’11 Best Mixtapes: #1 Meek Mill Dream Chasers

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.

  4. Smoken joe says:

    Lmfaooooooo Wow! Really? This has to be a joke.

  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:

    OK SORRY BUT LIVE LOVE ASAP WAS BETTER THAN THIS

  8. JETS says:

    what a joke… this bamma voice SUCKS

  9. ridalen says:

    it can be debated if it was the best tape overall but it aint no doubt he was rookie of the year…..work ethic over everything.

  10. Busby says:

    Politics as usual…smh

  11. WHAT?!

    So we gonna pretend that SECTION 80 never came out….

  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:

    Yall are freakin dumb datpiff had meeks tape the second best rap tape of the year and asap rocky tape wasn’t even downloaded half as much as much as meeks was it doesn’t even have 150,000 downloads meeks has 400,000 so obviously everyone else does not love asap as much as yall do

  29. Taheim says:

    Wait has everyone forgot about SORRY 4 THE WAIT!!!

  30. Politickin P says:

    Are you serious meek doesn’t even have a top 10 mix tape of 2011. R4Eva, Section80, Cold Day in Hell, 11.1.11, Mood Muzik 4, Real is Back, ASAPRocky, all are way better projects then dream chasers

  31. juliagg says:

    and im talking about on dat piff site im pretty sure meek has a million plus downloads more than asap on other mixtape sites too

  32. That Aint It says:

    BULL FUCKIN SHIT

  33. Protest says:

    and LiveLoveA$AP is garbage. Not understanding all the love for that shit.

  34. That Aint It says:

  35. Charlie 163 says:

  44. RealHipHopBack says:

    MOOD MUSIK 4? THE SOUL TAPE? SECTION 80? DID THESE NOT COME OUT? AND WHYS 50 BEHIND 2CHAINZ?
    FUCK THIS LIST

  45. Man says:

    If you dont like this get your own website leave this one and make your own fucking list. Quit fucking complaining like a bitch. Its his opinions and his list he could put what he wants.

  46. FLATLINE says:

    Wtf? No COLD CORNER 2???? The staff @RapRadar is on some motherfucking bullshit, you motherfuckers don’t know shit about music (Yup, I Larry Merchanted that ass lol) Yelawolf’s wack ass album is number one on your most underrated album list, and now COLD CORNER 2 which was clearly the best mixtape effort all year DOESN’T EVEN CHART!? Give me a fucking break lol you dudes don’t know shit about music.

  47. Big LG says:

    Is YN head of MMG advertising or something??

  48. O says:

    Is this serious? No Elmatic? Pabst & Jazz?

  49. KEEP ON HATING says:

    lmao someone with a brain cell read these comments. Are you all really that illiterate?

  50. Follow me at Kingsleezy says:

    Where is Kendrick Lamar’s Section 8? Where is Lil B’s Angels Exodus? Where is Clams Casino? Why is Big Krit so low? And why the fuck is 2 Chainz so high?!

  51. Fuckoutchea says:

    You niggas are fuckin retarded, Section 80 was a digital ALBUM, he charged for it but you niggas just pirated it. Meek’s mixtape is great and anyone who says different didn’t listen to it all the way through. I’m not sayin it deserves the number one spot but it was definately one of the best tapes of the year.

  52. nzo says:

    TONY STORY OFF THIS MIXTAPE IS IN MY TOP 5 TRACKS OF THE YEAR LAST YEAR THO

  53. Kemosabi says:

    Can’t make everyone agree but I get this selection. Where’s section .80 at? 8 doobies to the face…

  54. Mauri says:

    Section.80? The S.O.U.L. Tape? This list is ass backwards.

  56. Jay says:

    Really??? Y’all are really on MMG’s payroll Smh

  57. TheyKnow says:

    I can understand Section.80 not being on the list because its technically an album.
    Where is LiveLoveASAP?

  58. Uallhategetalife says:

    Obviously you all are oblivious and dont follow hip hop enough to have a valid opinion on this list. Yes it is questionable but meek deserves the #1 spot. For everyone screaming for Kendrick lamar section 80 to be on here…… You stupid coooons that was a cd … You know…. The type of disc you buy…. In a store… Smh I’m done with y’all

  59. Skip Dillenger says:

    Where is COVERT COUP?!!! FTW!!!

  60. KoldCase says:

    section.80 wasnt a mixtape

    it was amazingly dope

    but i love dreamchasers

    friend of the people???

  61. me too says:

    yes he had the best tape this year

  62. shyaam simpson says:

  67. Drew says:

    Why was fab not on the list with tnc3 thT was a great lyrical mix tape!

  68. sfx36 says:

    Kendrick Lamar’s Section 8 OR Big Krit SHOULD’VE BEEN NUMBER 1 EASILY….. BUT NAW THIS WHACK ASS NIGGA MEEK MILL….. WTF? HOW?

  69. INAVATOR says:

    fab soul tape was better then anything on here

  70. Real Deal says:

    Section.80 wasn’t a mixtape. Maybe you niggas need to actually pay for you’re music because if you’re not supporting the artists, then you shouldn’t even have an opinion. K.R.I.T. should be #1. And A$AP Rocky is garbage. Idk why niggas keep bringing him up.

  71. realfan says:

    if any of you were real k dot fans, ud know that section80 is an album not a mixtape smh…but im wit the asap talk for sure

  72. WindyCityg72 says:
