Raised in the North Philadelphia section of the city with his sister and inspired by his mother and father; who died when he was five, Meek Mill began taking the rap game seriously at the age of 12 after losing a street battle to neighboring rappers. He says his desire to rap grew after watching his uncle Philly hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Nell. While hanging out in his neighborhood, Meek met three guys and formed the group, “BloodHoundz,” which consisted of Mel Love, Dat Nigga Leel and Young Pooh. The group lasted for fives years and Meek ventured on his own.
With a solo career in tow, Meek became one of Philadelphia’s hottest underground rap artists on an independent label. In 2007, Meek debuted his Flamerz series, which stands for hottest songs and released his first mix tape, Flamerz 1, which featured the hit single, “In My Bag.”
In 2008, Meek debuted the highly anticipated Flamerz 2 –“Hottest In Da City,” which showcased more of his lyrical abilities with the singles, “So Fly,” “Prolli,” and “Hottest In Da City.” Upon release of Flamerz 2, it caught the attention of founder and President of 215Aphillyated Records, Charlie Mack. Mack was immediately impressed with Meek that he signed him to his management company. During the same year, he met the founder and owner of Grand Hustle, TI. TI was impressed with his lyrical ability that he offered him an opportunity to travel to Los Angeles to meet with him along with the Warner Brothers Records, within one week both record companies offered him a deal. Meek was overwhelmed by the offers; however, he felt collaborating with TI was an opportunity of a lifetime and chose his label. An ecstatic Meek was on top of the world; a record deal and the chance to work with one of hip hop’s greatest rappers and then a set back occurred. He was arrested, charged with a crime and order to serve seven months in jail.
Meek pre-released three singles from his third mix tape Flamerz 2.5 – “The Preview” in August of 2009, which featured the chart topping hits, “Make ‘Em Say,” “Imma Da Ish,” featuring Ms. Jade and “Starting Something,” in honor Michael Jackson. Within the first two weeks of its release, Clear Channel added it to their play list, which is an anomaly in the music business. In June of 2009, Meek began immediately working on his freshman album – Flamerz 3, “Hottest In America – Gangster Grill Edition,” hosted by DJ Drama and featuring the songs: “Baby Girl,” “Hottest In America,” and “I’m Killinem.” The highly anticipated cd is set to be released on January 19, 2010. Despite his stint in jail, Meek’s fans remained loyal, he currently boasts of 13 million hits on My Space and 20 million viewers on You Tube. Meek Mill has recently just signed to Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group.
In the future, Meek plans to establish the Meek Mill Foundation, which will mentor young males between the ages of 12-24 on the importance of “Education over Incarceration.” He gives a shoutout to the next artist coming up named shizz.. He also plans to collaborate with United Community Action Network and the Lifers of Graterford Prison to address the violence plaguing our cities.

2015 - BEEF WITH DRAKE
In July 2015 Meek attempted to air out Drake for "not writing his own raps" via popular social media site Twitter. These tweets resulted in a huge reaction from the hip hop community, however, the stunt went awry when Drake (Aubrey Graham) decided to respond. Drake released the diss track "Charged Up" during an Apple Music stream and an immediate response from Meek was demanded. Funkmaster Flex announced he would debut Meek's response live on Hot97. However, the track never came. After four days there was still no sign of a response from Meek, prompting Drake to release a second diss track "Back To Back." The response to this was huge and a harsh blow to Meek's career. Two days later Meek finally released "Wanna Know." This track received largely negative reviews and it was clear to most that Drake had won the beef. On August 2nd at the annual OVOfest, Drake truly roasted Meek Mill; performing "Back To Back" in front of various memes poking fun at Meek to a raucous Toronto crowd. Many fans believed this to be the nail in the coffin spelling the end for Meek's career.

Meek Mill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think I'm supposed to give a fuck now cause I'm rich?
Shit on me made me worse
Hatin' ass niggas made me worse
I ain't never care what a nigga had to say about me
And I ain't never care what a bitch had to say about me
It just make me, it just make me
And I ain't never care what a bitch had to say about me
And I ain't never care what a nigga had to say about me
And I ain't never care what a bitch had to say about me
And I ain't never care what a nigga had to say about me
And I ain't never care what a bitch had to say about me
It just make me, wanna shit on ya'll niggas
It just make me, wanna shit on ya'll bitches straight up
And I done seen bitches change on me for a little paper
And I done seen niggas change on me for a little favor
It just make me, wanna stunt on ya'll niggas
It just make me, wanna fuck on ya'll bitches
And I be popping bottles in the club feelin' like Meecho
And you know my niggas gonna bring them choppers everywhere we go
And I don't ever tuck my chain I guess it's just a niggas ego
I'm just a young nigga ballin' wanna take me out the game D Rose
And that make me, wanna load up the choppers go crazy
And doors slide on every niggas that hatin' me
And stunt on every single bitch that ever played me back then
You don't wanna hear the Mac-10
No one hear the stories what you had then
Reason why I bought the Bentley and the Aston
To shit on niggas every time a nigga back in
And I ain't never care what a nigga had to say about me
And I ain't never care what a bitch had to say about me
It just make me, wanna shit on ya'll niggas
It just make me, wanna shit on ya'll bitches straight up
And it made me, wanna shit on ya'll niggas
'Cause lately, I ain't been feelin' ya'll niggas
Try and play me, I drop a brick on ya'll niggas
And make 'em go crazy, on every single one of ya'll niggas straight up
And all these hoes wanna fuck with a nigga like me
But when I was locked down ain't none of these hoes write me
That's why I don't chase bitches cause the money only thing excite me
And I don't fuck with new niggas all day one niggas beside me
We got thirties, ridin' round tryna do a nigga dirty
Try and burn me, headshot bye bye for a birdie
And I ain't worried, about none of ya'll niggas tryna hurt me
I got all these killers on stand-by
And they kill any nigga tryna murk me word up
And I ain't never care what a nigga had to say about me
And I ain't never care what a bitch had to say about me
It just make me, wanna shit on ya'll niggas
It just make me, wanna shit on ya'll bitches straight up
We don't never hate we ain't rattin' on nobody
When I touch twenty mill I'm a go and get that Gatti'
It just make me, wanna stack this paper
It just make me, wanna wack these haters straight up
And I be in the city going hard like a nigga own that
And you be fucking with the nigga that be fucking with the niggas code rats
I can't control my dogs with them 30's they don't never hold back
Ask about me in my city they tell you that we really on that
I got the baddest bitch
I got the fliest whips
And god bless me I never ever gettin' tired of this
I ain't worried 'bout nothing
I ain't worried 'bout nothing
'Cause if I was worried bout somethin'
All ya'll niggas gettin' murdered bout' somethin' straight up
And I ain't never care what a nigga had to say about me
And I ain't never care what a bitch had to say about me
It just make me, wanna shit on ya'll niggas
It just make me, wanna shit on ya'll bitches straight up
In Meek Mill's song "Make Me," he talks about not caring what anyone thinks about him, whether they are haters or fans. He mentions how the hate and criticism he received in the past only made him stronger and more determined to succeed. He acknowledges that some people change for money or favors, but he remains true to himself and his values. The chorus repeats the line, "It just make me, wanna shit on ya'll niggas," which may seem vulgar, but it simply means that Meek wants to prove his worth and show his doubters that he is capable of success.
Throughout the song, Meek also refers to his luxurious lifestyle, popping bottles in clubs, and driving expensive cars. He admits that he enjoys flaunting his wealth and status, but he is also aware of the dangers that come with it. He mentions that he and his friends carry choppers (guns) with them everywhere they go because they fear for their safety. He emphasizes that he is not to be messed with, and anyone who tries to hurt him or his crew will be dealt with swiftly and ruthlessly.
Overall, "Make Me" is a song about confidence, determination, and success. Meek Mill uses his lyrics to express his resilience in the face of adversity, his gratitude for his blessings, and his determination to keep winning.

I ain't never give a fuck
I have never cared about anyone's opinion before
You think I'm supposed to give a fuck now cause I'm rich?
Just because I am rich, does not mean I should care about people's opinions
Shit on me made me worse
When people treated me badly, it only made me stronger and more motivated
Hatin' ass niggas made me worse
People who hate on me only fuel my motivation and make me a stronger person
It just make me, it just make me
All the negativity towards me only motivates me more
And I done seen bitches change on me for a little paper
I have experienced women being willing to betray me for a small amount of money
And I done seen niggas change on me for a little favor
I have experienced men being willing to betray me for a small favor
It just make me, wanna stunt on ya'll niggas
These experiences make me want to show off and prove myself to those who have wronged me
It just make me, wanna fuck on ya'll bitches
These experiences make me want to have sex with the women who have wronged me to prove a point
And doors slide on every niggas that hatin' me
I am prepared to attack those who hate me with fierce retaliation
And stunt on every single bitch that ever played me back then
I want to prove myself and show off to the women who have betrayed me in the past
I'm just a young nigga ballin' wanna take me out the game D Rose
I am enjoying my success as a young man, but know that people may try to bring me down like they did Derrick Rose
And that make me, wanna load up the choppers go crazy
The thought of someone trying to take me down motivates me to prepare for battle
And doors slide on every niggas that hatin' me
I am willing to attack anyone who hates me and wishes to do me harm
And all these hoes wanna fuck with a nigga like me
Women are attracted to me because of my success
That's why I don't chase bitches cause the money only thing excite me
I am focused on success and wealth, not women
And I don't fuck with new niggas all day one niggas beside me
I only associate with the people who have been loyal to me from the beginning
I got the baddest bitch
I have the most attractive woman
I got the fliest whips
I have the most impressive cars
I ain't worried 'bout nothing
I am not concerned about anything
'Cause if I was worried 'bout somethin'
If I were worried about something
All ya'll niggas gettin' murdered bout' somethin' straight up
Those who oppose me would face dire consequences

Salute to Meek. I already knew he could spit bars, now I see he's finally learning different song formulas, trying different things. He's becoming a well rounded artist. I appreciate it.
Caleb Mcgowan
This is one of the greatest songs of hip hop. Whenever I'm having one of those funky days where I don't want to go to work, I turn this on and it gets me going. Keep bringing the heat for the real go getters out there Meek! Who else in the hip hop world is smoking cigars other than the Godfather Jay-Z...keep it blazing man.
