Sometimes his shouting is a brilliant turn, as with the on-fire opener “(Intro) Dreams and Nightmares”. It seems necessary for Mill, a guy trying hard to make a name for himself even as he is charged with building the MMG brand at every turn – yes, we do get the woman saying “Maybach Music” tagline more than once here. In fact, the whole record feels ham-handedly strident. So it’s no real surprise that Meek Mill spends a lot of time yelling on this record. It’s a record that proves MMG a conglomerate, a very direct money-making machine, rather than making money through creativity. But it also feels professional in all the coldest ways. There are moments of greatness from Mill here, and as a whole it is a well-built record. It’s another safe full-length from the group, the kind of thing that will sell copies but stifles the charm and creativity of the rapper in the spotlight. He’s got the immediate fire of Ross’s carefully regimented rhymes and the intricate flow of Wale’s tricky wordplay, but he manages to sound like neither of his MMG partners.īut if this year’s Dreamchaser 2 showed Meek Mill at the top of his game, Dreams and Nightmares tells a story more about MMG than Mill himself. Mill has given us two great mixtapes, Dreamchasers and Dreamchasers 2, that prove he is as smooth a rapper as there is working today. And then you’ve got Meek Mill, the most curious and unknown rapper of the bunch, which isn’t to say he hasn’t been busy. ![]() ![]() Wale had a decent sophomore record in Ambition, but the Eleven One Eleven Theory tape was far better. Rick Ross’s Rich Forever was a mixtape that doubled as his far-and-away best full-length. But for a group of rappers that want to be “rich forever”, they often give their best work away free. Head honcho Rick Ross has become, as he claimed he would, a don in today’s hip-hop world, an untouchable hit and tastemaker that has assembled a popular stable of rappers, himself included. Low-key lighting is used to contrast to the mood of the title ‘Dreams and nightmare’s’.Maybach Music Group works curiously backwards. The colour black is used in order to convey all the dark negative points about rapping, how it has crime and many other negative things. The use of guns and threatening’s also may appeal to he target audience as they may be able to relate to this.ĭescribe how the camera angles, camera movements, editing, mise-en-scene is used to help convey meaning? ![]() Therefore we know that this target audience are very attracted to this. They also have what we call ‘bling fashion’. It appeals to this target in many ways, for example they have expensive cars like Rolls Royce, Aston martin. The target audience is applicable to ages above 18+, this is because many youngsters and people can relate to this. Who do you think the target audience is for this music video?.when the artist starts to speak about possessions and belongings especially we are shown a variety of images. There is a clear obvious connection between the lyrics and the meaning we see in the video, and there are many examples. The artist seems to also use a lot of threatening words in the music video. The video also portrays that the artist has been through a tough up-bringing, where he had a kid when he was really young, and he had to look after his mother, as they were poor. we also understand that he likes to show-off his belongings and possessions a lot and is probably really wealthy. We learn through this music video that Meek mills is a performance type person. ![]() The lyrics in his music really contrasts to his video for example when he starts talking about his Rolls Royce we are shown a very expensive car.This really what I want to do with our music video. this scene the shots transitions are fading in to each-other, I believe that this is a very effective way of introducing another shot.Meek mills is walking and as he’s walking we can see images and short video’s of meek mill when he was young rapping in the streets of Philadelphia. There is not a direct clear narrative but you can understand that the artist is talking about his previous life growing up.
