Meek Mill’s “Intro” Is An Exhibit in Not Particularly Impressive Wordplay (Listen) Posted by Nathan S. on 10/22/12 | Filed under Meek Mill, MMG

Ah, the "Intro" track, a track used by rappers since time-immemorial to showcase the kind of lyrical complexity they had to submerge on the rest of the album. So its no surprise that Meek Mill uses the "Intro" of his upcoming "Dreams & Nightmares" to bring out his mic skills...

...and it's also no surprise that those mic skills aren't particularly impressive. "It was time to marry the game and I said yeah, I do / shorty she try to bless me like I said achoo." Ouch, that's not exactly the second coming of Nas, which is fine. I don't really listen to Meek for the crazy wordplay, I listen to Meek for the aggressive rhymes. Meek's lane is being the street rapper who has occasional moments of lyricism, not the lyrical rapper who has occasional moments of street.

This just isn't his lane, but I'm guessing his "Dreams & Nightmares" will have more than its fair share of big beats and bangers. We'll just have to wait until the album drops next week (10/30). In the meantime, enjoy...or something:
