“Our genre prides itself so much on finding new shit that we don’t appreciate nothing no more,” Wale proclaims. “They’re so busy telling niggas that they’re not great or not future legends, that they anoint niggas that haven’t done nothing! I’m not taking nothing away from Chief Keef, but they just jumped so fast! Y’all was just on A$AP hard! I sold 165,000 in the first week in the face of niggas that blatantly didn’t want to see me win. But y’all concerned about who’s next…”
“I think I can be the biggest rapper in the game,” Meek says matter-of-factly. “Ross is the boss of the team, but he’s not the limit to how far you can go. I got plans on being bigger than Jay-Z—and [Ross] wants that.
Full Story Vibe
Do you agree with what Wale is saying about the rush to find the new artist to blow up? Does Meek Mill have that much potential in your eyes? Is MMG the hottest record label out right now, as Diddy said on 106 & Park yesterday?

I agree with Wale. And to address what Meek said… every rapper wants to be bigger than Jay Z. Only time will tell. Add some substance to the music and not having all your songs sound the same will be a good start tho. And that’s not hate its an observation.
My man summed it up pretty well. Nobody can predict that level of success. Not even Jay-Z coulda seen it coming when he was Meeks age.
The only other Jay-Z like figure I can predict in the near future is ironically Kanye.
^^^ Meek has enough songs with substance, they be buried on his mixtapes though. You gotta listen to every track.
But I don’t think he can be bigger than Jay, or even Kanye/Wayne status. We’ll see. Also, Wale feeling a little salty about not getting enough shine.
Meek bigger than JAY?. NEGATIVE. meek got a one track mind when it comes to making songs.
Big u took da words out my mouth..meek is a nice rapper but he talks about da sametin..YM-Drake, Wayne, Nicky Tyga..MMG-Ross, Meek, Wale..base on album sales n future album sales YM is gon b the hottest in the game for sometime
Wale has alot of envy in his heart, if he first tries to resolve the issues he has within himself then he can get to where he feels he should be in the game. Worrying about the next man’s business is the first “don’t do” of business. As far as Meek, there’s been no rapper bigger than Jay-Z and probably never will … but Meek’s a “Dreamchaser” so I understand why he’d say something like that.
Wale is right.In hip hop,the label executives are addicted to fly by night,rather than artists that are already established,and that have the potential to have longevity in this game.
all these artist are trash fake drug dealers thugs all that shit meek mills was broke as hell last year and previous now all he talk bout is birds i fuk ur bitch sip lean and ross got me strait shit corny baak n da day wen a rapper talk drug talk i was at a believeable amout nowadays everybody mega king pin knowing damn well this money comin from rap and rap only its 2012 stop frontn and the youth be listening to this shit because these artist such as meek mills and ross make it seem so easy i use to think rick ross made hot shit but now all they music sound like one long as song we call these one verse as rappers stalley got the mean face i see all thru that nigga ross put u beside finger n the ass omarion smh. wale boring as fuk all he talk bout clothes all day like always was a fresh nigga in spoken word lmao these niggas is corny point blank period fuk wit real artist like nas action bronson joey badass mf doom
and im not hatin a i jus give credit well credits do everybody else jus brainwashed on twiiter n facebook all fuckn day do wat everybody is doin wake up people and wale made foamposites corny
wale acting like he want one of the fly by night who next rappers and he failed , so they sent him to rap training school with ross.wale is soo overrated , weak rs, garbage flow and raps about the same thing every songs and uses the same words.
cosign this^^^^
First off, NOBODY should take Diddy’s word serious cause he just jumps on whoever bandwagon is hot at the moment. Secondly, Wale has some seriously deep rooted problems in his heart, if you listen to his interviews, follow his twitter, he’ll see he hasn’t grown into a man yet, he screams at chicks and watch what other rappers are doing, worry bout ya own, Chief Keef probably made that I Dont Like record about him, bitch ass nigga and lastly, I won’t knock Meek for having ambition and knowing what he wants out of the rap game and because I respect him as man who got an opportunity and made good use of it but Jay been doing this since the 90′s, he hasn’t even released his debut yet, worry about that before you start to dream about being bigger than Jay but we’ll have to wait 20 years to see and just like every other crew that was hot, MMG will burn out and no1 will care and we’ll be having this same convo about another group.
We can’t discredit DIDDY, but I disagree too. You can’t say they the hottest out while G.O.O.D. clearly has the hottest song of the summer. Unless I’m missing something Kanye has the game on lock
Meek raps about the same thing? And Jay doesn’t? All i hear him rap about is his money, clothes, business ventures, how great he is, etc etc…basically an old ass kanye.
…It’s unfortunate you haven’t been listening.
You might be bigger than jayz, but you’ ll
never be mentioned as a great like jay,nas,
big,pac,or em. keep chasin your dreams little
hommie.
…He “might be bigger” but wont be “mentioned as a great”.. Huh? LOL
Meek does not have that potential at all. Hov influence a whole culture. Meek is good, but dont get ahead of yourself. Get a couple successful albums under your belt first before aiming for the stars G.
We won’t know if Meek has that potential for a while. He hasn’t even put out an album. But somebody will be better than Jay one day. Its called evolution and progression. Its rare to see music artist reach a place where they become a classic, and their work becomes timeless. Pac and B.I.G. are the only rappers to reach that level.

These new rappers are funny. Wale got some issues, this is nigga is one of the most sensitive nigga in the game. And Meek talking about being Jay when my nigga doesn’t even have an album out and when you under Ricky. Jay came in the game without being bossed up b. and secondly jay didn’t come in the game saying I’m gonna be Big or better than Big or Rakim or so and so. He just did his thing and fast forward 20 yrs of hustle and he’s Jay.
And on the real even if Meek gets to Jay status in 20 years, Jay is gonna be a billionaire. So whatchu talkin bout? My nigga say chasin dreams. You not even on Drake’s level.
Wale hit it right on the head. People pride themselves way too hard on being “first” to discover new artists. Seems like yesterday that Wiz, Big Sean, Tyler were all up and comers and now they are treated like yesterday’s news to make room for
only thing i can say about jay and meek mill is that, jayz was a brilliant lyricist and had to dumb down for the audience and to double his dollars (they criticized him for it but they all yelled holla)
where as i dont think meek mill can dumb down anymore than he has cuz his raps arent brilliant. i enjoy the young dudes music tho

All u niggas are wack. Meek is setting the bar high for himself to attain his goals, u think barack was like i will never be president attitude?? Its like how kobe wanna be better than jordan or how lebron wanna be better than kobe. Bet jay wanted to be better than big, lets be real. Its like saying once big died hov stepped back and was like shit i aint better then big im done lol niggas are small minded. whatever you do you wanna be better than the person at the top and if u niggas dont believe that yall never gonna be shit
Um, that kind of goes without saying. LOL It’s Jay-Z who all artist inspirer to be (or be better than). Doesn’t change the fact that Meek although nice seems to lack the.. “it” quality that it would take to be as good as a Jay-Z let alone better, bigger, whatever.
meek millz is sexy
i fucks with chu martyy mcfly
Owning your own Record Label,dropping 11-12 #1 Albums,Selling over 50 Million Albums Worldwide,Selling out Arenas holding 70-100k in the audience,Branching off Rap to other Business Ventures.Successfully doing that Having a net worth of almost $500 Million Meek Mill can make those statements after he does that! Cause Hov already did it #Facts
Shout To ROZAY for lettin his team SHINE!!!! I don’t know another “BOSS” in the game that would let his artist get center of the magazine cover like that. Unselfishness leads to wealthiness!!!!!!!!
First off eminem is actually the biggest selling rapper ever. As far as Jay he been able to sustain his legacy and greatness because of his outside business decisions. The fact these young guys like Meek is into buying cars and jewerly and not focus on business is why i find it hard to believe that this guy will be bigger than Jay, em, 50, Kanye. All rappers have to take advantage of being hot that’s why his album should have already came out instead of the Dreamcaster 2 mixtape. Life is away’s about the next person coming along that why when you have the torch you have to run until it burns the fuck out.
Well, Meek is ambitious. I’ll def give him that.
Yall sayin meek songz sound da same drugz bitchez money etc but if u listen 2 reasonable doubt most his songz was bout drugz money n broadz no way am I sayin dreamz n nitemarez gone b comparable 2 jay but rapperz on they 1st albumz talk bout wat they kno meek grew up n da strewtz fa real like jay n philly iz crazy jay aint,start switchin up his style till his 4th album…giv meek sum time n he gone eventually gone fall bak from mmg cuz wale act like a bitch da otha ppl will neva drop an album n he will b bigga then ross I jus hope they dont fuk wit giz contract once this album get him super hot..
I agree wit slot if y’all but most of y’all didn’t hear meek until he got signed so y’all didn’t hear the real meek,the hungry meek nd if you was a Philly. Boll u would no that meek got booked. Twice one for possession of weed/crack another for pointing a gun at a cop so meek is about thar life. And Ross iss fake LOL smh
