They’re trying to save the streets. . .
Meek Mill, Poundside Pop issues explained, following social media exchange. Some neighborhoods in Philly have turned their back on Meek. Every day, Philadelphia is building new prisons, to lock up potential black kings, as well as other major cities across the states.
Over the weekend, Meek shared a tweet saying “Pretty soon everybody gone have to pick a side. Too much real shit going on too be cool with everybody.” This was his message to the streets, saying to put the guns down and make legal money.
This same sentiment has been echoed by his mentor, JAY-Z, as the two have been working to change local laws in Philadelphia; that prevents people from going through what Meek went through. Unfortunately, the message was met with criticism; including Poundside Pop going as far as to saying that Meek wasn’t from South Philadelphia.
Throughout his history, Meek has always said he was from Catharine St & S 18th St on the Southside; which has never been questioned by those from the city. The disconnect happened when a younger emerging artists, like Poundside Pop, didn’t realize that Meek was trying to genuinely help him out.
Meek wasn’t asking for anyone to make money with him, and went out of his was to give advice to the young kings. This needs to be said by every rapper, who’s left the streets behind after seeing the endgame.
The endgame is prison time, death and multiple families being affected by a single incident. JAY-Z, who also has seen those same street wars, is putting a person connected to the youth in Meek Mill, to relay his message of moving cleanly.
These people have no problem locking you up, as well as them waiting for you to die to collect posthumous music money. It’s happening every year with a major rapper getting set-up 🏁 dying.
