Rapper Meek Mill Calls For Criminal Justice Reform | NBC News

[@206legend3]

This was big of him... Shows growth

[@thatguyj4834]

YUP!

[@kingrazmir4494]

I love how artists use their platform to shed light on the justice issues

[@BoredFlyer]

King Razmir lol step out the studio making album that tells kids to sell drugs. Than to his 5 o’clock news briefing on the justice system. Lmao 🤣

[@faizolmai5844]

I Really Do It 😂😂

[@kidwitdaflow8876]

I Really Do It ... name one song he’s telling kids to sell drugs?? 🤔

[@t.y.6640]

Kid wit da flow He doesn't tell them to but he definitely does glorify selling drugs. For instance, "I never had a job, you know I had to sell yay (yayo/cocaine)" which is a line from his song I'm A Boss.

[@kidwitdaflow8876]

Taliyah McKenzie I hear you on that..... but hip hop has always been a reflection of our reality! It’s been our voice to tell not only the Positive, but also the Negative things some had to do/go thru.

[@camillenicole4837]

We’re long overdue for criminal justice reform #FightForReform

[@sergiodavis20]

Camille Nicole Facts the judicial system is so outdated!

[@shadowunleashed23]

We need a criminal record reset after 5 years of being clean. Fr fr it affects ppls lives ppl can’t get jobs ppl can’t travel with a criminal record so they go commit crimes to survive! If there was a criminal record reset of all misdeameanors and some felonies than after 5ish years people will actually be forced to be good and once those years are finished they’ll get a career job etc

#FightForReform

[@tonyhndrxx1527]

It's bad enough being Black in America. It's even worse when the police target your life and freedom. Also keeping you trapped in the system. Plus they hate to see a Black person that came from nothing, make wins out of losses. To make a long story short

[@jayduecesjaydueces1148]

Tony Hndrxx Exactly, well said bra

[@pjlaveus3964]

Thank god!!!! Meeks one of the realest

[@steelogreen5863]

Meek about to drop a conscience album🔥🔥🔥

[@summoofit4874]

Stetson White with his aggressive style it could really work

[@steelogreen5863]

#FightForReform

[@summoofit4874]

I don't think you should fight for reform he should just continue to bring light to these issues

[@MikeJones-bx7bk]

+ARTICAL FOUNDATION Uh What's the difference I'm confused and I hate when people tell people what they should do smh

[@KNukzzz]

His last album was conscience

[@loneWolf-vm3jy]

He speaks very well.

[@isabelsimpson-kirsch9733]

lone Wolf were u expecting him not to??? 🤔

[@chasefithian1572]

Isabel Simpson-Kirsch right. If u actually listen to his music you'd know how well spoken he is

[@renellwiggins2077]

baddogonline You still trolling?😂😂 Meek making your life Miserable huh?😛😎😂

[@jongrannyc3119]

I wish him well. Stay strong. God Bless. You can do it my husband did got out and stayed out. Much love be strong

[@spirit_007]

Isabel Simpson-Kirsch that’s what I was thinking

[@warcloudwu5698]

I'm no fan of these new kids in rap no fan of Meek but he is the last real hood dudes . Very impressed with what Meek just said .....

[@christianclarke2113]

You can hear how passionate Meek is about this issue, that’s why he’s not reading off a card, he’s just speaking freely. Salute Meek!

[@dipmeingloss]

Meek is so real, he has such a sweet & giving heart.💯this man is growing & learning from his past mistakes. a man that can take responsibility for his actions is a man of true integrity.💓having a opioid addiction has to be rough most people don't make it out alive...

[@jayduecesjaydueces1148]

Royalty Bomb Or even admitting to having an additiction. By the way, I subbed sub back

[@dipmeingloss]

jaydueces jaydueces i subbed you back. lol

[@ST-kr7hz]

So good to see Meek mature and grow into the man he is today. Hearing him talk about recovery and prison reform is inspiring

[@eastvandal6049]

Meek will become a legend if he keeps making them street tracks.

[@iAmIgwe]

he became a legend to me since his mixtape days

[@factzz2163]

Meek 🔥🔥🔥

[@ilikewaffles889]

[@osaigbokanjohnOsaigbokan]

Lol

[@snipedotgenius]

This is why I like this guy

[@junitocrespo1641]

Meek, I was sentenced to 6-30yrs in 1991. We are in 2018 and I still owe 3. Been on parole for over 17 and had to suffer from being sent back. I’m here if you need more back with this issue. Thanks for your voice my bro. 💯

[@deloresbello7643]

Meek is the best rapper after tupac

[@harryveras7486]

Please put the weed down .

[@jordanadam4768]

[@JohnMoore-op7nj]

[@freewilly5240]

I really hope your music reflects on what you're talking about right now time will tell

[@tigergee1288]

It does

[@keithfuller348]

Listen to his last album where you've been

[@tlords9to511]

Wins and losses go listen and come bak and tell us Wut u think 😂

[@mickelsmickle8668]

FREE WILLY true words but are the people ready for positive change

[@demetriusshuler1391]

Brandon Staggers you're absolutely right...

[@gt-gu7rb]

I live in Philly and what most people don't know about this is Meek has been on probation for over ten years since he was 19. The slightest think can get your probation revoked. That's a lot of pressure and this needs to be reevaluated. I work in the field I see it every day.

[@Gio_-mw3uu]

I love his honesty!

[@DBrezzy219]

The Realest💯🤘

[@iziahdking]

Meek!!!! 💪💪💪💪

[@michaelabrakson2919]

Well said. The technical violations are whats wrong with probation. Its like your atomatically guilty. It shouldn't be a violation unless your convicted. Nor should you have to sit in jail untill time to face a judge.

[@testarling1]

Meekkkkkkkkk 💜💜💜

[@none6936]

I think Trump tweeted the exact same thing, but about himself. lol

[@laurasmith9881]

SO MANY WOLFS,, TRUMP IS MINISTRATION HAVE TAKEN DOWN SO MANY OF THEM! WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF BULLETS

[@princeobichukwu2576]

Meek Mill so many supported you so don't disappoint us. You have a lot to offer listening to you speak

[@Dayly_Dose]

Meek Luther King

[@walid4573]

drug addicts need help not prison time

[@Danyella123]

Cant "fight for reform" if nobody is willing to sit down with lawmakers to discuss the issues. Smh

[@youngrighteous699]

Good for Meek

[@RawCultureReport]

Meek Luther king

[@DorseysResource]

I definitely agree just for probation violations is not right justice reform is necessary.

[@jesusislord8075]

Great job meek mill proud of you brother for taking a stance against the corrupt system god bless bro

[@Starmaker908]

Support the real and not the phony...-TuPac-Standing ovation when I wrote this...Love You Meek..

[@WestsideMob]

RESPECT MEEK USING YOUR VOICE TO EMPOWER AND EDUCATE THE PEOPLE

[@jason96]

Meek has evolved so much over the years

[@mikelovin699]

Vote 4 Meek Mills 🇺🇸👍🏿 #MeekMillsForPresident2020

[@scorp1566]

I say let's also do a RAP reform. Stop saying the N word in the music. Stop calling women the B word. Stop the reference of drug sales and violence. Really stand up and be better examples all around.

[@scorp1566]

So saying the N word and degrading women as a way to express they "experience"? Don't you think there's something wrong with that? Btw I don't need fox to tell me about the "experience". Lived it 14 yrs old in 1992. This rapper wasn't even learning his ABC's to even know about what hood life about.

[@scorp1566]

I agree.

[@2ravioli392]

Why do I feel like this is a scene from the boondocks 😁

[@realtalk9854]

[@HUSTLEKIDD718]

Change has come

[@davidjordan7349]

Good thing u doing meek..stay tru brother

[@kerizmaent]

Meek about to turn into a activist. I can see it. He might even run for something. God will change people hearts and directions. I see you Meek. U got my support all day

[@GuitarZombie]

What about all the other convicts? we should hear them also

[@MustWatchTV]

Great job Meek!

[@ericpabon2458]

i do like the laws in this country, its strong laws, but like, if you defend yourself, youre gonna get arrested too. some things dont make sense

[@Shynetymetv]

Thinks be happening everyday that deserves more attention but they just decide to fight when they see u rising fight the fight and rise above all obstacles

[@andrewrocha9833]

preach the truth Meek lookin forward to hear the spitfire you got cookin

[@MB3CREWTV]

much respect my g. very well spoken. hold it down

[@songwritersgalore]

Happy Birthday Meek!!!

[@christinap9771]

Well said

[@johnsonboy2329]

Looking forward to some conscious music from my guy🔥🔥🔥

[@MegaPsycho84]

Thank God he is out. Let’s help these young men and women out, who are trapped in the system.

[@donbrassco301]

That Reco law suck😔

[@TheLeslieMichelle]

There does need to be criminal justice reform laws in place. Now the two black men in that Starbucks case could still have those technical violations on their records even if it was the first arrest and they were falsely arrested. And he's right, it isn't fair.

[@toohoney8674]

I agree on many accounts

[@Easycooking422]

Meek talk very intelligent

[@dmensah6631]

Thank God almighty

[@myrosaparksmoment]

This is great!!!!

[@ItsAllLuv]

He's soundin alot more humble now a days, especially cuz of the fact that he was thankn God..but the crazy thing is, soon as u hear his music its STILL totally contrary 2 how he acts publicly smh Meek still aint Meek so ill keep him in prayer. Help us all Lord!

[@danpstapleton1257]

So now Meek's gonna run for office BMAC news

[@ceegee924]

Respect.

[@arnoldles858]

God bless Meek. Lord has a plan for you.

[@kaylakelly1914]

If he say uhh again

[@lonewolfnh89]

look how well he speaks when he's off the drugs.

[@bigdoglastcall3423]

the same in michigan

[@ericanicole9202]

meek mill for President

[@badmanwizi7032]

What y'all should know is that Meek Mill is not taking these initiatives by himself, he's got a bunch of officers that got his back but the truth of the matter is, he is being used as a voice for an entire community.

[@akinfolarinakinwande2962]

many people who had it worse avoided crime so it is not you that should be face of reform

[@RobynDonLimitless]

Big up Meek
