Meek Mill Denounces ‘Bubble Gum’ Rap, Elevates an Organic, Independent Push

He is leveraging independent releases to press a case for street‑rooted music over marketing polish.

Overview

  • Posting on X, Meek Mill argued that “bubble gum” rap won’t last when “organic” music hits the streets and said songs with no meaning won’t get listeners’ attention.
  • His comments follow the November 14 release of Indie Pack (Vol. 01), a four-track EP issued under his Dream Chasers imprint featuring Fridayy on “4th of July.”
  • Hip-Hop Wired reports that online feedback to the EP has been positive and that a snippet purporting to be the intro for a possible Vol. 2 is circulating.
  • AllHipHop frames his critique within a long-standing stance on authenticity rooted in his Philadelphia battle-rap background.
  • Hip-Hop Wired notes he is preparing for a December 5 “Meek Mill and Friends” show at Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena.
