Meek Mill

All in all, <a href="/profile/MeekMill" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Meek Mill</a>&#8217;s 4/4 part 2 EP is a ferocious release, with nearly every track equaling the unrelenting energy of &#8220;War Zone,&#8221; a record which not only takes aim at <a href="/profile/Drake" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Drake</a>, but manages to respond to multiple lines from the rapper&#8217;s Summer Sixteen record, released a mere 10 minutes earlier. With that being said, &#8220;Slippin'&#8221; is the one moment on the project where things cool down, perfectly placed just before things heat up again on &#8220;War Zone&#8221;. <a href="/profile/Future" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Future</a> comes through with a reggae-inflected hook, which dances nimbly over Beat Bully&#8217;s cinematic sample (a nod to <a href="/profile/DMX" class="text-word" target="_blank" >DMX</a>&#8217;s 1998 single of the same name). Meek comes through with an emotional delivery, but one that&#8217;s no less aggressive than what we hear on the more knocking tracks on the project. After that, Harlem&#8217;s <a href="/profile/daveeast" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Dave East</a> keeps up with Meek, bringing some vivid imagery and understated storytelling to the table. Quotable Lyrics: So I ball hard, post it on the &#8216;Gram just to motivate &#8217;em When you&#8217;re gettin&#8217; money niggas&#8217; broke, they supposed to hate it Hurt my heart when I seen My closest homie caught the vapors Gotta watch &#8217;em closely, backstabbers they poke me Shot me, brought me down on my knees Tried to Derrick Rose me Won &#8217;em a ring, still did me like I was Kobe Talked down on me when they thought that I slipped You niggas crazy if you thought I would quit, no!
