I don't like a girl on social media, when you have an open inbox, answering questions from dudes left and right, every day. What's the point? It's like having your number all out.
Meek Mill
I detest a female who is constantly engaging with fellows on social media, responding to messages without pause. What purpose does it serve? It's like freely distributing her contact information.

Work harder than anybody you've ever seen. That's what I believe.
Meek Mill
Strive more diligently than any you have ever encountered. This is my philosophy.

Just build your brand from day one, man. Your brand is your name, basically. A lot of people don't know that they need to build their brand, your brand is what keeps you moving.

Start cultivating your reputation from the beginning, friend. Your reputation is a reflection of yourself; many people don't realize that they need to develop their reputations as it is what will help them progress.

If you don't have your friends and your family, what do you really have? You can have all the money in the world, but with no friends and no family, it's no good.

I think it's way harder when you have success, 'cause people tend to not treat you the same or look at you the same because they see the success or the money you make.
Meek Mill
I believe it is more difficult to maintain relationships when you are successful as others may become envious of your accomplishments or wealth.
15.
I work hard. I focus on myself and putting food on my dinner table before anything else. I don't worry about other artists. Worrying about the next person in a negative way is the wrong way to be.
Meek Mill
I toil diligently. I prioritize my needs and providing sustenance before anything else. I pay no heed to other creators. Obsessing over the well-being of others in a destructive manner is not the correct attitude to have.

Philly gave me my ambition and drive to get more. It's a reminder to stay on top of my game. That's not a place I want to go back to.

20.
My homies used to call me ' ions,' and at the time I didn't have no millions, so I ain't really want to be called 'Millions,' so I just shortened it down to . ' i,' my friends used to call me.
Meek Mill
My buddies used to refer to me as ' ions,' and at that point I had no abundance, so I didn't really want to be called 'Abundance,' so I just abbreviated it down to .' i,' my comrades used to call me.'
21.
I don't wear the see-through shirts or anything too glittery. I come from that '90s school of rap. Fitted caps, because I got a big head, so snapbacks don't fit me right.
Meek Mill
22.
I'm into all types of stuff. I might have on Pumas one day, Givenchy the next. I'd wear this John Elliott sweat suit to the club.

First black president ever, and to be living while it happened - that's a good part of history. That's probably the biggest person I admire right now.
Meek Mill
32.
When I'm not in the booth, I'm one of the most laid-back guys. But growing up, I liked DMX, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and T.I. - dudes that went all out on the track. My first songs were energetic because I liked their energy.

I don't know what type of music my son will want. By the time he starts listening to music, really, at like 15, 16, I'll probably have 10 albums out by that time.
Meek Mill
40.
You could be Top 5 on iTunes, but for people to buy an album, they've got to have a connection with an artist. Every time I bought someone's album, it was about the connection. I was loving everything, from their raps to their style. I wanted to meet them.
Meek Mill
41.
Jay-Z ain't a manager; he owns a management company. He been through this, he been through the game for a long time so he knows tactics in taking artists in certain directions we need to go in.

I always wanted to be one of the hottest rappers.
