3.0 good | dihstyle69 | January 31st 16 | the production and amount of energy that meek brings to these songs definitely make up for the stale lyrics but fans of his old mixtapes will probably find this somewhat disappointing. 3+

3.0 good | RammaJamma | November 25th 15 | The guests give it a 3, as they all mercilessly shit on Meek. Jump Out the Face is a Future song straight up. Other than that there's nothing new here.

3.5 great | TheManMachine | November 22nd 15 | If you kick things off with a brazen sampling of Mozart's "Lacrimosa", you best B.R.I.N.G. it -- fortunately, Meek is far from meek and scarcely not in vigorous hype mode. Teetering away from the beat to quantify his millions one by one, tossin' out nuanced and provocational rhymes with madcap abandon, making a celebrious chorus out of repeating 'check' 13 times in a row; it seems his insistence on possessing "The Juice" is factual. And when the requisite room is made for chart-prepping/star-studding, it certainly could be worse: a back-n-forth with bae Nicki Minaj comes off a bit contrived, Chris Brown is congenial if I overlook that it's Chris Brown, Future mumbles the same ol' same ol', an electricified hook via The Weeknd is used as reinforcement for lurkin' on another man's girl, Diddy-as-elder brandishes a bumbling perils-of-fame speech. And of course, the now famously ghostwritten Drake feature -- a beef-sparker that arguably left the accusatory Meek looking petty and Drake an untouchable victor, but given the latter's tidily predictable procedure versus the former's unrefined in-the-moment coarseness, can you blame the guy for gettin' vexed?

3.0 good | Daryl the Beryl | July 25th 15 | Once again, what could have been an excellent album was watered down by some poor lyrics. Production and flow is very good though.

3.5 great | Alabaster Jones | July 7th 15 | Meek Mill is a guy I've always considered to be one of the better lyricists in trap rap. Granted, that isn't saying much, but he's at the very least competent lyrically, while also having a fantastic presence on the microphone, a charged and heavy-handed delivery, and that contagious charisma that every trap rapper needs. He does all of this in spades on his sophomore full-length, and manages to surprise near the end of the album as well. While things get off to a roaring start with "Lord Knows", there isn't a song matching it's quality for a while, even though they are still good fun. Still, once "Check" comes through, it starts a chain of five excellent songs that end the album on a wonderful note. The penultimate track "Stand Up" does a great job of setting up the closer "Cold Hearted", which is one of the best things Meek Mill has done to date. All in all, it's fun, charismatic trap that can be pretty interesting when it wants to be, and that's a welcome surprise.
