If I had to guess, knowing nothing about Philly, I would bet that he’s standing on 18th Street - the same street he grew up on as a young man that is now immortalized in baguette diamonds around his neck. From there we catch glimpses of Meek in the club, in the Rolls Royce on the way to the private airport, on the private jet, in the private foreigns-only garage, and finally in London.
Meek mill dreamchasers intro full#
The video for “Intro (Hate On Me)” visually shows us just how far Meek has come, once again standing on his native Philadelphia streets, but this time with a neck full of diamonds and presidential-level security detail. “Intro (Hate On Me)” is a great example of how Meek has developed his signature sound in recent years - still sounding like himself but adding new elements like melodies and a more free-flowing cadence that has each bar competing for sunlight as the last one bleeds into the next. The ominous, string-led production is actually a sample of Nas & Diddy’s iconic collaboration, “Hate Me Now” released in 1999 - updated for 2021 to keep up with Meek’s insane pace and creating the space for him to rapidly cycle through a variety of impressive flows. “Intro (Hate On Me)” is everything we’ve come to expect from a Meek Mill intro - from its dramatic production to Meek’s signature, unrelenting flow - he somehow manages to come with that same “Dreams & Nightmares” energy from nearly a decade ago.
His fifth studio album and first since the 2018 release of ‘Championships’ following his widely publicized release from jail and subsequent rise into the stratosphere since then - ‘Expensive Pain’ marks a big moment for the beloved North Philly artist. On Friday, Meek Mill released his new album, ‘Expensive Pain’ - along with the video for yet another soon-to-be iconic album intro track, “Intro (Hate On Me)” - which has already surpassed 2.3M views in its first weekend.
