Meek Mill talks new album, feuds and film endeavors
ATLANTA (AP) — Meek Mill faced scrutiny during his highly-publicized rap feud with Drake and relationship with former girlfriend Nicki Minaj.
[...] the Philadelphia-bred rapper doesn't view it that way, saying there were other pressing issues in his life he considers as losses — from the death of close friends to a probation violation that landed him three months in house arrest last year.
While wearing a gold pendant in remembrance of the late rapper and protege Lil Snupe, who was shot dead in 2013, Mill spoke with The Associated Press about his new album "Wins & Losses," which comes out Friday.
What compelled you to name your album "Wins and Losses"?
[...] I'm in million-dollar studios, making a lot of money being able to feed my family and take them out a crazy environment, still being able to wake up on my own time and do things how I want to do it.
What do you want people to take away from it?
In one video, we got young kids with guns with KKK masks on, basically saying we killing our own.
What run-ins have you experienced with the law that youngsters can relate to?
Mill: I was 18 and got beat up by a cop and almost killed by cops.
The cops are in a dangerous neighborhood thinking everybody else in the neighborhood is dangerous or everybody in the hood is killers.
Me and my friends had a party at that spot that night, so that's somewhere we were supposed to be going.
