    08

    Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say

    Oh, I grew up, I screw up a oz of crack

    Block noteTreats the target's persona as fabricated

    TargetKendrick Lamar

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Hundred shots, aim straight at your snap cap,” Meek Mill says Kendrick Lamar's public story or image is false rather than a reliable account of who the target is. Why it was said: The track answers Kendrick Lamar's ‘Control’ verse and its challenge to prominent peers. Meek treats the callout as an invitation to compete while using Philadelphia identity and direct comparisons to reject Kendrick's attempted authority over New York and the wider field. Once the persona is presented as invented, the boasts and accusations built on it become easier for listeners to dismiss.

    ContextThe track answers Kendrick Lamar's ‘Control’ verse and its challenge to prominent peers. Meek treats the callout as an invitation to compete while using Philadelphia identity and direct comparisons to reject Kendrick's attempted authority over New York and the wider field.
