Meek Mill – “Ya’ll Don’t Hear Me Tho (freestyle)”
Meek Mill Continues His 2011 Takeover With “Y’all Don’t Hear Me Tho” Freestyle
Philadelphia’s own Meek Mill is making it clear that he isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Today, he releases the official music video for his freestyle over Fabolous’ hit track, “Y’all Don’t Hear Me Tho.” With his momentum at an all-time high, Meek continues to flood the streets with new music, proving why he is one of the hottest rappers in the game right now.
Meek Mill’s Rise in 2011
The year 2011 has been transformative for Meek Mill. It all started when he signed with Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group (MMG) alongside Wale. Shortly after, a bidding war ensued over MMG’s label home, with initial reports suggesting a Cash Money deal. However, Ross ultimately secured a joint venture with Warner Bros. Records, further solidifying MMG’s position in the industry.
Since then, Meek has been relentless. In April, he released “I Want It All” featuring NBA star Lou Williams. He followed up with “100 Hunnit” alongside Wale and played a major role in MMG’s debut compilation album, Self Made, Vol. 1. His breakout single, “Tupac Back,” featuring Rick Ross, quickly became an anthem, inspiring freestyles from Yo Gotti, Jadakiss, Maino, and Joell Ortiz. This record officially put Meek Mill on the mainstream radar, proving he was more than just a mixtape rapper.
Not stopping there, Meek dropped another street anthem, “Ima Boss,” also featuring Ross, which quickly became one of the biggest records of the summer. Additional MMG releases like “Pacman” by Pill and “Play Your Part” with Wale further showcased Meek’s versatility. Outside of MMG, he’s been collaborating with artists like Young Chris, Freeway, and Ace Hood, continuing to build his name in the rap game.
Freestyling Over Fabolous’ Hit Record
Fabolous, a veteran in the game, has been making his own waves in 2011 as he preps for Loso’s Way 2. His hit single “You Be Killin’ Em” has been one of the highlights of his recent work. However, “Y’all Don’t Hear Me Tho,” is the street anthem. As a result, the song’s success led Meek Mill to jump on the instrumental. After initially releasing the freestyle, Meek has now delivered an official video to accompany the track.
The freestyle is set to appear on Meek’s highly anticipated upcoming mixtape, Dreamchasers, which is scheduled for release next month. Dreamchasers is expected to further solidify Meek’s place as one of hip-hop’s rising stars and one of MMG’s most valuable assets.
Breaking Down Meek Mill’s “Y’all Don’t Hear Me Tho” Freestyle
Meek Mill doesn’t hold back on this freestyle, delivering high-energy bars that showcase his signature aggressive flow and vivid storytelling. He sets the tone from the very beginning:
“I’m from a city where the skinny niggas ride / With a Semi .45, make the biggest niggas fold up, roll up”
Meek paints a picture of Philadelphia’s streets, describing the dangers and realities of his environment. His ability to weave personal experiences into his bars makes his music relatable and authentic.
He continues with lines about his hustle and rise in the rap game:
“Started with a dollar, to a half a ticket / And I just signed my deal today for all you rapping niggas”
This references his come-up, emphasizing how far he’s come from his mixtape days to securing a major deal with MMG. His success is no accident—Meek has put in years of work, grinding his way to the top.
Towards the end of the track, he shifts focus to the consequences of the street life:
“Used to be with 50 niggas, 20 of ’em got murked / 20 of them turned pussy, the other 10 put in work”
This is Meek’s reality check for anyone glamorizing the streets. He highlights the real dangers that come with the lifestyle, reinforcing the idea that only a few make it out.
