Elliott Wilson

In the final part of CRWN with Meek Mill and Elliott Wilson, the Philly rapper holds nothing back as he talks about why he doesn’t listen to Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. “Let me get this clear. J. Cole is dope as shit, he one of the hottest rappers doing it right now. Kendrick Lamar, I think he the best lyricist doing it right now in the rap game, but I don’t listen to that type of music,” said Meek. “I used to listen to Kendrick shit. This time he came with some shit…it just wasn’t in my lane.” “If Nicki do a pop song, nine times out of ten I ain’t never gonna listen to it in my life,” he continued. Meek also talks about playing his new album for Kanye, his strengths and weaknesses, and why he’s all about that bike life. Watch the whole thing above and check out parts one, two, and three if you missed them.

In part two of CRWN with Meek Mill the Philly MC details his most recent incarceration for a parole violation. He explained that he was attending probation hearings and was surprised by the sentence. Judge Genese E. Brinkley found that he had failed to get her permission before booking out-of-town concerts and other violations. He served five months at a Philly jail and was released in December of 2014. “When I first got down there n*ggas was staring at me, banging on the windows. It was a nightmare,” Meek said criticizing the culture that celebrates going to jail and countered that taking care of your family is what’s gangster. “You shackled from your ankles to your wrist, sh*t that y’all will never see on the Internet…I was in the cell for 23 hours a day [by myself].” Meek also took the time to talk about his mom, who used to boost him his first sneakers, his relationship with his son and his collaborations with artists like Future, Kendrick Lamar and Jay Z. “On ‘A-1 Everything’ I think Kendrick murdered me…I like his verse better than mine. I like Nicki’s verse better than mine on ‘All Eyes on You’ …but at the end of the day it’s my song and I came up with the idea. Some people gonna win sometimes…it motivates me and inspires me.”

In part one, Meek talks about why he made changes to his album when he got out of jail, how he became obsessed with the internet, and what it was like making music with his girlfriend Nicki Minaj. He also talked about the process of choosing a single for his album with Nicki. “She was fighting for me to have a mainstream song and you know me, I like that real shit, that grimy shit,” said Meek. “I don’t need no single on the radio to sell no album. I never gave my fans that and they’ve been here with me this long, so we argue back and forth. She end up winning. Nicki is a monster.” Watch part one of CRWN with Meek and YN above, and stay tuned for part two tomorrow. Trust us – it only gets better.
