JAY-Z continues to support Meek Mill, following up his Facebook post decrying the stiff sentence for his Roc Nation artist with an onstage speech during a 4:44 tour stop in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday (November 7).
“I’ve gotta say something about a young man by the name of Meek Mill,” he told the American Airlines Center crowd. “He caught a charge when he was, like, 19. He’s 30 now, he’s been on probation 11 years. Fucking 11 years. Probation — 11 years. Judge [gave him] two to four years because he got arrested for being on a bike and popping a fucking wheelie.”
He paused, and then delivered a line from his “The Story Of O.J.” track off 4:44, saying, “Still nigga.”
The song is about the challenges black people face living in a racist system and society.
Meek Mill was hit with two to four years of prison time after a Philadelphia judge deemed him to have violated his probation this week. The sentence led to many of Meek’s fellow artists in the Hip Hop community sending messages of support.
JAY-Z was one of the first artists to react, posting a message that called the sentence “unjust and heavy handed.”
You don’t have rights unless you have an army. In this corporation; because it not a country, Europeans believe might is right. That’s why they invest in “defense” and prisons instead of education, nutrition and or spirituality. They know there foul and project the fear they feel on us via news and movies which are also messages! Most of us are nothing for than spoiled slaves. Freedom is an illusion on this land. They locked him up for nothing! They can take you child away too and what can you do to stop them? But you think because you can buy Jordans, or get online or eat what you want your free, this is the land of the free because you can buy whatever you want and give a speech or march. 99% Of us couldn’t define freedom if it depended on our freedom. Hold ya head Meek!
PREACH!
Wow. Light the incense and hug a tree aready, granola breath motherfuckers. This idiot said “Jehova the creator.” Hahaha. You are all delusional. Dude is a piece of shit, deadbeat, scumbag loser. Period. A garbage Rapper. How do you do 11 years of probation for charges that WERE DROPPED? Simple. Do a whole lot of STUPID SHIT! No system or “whitey himself” have anything to do with that. You’re all a bunch of delusional Dindus.
The name of this industry is sheer business as usual . The system of music gives the man whatever hue he or she may be and say you are above the law. The cloud becomes foggy. Once you acquire a case which embarrass the label or brands .the only one left to pick you up and redeem you is JEHOVAH the creator. BLessings.
Jay-Z shot his brother & got no jail time, Meek popped a wheelie & is getting jail time.. Things are just evening themselves out Shawn, chill…..
You are so dumb if you think this is really about wheelies. Smarten up fool, Meek is a piece of garbage.
You are so dumb if you think my comment was really about wheelies.. Your mind is garbage.
That just means he’s had 11 years to stop breaking the law and violating his probation. It’s not that hard especially when you are rich.
Jay sounds dumb right now, how you go from making a great album to being dumb like this Meek was given so many chances but nah he chose crime
He’s been on probation 11 years, that just shows how fucking dumb he is. He’s had 11 years worth of chances and he keeps living like a low life. Zero sympathy, there is no conspiracy here, only a moron who can’t stay out of trouble. He is not entitled to special treatment, he is a lowlife scum bag and he’s finally being held accountable after all the chances he blew. You trashbag hoodrat lowlives.
Instead of crying about his artist and his artist’s team being complete fuckups he should’ve told people to go out and vote in the local elections that can actually bring about change….but nah this is about his dumbass investment/artist
im from australia so i dont know much about your legal system..but how the fvck do you get 11 years probation???
Meek Millz has been given more chances than the average black man. Sit this one down Jigga.
This idiot has been given multiple chances to change up his act, and he didn’t. I hope he spends 10 years in jail…
