Ready for Competition: Meek Mill Interview Deals with Kendrick Lamar

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Meek Mill has been all over hip-hop news lately. From his anticipated, upcoming mixtape “Dreamchasers 3,” to his label’s “Self Made Vol. 3″ compilation, to his beef with Kendrick Lamar: There has been no shortage of MMG’s Meek Mill in the media. Meek Mill sat down with Elliot Wilson from Jay Z’s ‘Life And Times’  YouTube channel to discuss everything he has going on. According to hiphopwired.com:

“In the latest episode of Elliott Wilson’s The Truth, the subject is Meek Mill. YN chopped it up with MMG rapper about some hot topics at hand including battling Kendrick Lamar, his Dreamchasers 3 mixtape, Cassidy disrespecting the late Snupe’s name, and more, while eating some grub at Philippe Restaurant in NYC.

“Meek figured K. Dot was just ‘talking his sh*t’ on some ‘fun Hip-Hop sh*t. Any ni–a that like Hip-Hop like that sh*t,’ said Meek Mill.”

Meek Mill makes it clear that the beef between him and Kendrick is purely about music, and that he and Kendrick have a mutual respect for each other. Meek Milly does, however, distinguish himself from the current generation of rappers, as he thinks he’s more of an old school rapper like a Jay Z, Nas or 50 Cent, who welcomes competition and addresses it immediately.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
