    That was really well made pop rap album, but it didn't brought to the table ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING. It started off really strong with an epic song witch angelic choir in the background (Lord Knows) but it fell off pretty fast with "club.banger.ft.Future.nr.77" and "club.banger.ft.Chris.Brown.nr.144". And I hate to say, that all these trap influenced tracks (nr.'s 7,8,10,11 on the track list)That was really well made pop rap album, but it didn't brought to the table ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.

And I hate to say, that all these trap influenced tracks (nr.'s 7,8,10,11 on the track list) felt pretty dated. In 2012 this could be dope, but now it's just not interesting at all. Well, "R.I.C.O" was an awesome track, but totally dominated by Drake (even beat seemed like it was made for Graham), Rick Ross verse on "Been That" was kinda nice, and Nicki's guest appearances were decent too (but she definitely better raps than sings), Chris Brown was Chris Brown- nothing much more to say, and The Weekend's hook was pretty typical for him (Diddy and future didn't amaze me). Meek Mill was pretty ok by himself, his kinda over dramatic flow made him feel really hungry ("The Thrillest"(!!!)), but nothing he said was amazing.Overall, it was nicely done album, but it was kinda dated and generic.… Expand

    This is the first album from Meek Mill I listen to its entirerty, and I was surprised at how good it was. Some tracks were forgetful, but never bad, and the guest apperances from Nikki Minaj and Chris Brown are not bad at all, while The Weekend and Future's apperances are great. Some hip-Hop cliches and lack of innovations and some not-so solid tracks keep it from being great, but it isThis is the first album from Meek Mill I listen to its entirerty, and I was surprised at how good it was.

Some hip-Hop cliches and lack of innovations and some not-so solid tracks keep it from being great, but it is still worth a listen, and if you're a fan of hip-hop, it won't dissapoint

    3/10 only because of Drake's featuring and first track on this album. I didn't expect too much from Meek Mill and it's like I thought. It's forgettable album. Collapse

DWMTM is definitely more eemotionally driven than Dreams and Nightmares with Cold Heart and The trillest. The turn up is a bit disappointing with Ambitionz, Check and a song with Rick Ross, with Classic being a bit lazy.Overally DWMTM is better than Dreams and nightmares, a very good album and one of the best rap albums in 2015.… Expand

    In most cases, going to jail **** a rapper's career up... For Meek, that wasn't the case... He had so much of hunger from jail that he put it in this album and he used it to freestyle some good tracks on this album, better than his last album where he wrote his lyrics... His lyrics are hardcore but the Nicki Minaj collaborations bring the album down due to those tracks being corny... TheIn most cases, going to jail **** a rapper's career up...

    Almost every song has an appearance, which means a) people want to jump on his tracks .....b) he doesn't have enough to say on his own. But, with all the appearances he made on other's tracks, his album was anticipated. Listening to it, I can't say it amazing, or that I like all the tracks. As a matter of fact, many of the tracks have the same BPM-evidence he has found his niche. butAlmost every song has an appearance, which means a) people want to jump on his tracks .....b) he doesn't have enough to say on his own.

    Yh it had some good songs like Jump out the face (future is killing it with his features this year although not with his solo stuff) and the opener but a large chunk of the album is kind of hard to get through. Meek should shut the **** up with that **** scream rap. Swizz beats should just shut the **** up in general. Nicki minaj should **** off for making meek do those two songs aboutYh it had some good songs like Jump out the face (future is killing it with his features this year although not with his solo stuff) and the opener but a large chunk of the album is kind of hard to get through.

Only song I'm coming back to is R.I.C.O which feels more like a drake song.… Expand

    Meek mill has some decent cuts. But his ability to use his flow and construct more interesting flows are limiting to his ability to create better songs.

    With his first album being a true graduation from battle rap and mix tape releases it was arguably sloppy. Production on his first album with exception of the intro and amen was pretty all over the place. Meek Mill didn't have to prove he was a great rapper, he had to prove he could do more than battle rap and make "bangers" which is done by being an artist.

Production on his first album with exception of the intro and amen was pretty all over the place. Meek Mill didn't have to prove he was a great rapper, he had to prove he could do more than battle rap and make "bangers" which is done by being an artist. DWMTM is his first album that gives a palatable Meek Mill to everyone. It has everything to do with musical maturity and growth. Lyricism that doesn't have to be lashing or particularly sharp, but still is, and over instrumentals everyone can agree are great. Meek Mill set out to make a musically inclined and masterful work that exercises why we should like him, and he did exactly that. Is this a 10 stacked against all the music thats been released? No, probably an 8.5-9. But relevant to D&N this is a 10+, and for the same guy who was selling crack and rapping on the corner to get into a studio after a stint in jail and focus the way he did it deserves that 10.… Expand

    There's some soul here, but making it through an entire album of such an average rapper like Meek is. a challenge. There's some decent cuts and some decent features, but it's just an average album through and through.

    Probably his best work. Lotta underrated songs. People who call this album bad are just contrarians tryna sound smart.

    The record serves up plenty of peak mixtape Meek.

    His best moments are scary in a different way: "In my city we talk heavy and die young," he raps on "The Trillest." It's a message that booms out louder than life.

    In the end, the street-worthy effort seems more influenced by Maybach Music than Minaj, as it forsakes the paparazzi and gossip pages for the better and continues on the path first laid out on the man's mixtapes.
