’11 Best Mixtapes: #1 Meek Mill Dream Chasers

Wednesday, January 11 2012 6:32 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Album Reviews, Blog

When Meek signed to Maybach Music Group early last year, he proclaimed his goal to be the rap game’s undisputed rookie of the year. With two hits “Tupac Back” and “Ima Boss” locking the streets down, Meek proved he can hang with the best of them on his latest street collection. On this DJ Drama-hosted mixtape, Meek dropped numerous dope freestyles including his version of Future’s “Tony Montana” and probably the best “Niggas In Paris” take to date. Meek even displayed his art of storytelling on the brilliant “Tony Story”. Also with no days off, he put in that overtime flow on “Work” with Rozay and kept the parties all over going with “House Party” which was aided by his fellow Philly native Young Chris. Mill’s debut album is coming this year, but knowing his work ethic, we’ll see more free music. Now that’s a rap fan’s dream.

  5. Yung Silv says:

    im a meek fan but this tape was below every tape on this list sans LEP bogus boys . . . and ASAP rocky should’ve been on here instead of that . . . . big k.r.i.t. should’ve been #1

  6. FlocKaveLLi says:

    I KNOWWWWW YOU DIDN’T JUST DISS ASAP ROCKY!!!! LIVELOVEASAP DESERVES TO BE NUMBER ONE LET ALONE ON THE LIST!! SMDH

  7. Santa says:

  8. JETS says:

  10. Busby says:

    Politics as usual…smh

  11. WHAT?!

  12. Gambino says:

    live love asap was a street album

  13. FlocKaveLLi says:

    WORST LIST OF MIXTAPES I’VE SEEN HERE. JUST STRAIGHT ASS.

  14. Mankind says:

    lol section.80 and live love asap was 10 times better then the top 2 and i am a fan of meek mill. i still listen to section.80 and live love asap but i stopped listening to dream chasers.

  15. dallascowboys2013sbchamps says:

    i kinda agree because meek tape had radio hita but 2 chainz shouldnt be on this list because hes better off on features but either soul tape or asap tape shoulda been second mr elliott

  16. dallascowboys2013sbchamps says:

    Yo i like Asap but hes way overrated he cant rap anybody can do what he does im not a huge Meek Fan he still has to prove to me that he can drop a hot album but he deserves the top spot so all yall haters never even listen to his tape i did and i still do after almost 5 months thats rare off a mixtape

  17. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    I see 2011 was a bad year for Mixtapes.

  18. Gambino says:

    the soul tape, best day ever, Every play is crucial, purp and patron, covert coup, peanut butter and swelly, royal flush 2 all shoulda been on this list

  19. i’ve never agreed with YN before this. And this will probably be the only time.

    Meek is a beast.

  20. juliagg says:

    MEEK DESERVES IT I JUST THINK KRIT COULD OF BEEN A LITTLE BIT HIGHER BUT ITS WATEVER

  21. DC Sharpshooter says:

    Mixtape of the year tho? I honestly gotta give that to SNOW GO! Real is Back ran the summer I walked in Josphienes in DC and they played 5 songs off that mixtape alone. 5 Songs from 1 mixtape? Who else gets love like that in the streets in the club honestly?

  22. Protest says:

    No Section 80? I think im done with this site. Gotta find a new hip hop blog. Anybody know any better rap blog sites?

  23. Black thought says:

    You guys must have gotten paid very well my friends…Cha ching!!! All I have to say.

  24. juniorpesos says:

    @mankind section 80 wasnt a mixtape u idiot so its obvious that u didnt pay for it if it was that good and almost the entire meek tape can be played at a club none of kendricks songs can be played at a club i think he got number 1 right

  25. tillfully speaking says:

    ya dumb ass niggas dont undderstand section.80 aint a mixtape, its an album we were supposed to be paying for it but niggas made links for it after the itunes drop. right Big Homie? i bet we see that shit on a list tommorow or friday. calm the fuck down

  26. KEEP ON HATING says:

    Rap Radar got this right. This guy has the most potential in the game. Hes got history and flows that are unmatched.

  27. Taylor Gang says:

    Lil B – Gold House > This shit

  28. juliagg says:

  29. Taheim says:
