#DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES MEEK MILL LYRICS PROFESSIONAL#

Sometimes his shouting is a brilliant turn, as with the on-fire opener “(Intro) Dreams and Nightmares”. It seems necessary for Mill, a guy trying hard to make a name for himself even as he is charged with building the MMG brand at every turn – yes, we do get the woman saying “Maybach Music” tagline more than once here. In fact, the whole record feels ham-handedly strident. So it’s no real surprise that Meek Mill spends a lot of time yelling on this record. It’s a record that proves MMG a conglomerate, a very direct money-making machine, rather than making money through creativity.

But it also feels professional in all the coldest ways. There are moments of greatness from Mill here, and as a whole it is a well-built record. It’s another safe full-length from the group, the kind of thing that will sell copies but stifles the charm and creativity of the rapper in the spotlight. He’s got the immediate fire of Ross’s carefully regimented rhymes and the intricate flow of Wale’s tricky wordplay, but he manages to sound like neither of his MMG partners.īut if this year’s Dreamchaser 2 showed Meek Mill at the top of his game, Dreams and Nightmares tells a story more about MMG than Mill himself. Mill has given us two great mixtapes, Dreamchasers and Dreamchasers 2, that prove he is as smooth a rapper as there is working today. And then you’ve got Meek Mill, the most curious and unknown rapper of the bunch, which isn’t to say he hasn’t been busy. Wale had a decent sophomore record in Ambition, but the Eleven One Eleven Theory tape was far better. Rick Ross’s Rich Forever was a mixtape that doubled as his far-and-away best full-length. But for a group of rappers that want to be “rich forever”, they often give their best work away free.

Head honcho Rick Ross has become, as he claimed he would, a don in today’s hip-hop world, an untouchable hit and tastemaker that has assembled a popular stable of rappers, himself included. Maybach Music Group works curiously backwards.
