixing purple with the yellow / Got these racks on demand its hard to keep this shit together". The beat here from Metro Boomin bangs, no ifs ands or buts about that. However, I am just not feeling this one because there is a lot of Future on here and God do I hate his autotune in most instances. This track happens to be one of those instances. Meek does quite well here, as this marks the second track where the feature pretty much ruins the song. Dammit Meek. All Eyes On You (ft. Nicki Minaj & Chris Brown): 3/10 -Meek needs to stick in his lane. That lane being workout music and club bangers. This one is a plead to the radio to give him some airplay and, as such, it falls entirely flat. The beat is pretty classic "Billboard Hot 100 Rap Song", which is why it is shocking that five different dudes produced it. You would think one dude could whip up a generic ass beat like this. Chris Brown's vocals are alright, but Meek sounds like a square peg in a round hole here and just never sounds comfortable doing this track. Also, it sounds like Meek is a bit of a 2pac fan. If the track "Tupac Back" from a years ago did not tip you off, the title of this track and "Ambitionz" should let you know. Meek is an internet rap fan clearly, since it appears all he has heard is All Eyez On Me. One of us! The Trillest: 9/10 -Now this is what I want from Meek! When he just gets the stage all to himself to just rap, he really knows how to bring it. A pretty personal song, some of these bars really hit hard such as, "And yeah, I've been losin' touch with my family, it ain't the same / I should've gave my sister some money, but I made it rain / I should've hit the crib with my son and played a game / But instead I ended up at the jeweller to make a chain". The hook here is great and all three of Meek's verses are top-notch. It is hard to imagine him coming up with better lyrics to be honest with you. As for the beat, it has a real epic feel to it that really compliments everything nicely. More of this track would be nice. R.I.C.O. (ft. Drake): 8/10 -A bit of a switch up from the last track, this one is a certified entry in the Meek Mill club banger workout music collection. The first of two tracks that will be dominated his feature (guess on the other one), this one is the epitome of Drake ft. Drake. Though Meek does well, he would have been better off just giving the track to Drake instead of coming in after him. With a great flow, delivery, and verse, over what is an incredibly hot beat, Drake absolutely murders this one. To say he has the magic touch at this moment, would be an understatement. Honestly, he has the whole rap game in the palm of his hand (no homo and no stan, I swear). As I said though, Meek does do quite well and brings great energy to couple with his flow and delivery on this one. I Got the Juice: 7/10 -Produced by Cardo, this one does not bump nearly as much as one would expect, but that does not mean it is a bad beat. Quite the contrary in fact, especially when Meek is delivering the hook, this beat is absolute fire. Meek really rides the beat nicely and his lyrics are pretty good as well, but that does not keep this one from being an entry in my ignant banger playlist. Thanks Meek for the contribution. Ambitionz: 6/10 -How 2pac is able to manage having so many people on his dick is honestly inspirational. Dude's been six feet under for damn near 20 years, yet people are all over him like he just dropped the album of the year last week. I can only aspire to have such immortality when I die. While I say Meek is riding 2pac like a prostitute, this track is still pretty good. The beat is nice and Meek does quite well on it. The track is largely braggadocio as Meek issues a warning to all those that wish to step to him (do so at your own risk). I do not love this one and, honestly, this one would feel like filler on a better album. As it stands, the track is above average on the whole, but pretty damn good in comparison to some of the earlier trash. Pullin’ Up (ft. The Weeknd): 8/10 -If you guessed that this would be the second track that is dominated by the featured artist, you earned a gold star for the day. Congratulations. Much like a Drake feature, this one sounds like The Weeknd ft. The Weeknd. As with all features by my boy Abel, even the beat on the track is tailored to him, rather than the lead artist. How these guys can let this happen is always beyond me. Just pretty much guaranteeing that he will renegade you. With The Weeknd delivering his trademark sexed up and luscious vocals, this one is pretty much guaranteed to be a great song, in spite of whatever Meek does. Luckily, unlike other features by Abel, Meek really keeps things going nicely. Unlike Wiz Khalifa on "Remember You" or French Montana on "Gifted" who threatened to ruin a great hook and verse from The Weeknd, Meek does really well here, though he still manages to get overshadowed. The song is better than 8, but I cannot in good consciousness award Meek so richly for a track that is driven by the feature rather than him. If you cut Meek from this one and give The Weeknd another verse, the track would honestly be better, even though Meek really brings it here to be clear. As such, I have to deduct a few points, even though I honestly think this is stronger than an 8. Check: 8/10 -I'm going to need everybody to open up their workout playlists and add this track. A certified banger, Meek gets his scream on here and yells his way over this absolute forest fire of a beat from Metro Boomin. Forget the lyrics, just bask in the energy and fire of the beat. Meek flows well over it and his delivery is very good to the point that I can continue to enjoy this one without worrying that I am comprising my tastes in any way. Please only handle this track with oven gloves or else you risk burning yourself. Been That (ft. Rick Ross): 8/10 -Putting this right after "Check" should be considered illegal. My God man. The perfect hype track, "Been That"'s beat absolutely slaps. I BEEN THAT ***** (ignore that I'm just an awkward white kid at this point). Really good stuff from Rick Ross here as well, namely the lines, "Swerving in my wraith I should just pull up at the church / Have these niggas playing on me devils wish it was a hearse / In my all black shades, motherfucking Ray Charles / I used to mop the floors now who the motherfucking boss?" The use of the "Maybach Music" chick sample also gets this one mad props. I don't know what it is about that sample, but it's like "Funkmaster Flex night" from David Letterman to me. The thing only contributes to the hype of the track. Bad For You (ft. Nicki Minaj): 7/10 -This track makes me feel so isolated. Like, I am on my own private island or something. As a huge fan of Nicki's singing (seriously, "Grand Piano" from her last album was impeccable), that makes me the sole occupant of that opinion most likely. I vastly prefer her singing to her rapping, so thank God that is what she does here. Her vocals are pitch perfect on this track and instantly increases my enjoyment of the song. Meek delivers some pretty general lyrics here. If you look up gangster love song on youtube, this one might very well pop up or possibly 1,000 other songs like it. It is still way better than the previous single attempt, so props for that. If this does not get released as a single, somebody at Atlantic is sleeping hard. Stand Up: 8/10 -Remember what I said about Swizz Beatz? Simply hearing DJ Khaled's voice has the same effect on me. Thank God it is solely in the intro, so he gets it over with quick and painless. Once his verse starts up, Meek really does his thing. Good flow and delivery, as well as pretty decent lyrics with lines such as, "Hundred black bottles, man that's lights galore / Before Tom was Ford, I'm talkin' Honda Accord / Lookin' for a plug, tryna find the cord / Niggas gettin' shot tryna find the Lord", standing out. I also really dig the hook, especially the opening lines of, "When the lights low, and the show starts / And the champagne spill on your bow tie / And your dawg change up, playin' both sides / No it won't stop, when the dope stop / When the fed rush in the dope spot / And your main man tell 'em how the coke drop / How he rain danced with me by the boat dock / I know when he did that, I bet that your ghost drop". If 50 Cent had any talent left in his body, I would imagine him delivering this hook. As the dude behind some of the hottest hooks of the early 2000s, this one would fit in quite well with his hook catalog. Overall, this one is really good and features Meek showing some serious potential. Cold Hearted (ft. Diddy): 8/10 -I guess since I mentioned Diddy in my criticism of Swizz Beatz's ad libs, it is only fair he pops up later on in the album. Sadly, Diddy does ad lib a bit with some "yeah yeah yeah"s. However, his interlude is quite good, which makes me accept his annoying and unnecessary ad libs. This one features some very good lyrics from Meek such as, "When it was hard the coach told me to get the ball / I step back for the three, watch it go swish and fall / And that was and-one, they thinking how we get this far? / We was just down by three and they thought we took a loss / They couldn't D me like Earl Boykins, I'm sticking soft / Tried to pick me off like Champ Bailey but I'm Randy Moss". I also really dig Meek's hook, even if the autotune is pretty annoying (the lyrics make up for it a good bit), "My heart getting cold / Then the streets getting colder / They said I would't make it no way / I think my heart getting colder, my heart getting cold / Told them I would make it one day / Only Lord knows". Overall, "Cold Hearted" is a fitting closing track that concludes this solid effort from Meek quite nicely. 97/140 -> 6.93/10 A step back from Meek Mill's debut album "Dreams & Nightmares", I am still not overly upset because I did get everything I want from Meek. I got good lyricist Meek on tracks like "The Trillest" and "Cold Hearted", I got hype Meek on tracks like "Lord Knows", "Check", and "Been That", and then I got some great features from Drake and The Weeknd on "R.I.C.O." and "Pullin' Up", respectively. Nobody will accuse this album of being great, but I certainly really enjoyed it on the whole. The production was great throughout and Meek really brought it on every single entry. The bad tracks here - "Classic", "Jump Out the Face", and "All Eyes On You" - were bad either because of the features (Swizz Beatz, Future) or just because Meek was making a track not in his lane at all (a radio single). Overall, this one is an above average album that provided some seriously good tracks, so I cannot be mad at this one in the least.

Nice review - glad you agree with me that the first Nicki song is honestly very bad haha.
Here's a song I'm confused about... maybe I just think it's decent because it's Chief Keef but I actually can't really stop listening to it... <object width="460" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ckONNN_RO6U"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ckONNN_RO6U" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="460" height="315"></embed></object>

![[Image: 220px-Summertime-06.jpg]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cd/Summertime-06.jpg/220px-Summertime-06.jpg) Vince Staples - Summertime '06</div> Ramona Park Legend Pt. 1: NA/10 -A dope instrumental no doubt, but I'm not in the business of rating instrumentals. All the same, it really sets the tone nicely for the rest of disc one and the album as a whole. Dark and moody, it is a great opener. Lift Me Up: 10/10 -"Hey, I'm just a ***** until I fill my pockets / And then I'm Mr. *****, they follow me while shoppin'" are the first words we hear on the album and from then on, Staples continues to drop dope lines all over the place, especially on this track. Lines such as, "My momma was a Christian, Crip walkin' on blue-waters", "A prophet just like Moses, if Moses look like Shaka / Zulu, my .44 loaded, I'm aimin' at Nirvana / My bitch look like Madonna, they starin' at katana", and "Is dead and green, was standin' on this mezzanine in Paris, France / Feel despairs cause most my homies never finna get this chance". This track features Mr. Staples gleefully rhyming any words he can find "dead and green" and "mezzanine" is pretty dope as a rhyme. Featuring incredible rhyme schemes throughout, a dope flow and delivery, and a pretty good hook, "Lift Me Up" is one hell of a track. Norf Norf: 10/10 -Nothing warms my heart more than a Clams Casino beat. This one does not disappoint in the least. Vince Staples' flow on this beat should be illegal it is so smooth. The only dude in the game with as good of a flow is A$AP Rocky, honestly. The cool part with Staples is that he takes his silky smooth flow and adds some dope lyrics. All three verses are dope, but this portion from verse two stood out the most to me, "Folks need Porsches, hoes need abortions / I just need y'all out of my business / Never no problem, playin' no pitches / Never no problem, sprayin' no witnesses / No face, no case, been wit' the shit / Hopped out broad day then emptied clips / Cut class cause it wasn't 'bout cash / School wasn't no fun, couldn't bring my gun". The combo of the dope beat, great lyrics from Vince Staples, and a disgusting flow, this one continues what seems incredibly promising so far. Birds & Bees (ft. Daley): 7/10 -Ok, so the hook on this one is incredibly weak. Thus far, the hooks have not ruined the tracks, though they have all been sub-par compared to the rest of the song. Luckily, Vince Staples continues to light the world ablaze on this track. Like the tracks proceeding it, this one is littered with great lines, such as, "I shot your child, so what, you know we wildin' after dark / The sun come down and guns come out, you know Ramona Park". Unfortunately, since this one is so short, we only get one verse from Vince and the track is dominated by an oddly placed bridge and a poor hook, bringing the overall song quality down. Loca: 8/10 -Son cannot write a hook to save his life, I swear to God. I hate hooks that have repeating lines and man, that's all Mr. Staples can pump out. However, again (I sound like a broken record now, I know), his flow and lyrics save him. Here, bars such as, "Get to purrin' when that liquor get to burnin' / Get it crackin', why you actin' like a virgin? / Where it come from, mama or the surgeon? / You paid for it, did you pray for it? Get twerkin'" and "Girl, you lookin' like somethin' out of King / Magazine, fifteen in the magazine / Hope a ***** don't run up tweakin' / I'm tryna to have a good time this evening" really stand out. His wordplay and rhyming are incredible and he really does these things with reckless abandon. Lemme Know (ft. Jhene Aiko & DJ Dahi): 7/10 -Jhene Aiko comes down from heaven and takes a break from having her booty eaten like groceries to grace this track with her beautiful vocals. Sadly, this one is just not working for me. Featuring a decent hook from DJ Dahi, the first two verses have Vince Staples and Jhene Aiko delivering the same verse at the same time, which has a cool effect sonically. When Vince gets the stage to himself in the third verse, he definitely makes the most of it with some dope lines like, "Soon as you walk up in the room, take ya clothes off / Bed to the floor, baby you know how it go / Nothing less and nothing more than what we make it / Consummating for a long time 'til the condom breakin'". Also, the line, "Cause you hit this shit once I know you gon' be in love with me" from Jhene is most likely true, no lie. The thirst is too real. Overall, this track is nothing special. Like I said, having Vince and Jhene deliver the verses at the same time is pretty cool, but I don't know, this one just feels like it didn't need to be here. Story-wise it makes sense though and I'll probably not skip it if it comes up on Spotify, so I'm pretty content in spite of that. Dopeman (ft. Joey Fatts & Kilo Kish): 5/10 -Kilo Kish delivers a breathy hook on this track that stands as the highlight here. Vince drops his first bad verse of the album here as his verse about drugs does absolutely nothing for me. Overall, this one is the definition of weak. Thank God it is so short. Jump off the Roof (ft. Snoh Aalegra): 10/10 -And just like that, we are back, folks. Featuring an incredible verse from Vince Staples and the best hook Vince has written to this point of the album, this one is back on track. I was about to quote my favorite line, but it would be easier to just refer you to his first verse. The second verse is dope as well, but that first verse is something special. My mother always asked me, "So if INSERT FRIEND'S NAME HERE told you to jump off a roof, you would jump?" I now know the answer: "Yes, mother. Vince Staples told me to, so I must." Senorita: 9/10 -The single that caught my attention immediately, Vince Staples drops some absolutely incredible verses in between an annoyingly present hook from Future. The video for this one is also quite the trip, but ignoring that, Staples brings an incredible flow and drops some of the best verses on the album. The beat is great and the only thing stopping this one from being "perfect" is the hook and the fact that the verses are not longer. His verses, as they are, are damn near perfection though so I cannot complain too much. As with the previous track, no quotes this time because it would just be both verses and you can just look up the lyrics yourself. Summertime: 9/10 -The second of three beats provided by Clams Casino, this one is equally as dope as the previous one. Featuring some rap-singing from Vince with altered vocals, I love what he is saying, such as, "Hold my hand let me take you to the land / Where the ocean and the sands are meetin' / Look at the sun, all we need to see to know our freedom / Open up your heart, if we don't love then we fall apart / This could be forever, baby, I never seen you wetter, baby / Then when the tears fall soakin' up your sweater, baby" and "Hope you understand, they never taught me how to be a man / Only how to be a shooter, I only need the time to prove it". His delivery here is great and you can really hear the emotion in his voice on this track. There is no way to not love this one, honestly, even if the altered vocals are not great, this one just really hits you. Oh and the lyrics are awesome. Ramona Park Legend Pt. 2: NA/10 -"When I die build a shrine on my side of the town if it's cool". This one is not long enough for me to rate, but is dope nonetheless. Just as Part One was a great intro the disc one and the album as a whole, this one is a dope intro to disc two. Vince knows how to start off hot. 3230: 10/10 -"Another day in sunny California / The FEDs takin' pictures and they tappin' Motorolas / Everybody snitchin', gotta live with paranoia / A soldier since the stroller, ask my mama if you doubt that / Homie where ya clout at? You ain't ever push nobody's scalp back". Damn. Vince goes in on this track with just a brief interlude breaking up the two verses and thank God for that. Given his hook history, I am glad this one is hookless, especially since the verses are so dope. Like, look at these closing bars, "Dollar and a dream, at night time we maskin' up / The deadly game of tag, the older generations passed to us / I got a clip that's long enough to shoot until the casket come / Wait until that casket drop, they droppin' when that magnum pop". Just awesome. Great lyrics, flow, and delivery, Staples hits this one out of the park. Surf (ft. Kilo Kish): 8/10 -Another breathy and haunting hook delivered here by Kilo Kish, it is sandwiched between a pair of strong verses from Vince Staples. Though not his best on the album, his flow and delivery are still killer and the verse themselves are, again, strong. Standout lines here include, "How you black sellin' crack for the white man? / How you real, wouldn't kill for your right hand?" and "In the planned parenthood playin' God with ya mom's check, you ain't even been to prom yet / Sixteen, heard you wanna be a star girl / What he charge for the dream that you bought girl / What's the price for a life in this dark world?". Good stuff. Might Be Wrong (ft. Haneef Talib): NA/10 -Oh that hidden feature from James Fauntleroy and Cocaine 80s. God are they dope. Great hook here finally. This one is largely just Haneef Talib speaking and is definitely worth a listen. All the same, this one does not get a rating. Get Paid (ft. Desi Mo): 7/10 -The second single from the album, my first impression when I first listened was, "Dope stuff, but my Lord is the hook ass". My opinion is unchanged in that regard. Luckily, the verses here are very good and I like the way Desi Mo is used on the track. Good lyrics, such as, "Lemme tell you what the OGs told us / Money over bitches, keep your head on your shoulders / Pussy leave a lot of niggas dead if you notice / Big booty cuties be the coldest, cobras". I really love his delivery of those lines and a few others on this track. His flow continues to be good as well on this one. Overall, not the strongest track here, but still a good one. Street Punks: 8/10 -"Tryna be the only Crippin' ***** sitting in the Vogue / Better put me on the cover, undercovers at my home / Tryna catch a ***** slippin', but I'm stickin' to the flow / Heard these niggas flippin' coke, why the fuck these niggas broke? / If it's shooters in the squad, what's the bodyguard for?". An absolutely bumping beat from No I.D. (who did much of the album) and bars like that? Yes please. Though the hook is pretty weak, it is not the worst one on the album and the beat bumps something different. The star here has to be that beat, which absolutely slams and then Vince rides it very, very well. Hang N’ Bang (ft. A$ton Matthews): 3/10 -Featuring a very bad hook and verses from Vince and A$ton Matthews continually broken up by the repeating phrase "that's true". Overall, this one has to be the weakest song here. Though the beat is nice, I am just feeling this one in the least. I do not like the verses that much and like I said, the hook is hot garbage. C.N.B.: 5/10 -"The sheets and crosses turned to suits and ties". Tell us how you really feel there Mr. Staples. The hook on this one is alright and then the verses have their moments, but I do not know, maybe I am burned out by this point or something, but I am just not feeling it. It feels all over the place and oddly cluttered. It is better than the last track for sure, but it just falls flat for the most part. Like It Is: 8/10 -The beat here from No I.D. is incredibly unique to be sure and I really like what Vince is saying on this one. The return of good lyrics, flow, and delivery. Hell, even the hook is good here. The interludes are good, introspective pieces of this song, and really well placed. The lyrics here also have moments of brilliance, such as, "Do doves cry when the black man dies, or do we croak with crows / The young catch gun shots, the old catch the holy ghost" and "I been through hell and back, I seen my momma cry / Seen my father hit the crack then hit the set to flip a sack / I done seen my homies die then went on rides to kill 'em back". Overall, as the last true song, this one is a strong ending and luckily brings us back to good songs just in the time for the album to end. '06: NA/10 124/160 -> 7.75/10 Vince Staples' debut album is quite the accomplishment for sure. After a great EP at the end of the last year in Hell Can Wait and some great verses before that on Earl Sweatshirt projects, as well as others, Vince certainly had my attention. Much of that potential pays off here, though so did many of my fears. My main fear being that he would just be a guy who drops hot verses and could not carry a whole song himself, let alone a whole project. While most of the songs here do not fall victim to this possibility, some do. He cannot write a hook to save his life and though this album is incredibly ambitious, it feels a bit bloated and overlong with some tracks winding up being filler. Though you do have to admire the incredible ambition he shows on this album. At the peak, this album is introspective, socially aware, and incredible crafted. This is evident on tracks such as, "Lift Me Up", "Norf Norf", "Jump Off the Roof", "Senorita", "Summertime", and "3230". At its worst, the songs feel cluttered and boring, such as "Dopeman", "Hang N Bang", and "CNB". The first disc of this album also blows away the second disc, leaving a sour taste in the mouth of the listener, as though I really dug the album, I feel disappointed by the end due to the poor second half. Luckily, there are some seriously killer tracks here that are some of the strongest songs on any album in the first half of 2015. Vince Staples' debut finds him dropping phenomenal verses throughout, great rhymes, killer wordplay, and a great combo of flow and delivery, though it also finds him struggling to remain consistent with those positives. The sky is the limit for him and I for one hope to see him take the positives from this debut and build on them, while fixing his flaws on his sophomore effort.
