#7 How Meek Mill turn the L’s into W’s: Meek Mill It’s time to stop being a part time gangsta Meek Mill at this point in his life isn’t gaining anything positive from maintaining this gangsta label. It’s okay to stop being gangsta; it’s okay to not be directly in that lifestyle. His implicit gangsta statements or portrayals have opened him up to ridicule by Beanie Sigel. They have also allotted The Game the best position to push and maintain a heavy L on his person. He is fitted to or held by the rules of gangstas, when we see the Meek Mill‘s average moves doesn’t sync with this lifestyle.
#6 How Meek Mill turn the L’s into W’s: charity and public works Meek Mill needs to not have any conflicts for atleast two years. He has to stay out of negativity and just move his brand away from all that, the longer the better. During those two years Meek needs to be building his brand up by doing positivity. Alot of public relations and charity over that time minimum will really help him out. Most of this should be done in Philly. This is going to make it harder for Beanie Sigel, The Game and anyone else to go at Meek Mill. He can start small, doing things like putting new rims at a few basket ball parks in the city. Donating to food drives, hosting events, buying school supplies for kids in the hood and inner city. Using his brand to try and attract more charities to the troubles going on in these negative urban areas.
#5 How Meek Mill turn the L’s into W’s: Make Amends with The Game Meek Mill needs to also make amends with The Game. Alot of the rationale behind this can be found in #4 apologizing to Beanie Sigel about sucker punching him. If Meek Mill apologizes to Beanie and then moves to squash the beef with The Game it will make it harder for both parties to draw anymore points from beefing with Meek Mill. The Game vs. Meek Mill battle is pretty much over on the music industry side. The Game has won that, it’s just now about how much damage either side is going to suffer publicly or in the backstreets. Meek is in a bad position because The Game has the moral high ground. He has taken fans from Meek Mill, he has hurt his brand. The biggest win handed to The Game was by Meek Mill‘s own guys when they punched Beanie Sigel in the face sucker punch style.
#4 How Meek Mill turn the L’s into W’s: Apologize to Beanie Sigel Continuing with this thought process of Meek Mill giving his fans something positive to defend him with. He needs to apologize to Beanie Sigel. There are many reasons for this and many fools who only have their pride (which is only temporarily valuable if that) will say you can never apologize to another man. If Meek Mill apologizes he will actually win the battle with Beanie and take out a lot of steam out of his beef with The Game. Also, in the long run this will give him street credibility with people who really understand the codes.
–#3 How Meek Mill turn the L’s into W’s: He needs to apologize to Safaree There is a thing that I won’t get that much into now called the Principal of momentum (applied to natural world). How this applies to Meek Mill is that he has so much negative momentum going on in his life. He really needs to do his best to change it. He needs to slow down the negative snow ball that is bearing down on him and also create his own small but positive snow ball, then just let that run. Alot of the situations and a major fuel to alot of Meek Mills problems comes actually from his relationship with Nicki Minaj (when he’s not directly creating these problems himself ). Now, Meek is still the primary agent creating these problems but his relationship with Nicki seems to amplify them. His under handed actions to gain a romantic relationship with Nicki Minaj, has opened up the karmic door for him to have similar stuff done to him now.
#2 How Meek Mill turn the L’s into W’s: Stop hanging outwith negative company This should be very easy to see and also self explanatory to everyone but surprisingly it’s not. I’ve suffered from bouts of this myself in life. I can tell you from personal experience, (past and present) alot of problems will start going away when you work on yourself and also remove yourself from negative company. I won’t go through Meek Mill‘s affiliation history that would be too long and unnecessary. The recent situations between him, The Game and Beanie Sigel is enough to support my point. The Game has a history of starting or being involved in industry beefs. ‘No matter how cool hanging out with The Game is at present (or in the past), what his behavioral history and thought process shows, is that when he has a problem with you, he will bring it to song and potential rap beef.‘ So, if The Game believes something happened that did not happen, or something seriously offends him, he’s going probably going to start a rap beef.
– #1 How Meek Mill turn the L’s into W’s: Stop using Twitter and Social Media This is very obvious to everyone that is familiar with Meek Mill in any way or shape possible. From my memory I can’t think of any rapper in Hip Hop more synonymous with the famous Twitter Fingers label than Meek Mill. There is no winning for him at this point on Twitter (the way he uses it now). He has to stop having these personal, highly emotional and random exchanges with his audience. He reacts to everything he reads and or happens to him on social media. This gives people who don’t like Meek Mill the ability to attack and corner him into positions that are at best zero sum gains (normally they are lose, lose situations).
Meek Mill is in a situation where every battle he gets into results in a loss for him. The reason behind this is physiological and a bit complicated. What is not as complicated is how Meek Mill can turn these losses he’s been taking into future wins for him and his team. I’m going to break this down a bit more simple into a kinda of list. People like list and I will try to keep it that simple. If you want more context you can listen to my tired off the dome audio about this which actually came first. *By the way to understand my view points, I must first point out that I think that rap beefs are actually negative to the rapper. I was working on a series to explain and make this position more clear but I’ve been dealing with interpersonal issues (helping friend with life problems). So with that said, let’s get into how Meek Mill can start winning. #1 How Meek Mill turn the L’s into W’s: Stop using Twitter and Social Media This is very obvious to everyone that is familiar with Meek Mill in any way or Read More…
I did some audio consultation and sound effects for the youtube series “The Hip- Hop RPG“. This series created by Dom (of the DSC youtube channel) focuses on a fictional story of a time traveling Kendrick Lamar fighting Illuminati aliens. Basically the idea is to create a parody of Final Fantasy and modern day Hip-Hop. Dom was heavily influenced by Final Fantasy VII when he was young, and his podcast puts him into the world of Hip-Hop on a regular basis. Being the talented visual artist and creator he is, The Hip-Hop RPG married these two worlds together. Dom reached out to me for help with some sound effects and audio selection. I was more than glad to help. I’ve always been a big fan of his channel, and I feel he is an incredibly talented artist. He always stresses hard work and it shows in his end product.
Absolute Zero: Zero (Music Video) This is my title track form my self titled album “Zero“. This dark track sets the tone and the mood of the album. I was able to work with Dom on the music video. Its a very simple concept, but I really enjoy the way this came out. I’m not an visual artist, but it always amazes me the what people can draw. [Verse 1: Zero] Absolute Zero, no metaphors this time. I’m a absolute zero Ever met a nigga who this lame deranged insane with brains and pain at the same time Never knew another mother fucker who is this real Standing out like a skinhead up in Is-rael All time loser jobber of the year niggas saying I’m lame and bitches saying I’m queer It’s the loser saying fuck you if you don’t know Pro bono might just teach a lesson to you broke hoes Catch me on the low filming low budget pornos Not gay for the green might fuck bro I don’t give a fuck though even if you hate me Middle finger to the deity that make me Made me maybe nigga you crazy Get in line lynch mob Read More…

Music Thoughts : Frank Ocean is Back But Will He Have The Same Reach Music Thoughts: Is Frank Ocean still the man, he had a lot of steam off Odd Future, help from major star power like Jay Z, Beyonce, etc, and the media misunderstanding him by stating he was the first openly gay rapper ((???))-So with all of that will Frank Ocean have the same reach Rj Knight Context Frank Ocean is an R & B singer who raps. His music is very lyrical, which if viewed from a rapper perspective would be very impressive. His work ethic has seeming dimmed somewhat since his last project. Which showcases some contrast to the work ethic of his peers and co-workers, Kanye West and Jay Z. This has prompted Absolute Zero to ask a very serious question about Frank Ocean‘s ability to sell. Productive momentum and positive externalities are two things that while may not have a direct 1 to 1 relation(every time), indeed do still have relation. What this statement means can be conveyed through contextual association. Frank Ocean has been a work horse in the music industry behind the Read More…
