"A year ain't short." This guy knows the value of time. Salute Meek!
Rocky Singh Facts!
Real talk fam
I saw that!
He boss status now
It's a very long time. Someone with sense never wants to be in a cage. I can't even do few hours
I am so glad Meek is bringing attention to this horrific issue. In some states, more than half of the inmates are locked up for minor technical violations like Meek talks about here.
Yeah, the sad part is child molesters get less time than someone with a dime bag of weed and don't have probation nearly as long. It's sad
No clue this is whats going on with their criminal justice reform system. Makes sense with systematic racism now.
That’s horrific!!!
america has the biggest prision population due to shit like that. Shout outs to meek!
Racism is definitely a part of why the criminal justice system has its issues, but the number 1 reason for the problems is money. First you need money to afford bail whether you are innocent or not. Second, the private corporation who owns the prison gets funded by the number of inmates present. So a system is created to keep the flow of inmates constant. You didn't commit a crime but you violated probation. Back to prison you go and the owner of the prison gets another check. Some prisons even bribe judges or local justice departments to send prisoners to their facilities over others. Keeping Americans locked up is a multi-billion dollar industry.
I love how the band played Uptown Vibes when he came out. 🔥
Right!! Just noticed that was so hard🔥
That’s fire
I thought I was bugging 🤯
Would you please explain the significance for uneducated minds
@@thehoneydeev The band played "Uptown Vibes", one of the songs from his recent album "Championships".
you know a rapper has hit the big leagues once you see him on a late night show or SNL, congrats meek
He's been on Fallon before
@J. Carson What does "souled out" even really mean, do you know? People like you make no sense calling every artist that gets mainstream success a sell out, you want him to stay at the bottom ?
I thought I was the only Angolan here
@J. Carson you a hater and sad example. This man Meek is bringing attention to the poor Justice system of the United States of America.
QUITUTINCI TV your mother souled out
Jon Baptiste and the band absolutely KILLED it with the "Uptown Vibes" intro and outro!! I had to play it multiple times!
That judge and cop was mad crooked now we got cops getting fired for being racist on fb keep shining a light on it Meek we proud of you in Philly
I'm from his hood and that judge and cop might be crooked but he really does and did do everything they said. He should be in jail, dude violated probation like 100 times. I'm personally disgusted in my city.
@@rickybobbyroode9814 Proof???
The charges were dropped under the crooked officer for everyone he arrested. Meaning, Meek did not do anything. All false accusations. Hence the DA and the Governor are in the process of dropping the false charges.
Exactly!!! Cops here been crooked since Rizzo. The city just charged former Sheriff John Green for accepting bribes. He got 5 years...
Clacci38 The charges were dropped for violating probation, not for the crimes he committed and TMZ even had video of him fighting in an airport and in a concert outside of Philadelphia which is a violation. He violated probation and that's not even a debate there's literally video of it. Cops being crooked has nothing to do with a criminal using his money and fame to go free.
This guy, Meek mill inspires people especially me while listening to his music and what he had been through....congrats Meek
Geek Gill he full of billshit

I have to commend Meek on how calm and collected he is. Who wouldn't be outraged and infuriated at the obvious and horrendous injustice?
This is just one person. Can you imagine others stories??!!!! The US "justice" system is shit.
KLS- 95 one famous person... Crazy
He’d still be on it if he wasn’t meek
I love that he's on colbert. Awesome!
Me too
sorry to break it out for u guys but there are innocent black guys but dont fall for this guys lies he is not innocent. He using the black name to defend himself
@@therebelliousenglish6653 Got it 🤦🏾♂️🤣😂
#justMYthoughts #RIPNipsey #VictoryLap #TheMarathonContinues #DreamChasers #DC4L
The Rebellious English how you know?
Thx Steven for getting such interesting guests!
When I worked in corrections I got a real face to face reality check with this broken system. Like Hov said, Meek isnt the only one. Guys like this were leaders in my program and they were part of the reason why I stayed so long. Helping guys and ladies in the system get back on their feet was really a joy for me. Super proud of Meek for getting past the resentment and being a voice for change...Respect to that man.

Stephen Colbert slowly turning into DJ Envy? “Explain to the people at home what you went through” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
lmao facts thou
LMAO
He's paid his dues. One of the only good rappers out there right now...Meek Mill.
DEE DUBZ I don’t that those were his “Dues” shame on the system
Good rappers? All this dude talks about is his rollie...
jay b Idiot you know nothing
The American Justice system sucks!! Happy for you broer
Ah ha funny! broer means bro in Dutch.
@@rasmadroots Bruder, in Pa. Dutch
Yeah, American is #1
Madroots even in Afrikaans which originates from Dutch
I understand a bit if Afrikaans
@@tselengbotlhole750 hi
As a wrongly-convicted felon, going through the same thing... I really appreciate the message being put out there. The justice system is built for people to fail.
Sure you were :)

How could anyone NOT LOVE THIS GUY! Meek Mill FREE 🙌🏾 Alhamdulillah
🙏🏻
Meanwhile we have an orangegutan in Washington committing all kind of crimes and he’s free like an eagle.... Amazing
Johnny G it’s scary I got stopped by transit cops who demanded me for I.D and they told me that if I put my hand in my pockets that they would detain me! I never feared for my life and I’m only Puerto Rican so imagine when my African American brothers get stopped it’s insane. The majority of us who live the in the ghetto and projects are literally afraid of our little brothers leaving out the house late at night. It’s insane how one person in the White House can commit so many atrocities and still have the support of many. 2020 he has to go!
You can contact dreamchasers and meek on twitter about the situation they can help. This is what they do. Or contact mark Rubin as long as you have evidence and it’s a good enough reason they will help you. Meek already got other officers fired in philly
It's such a shame man!
Please do not insult orangutans, because they are intelligent, sensitive and amazing animals. Trump is an asshole.
Every president. Power is taken by force. Good people dont get the chance to even run. Theyre all scum.
Meek, all you've had to endure broke my heart. But, I'm so proud of you for turning it around and helping others to boot. You now have a new fan. God Bless!
youtube.com/@freeajtaylor
Im really glad he got a message in there for the youth.'Don't be a follower be a leader and do whats best for you'
His story really needed to be told
A movie 🎥
iWatchYou1 you obviously don’t listen to his raps
iWatchYou1 You should watch his docuseries on Amazon Prime called “free meek” bc you are obviously completely uneducated on this man & the unjustly things that not only him, but so many others go through on a daily basis.
iWatchYou1 stfu lil goofy ass boi
this is why we need somebody who's gonna reform this broken system we have
That Uptown Vibes cover is everything lol
I am a 70 year old Caucasian woman brought up in thy Deep South.
Mr. Meek, I love your story. I am watching your Free Meek movie, oh series.
This world you grew up in is as distant to my world as a galaxy.
Thank you for your courage. May my HP bless you! Most importantly, there are, as you said, so many young children growing up there today. I am thinking...yes! Is this the movement we’ve been waiting for?
It's your people doing it.
Oh, Ron , I know! I have been in a great number of civil rights fights, you know, voting, texting my congressman and senators, talking with people on the right, which most southerners are.
I guess you could call me one of your secret weapons. Stay strong, we have some important elections coming up,
@@Brooklyn7savior why is it always your people and my people. Why isnt it our people. We Are all humans. We all live here together.
Markus Pettersen keep the love going till it reaches all shores!
Don’t forget that that which we all seek doesn’t come easy
Damn Meek. North Philly on TV for real some Johnny Carson shit.
Good job streets to the penthouse
He mentioned King of Prussia. Thats pretty dope.
Whats ya @
King of Prussia is actually very well known for the mall. Kylie Jenner went there not too long agon
Well he is from Philadelphia. Was he supposed to mention Mall of America??
Would’ve been better if he mentioned Springfield Mall #delco 😂
A year ain’t short that’s a long time bruh. If you never been in jail you’ll never know the feeling when your locked up
I have watched this brother from day one. From selling his mixtape on the corner of Board and Erie in Philly to now this. All of this success and great charity work for his city as he was fighting for his life. There are millions of young men just like him caught up in the "justice system" that was designed to develop a new slavery system. Much respect to King Meek. PHILLY STAND UP!!
Remarkable Meek Mill interview. Strong articulate man.Colbert looks tense.
Really beautiful human being! Wow! What a strong soul - much love to you for your beauty and strength. May the world honor you for your music & your heart, Meek Mill.
colbert show is with it!
Stephen I love you for this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you are rich you could do whatever you want in America without consequences, only the poor and minorities suffer that is not justice, reform the justice system.
Yup, only reason he's out is because of his money.
Epstein: hold my coffee
@iWatchYou1 🤔
@@rickybobbyroode9814 He knows that, thats why he's trying to change the system for everybody
Juicy Hops he was doing what he was doing for decades though which is a lifetime for a lot of people
I’m starting to like Meek more and more...he’s actually an underrated rapper too...you know...what’s free?
Championships is a completely good album. As in you can hit play at track one and just let the whole thing rock.
Facts...
Without a doubt
Facts!
Jon Baptiste and co do it again with the intro! Love it!
This was an unfortunate situation for Meek but it has changed him and made him a better man💖
Fighting in an airport, leaving the city, riding dirt bikes and carrying guns while on probation isn't an " unfortunate situation" it's a violation of probation and he should be in jail. All it's thought him is that he can do what he wants and get away with it, that doesn't make him better it makes him worse.
Im in an amazing mood this beautiful Friday and I'm not going to argue with you but, as a fan of meek I see a positive change in him. I never excused what he did but he is allowed to learn and grow just like anyone in his situation. Im happy to see him use his platform to speak out against the injustice in our justice system because too many of my people receive much harsher sentences. He did his time now he's trying to make a positive change.
@@Ksb88 Totally agree. As he said in the video, Meek Mill realises that injustice is rampant and affects many of the people who believed in him and had his back when he faced legal issues, so is trying to pay them back by using his platform to help them in return. That's commendable and decent.
Regardless of what he has done, judging a 32yr old on the things they did as a 19yr old is insane - we all grow and learn. He's using his experiences to help, protect & inspire others. You have to have hate in your heart to see that as a negative.
Wishing you a lovely Friday (it's beautiful here in the UK, too, today) x
@@georgina-a We have so much to overcome in or society and I'm glad to see him speaking on it and doing the work! Thank you and enjoy your day as well! I cant wait to vist the UK one day💖
@Stinky Wizzleteats who said anything about a role model....goodbye!!
I went To prison when I was 15 years old I served 15 years. I was released with 10 years probation I’m 37 years old and I’m still not free I respect you Meek. 💯
I love this man. I’m glad he speaking on what’s real.
We PROUD of you in the Midwest MEEK. Keep doing your thing.💰🎼🔥🗞️💰
Thank you for your attention & dedication to this cause Meek!

This means so much. Love from North Philly ❤️
stephen is one of the best interviewers on Late Night TV
Love meek! Count how many times he said “uhhh” though 😂
Well spoken..
Hope others who don’t have your platform continue to fight against the system..
✌🏽
I hope he gets his justice in the end. this is not fair :C
Bless you, Meek. People caught up in that system really need someone who will speak for them and who understands exactly what they're going through.

I could have sworn Ross was the first rapper on the street of philly saying free Meek 🤷♂️
MEEK really dropping some knowledge here. The system is broken. I know 1st hand
My man meek on here! Respect.
🧐 - Meek Mill, Jay Z and Co, 👍.
And, of course, the great Stephen Colbert and The Late Show 'team'. 👍
Crazy my nigga meek on late show. Been following dummy since before flamerz 1. Long live scoota rip snupe
Colbert is easily the best show host doing it. Great interviewer.
Thank you Stephen. I didn't know his full story and I haven't even been living under a rock! Inspirational.
Meek is already a legend in my book
That masculinity that holster fit exudes is dope. Meek is also a part of some revolutionary ideas and I thank Stephen for giving him another platform to shine a light on the fact that America's justice system needs a serious overhaul!
hahahahhahahahAHAHAHAHHAAHAHahahahahahh no.
This should have way more views... ""Free my ____, Meek Mill" That judge had a crush and if she couldn't have him, no one can!
Peace to Meek Mill a symbol of perseverance
I’m sooo proud of Meek and his evolution 🙂
His new (to me album) wins & losses is fire!
I am So for Meek he is me, Meek is how my brothers and I grew up Meek being from North Philly and we from the Ville in Connecticut. So much Love to Meek Mill and Blessings upon Blessings 😍😍😍

Great interview
meek mill style fashion so on point he fucking gucci out there man
That LV holster is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Its ugly. Imagine it without the lv logo
Meek out here looking fresh an happy that’s love bro stay blessed my nigga 💪🏽😂
I never thought that the Meek Mill as a new artist to now would be evolved & involved in this significant much needed political change. I have so much respect for him.
SO PROUD OF YOU MEEK...... ADVERSITY HAS MADE YOU AN INSPIRATION TO ALL YOUNG BLK MEN.. SALUTE KING
Meek is well versed, I had no idea
Smh
Yeah , meek his versed , I listen to his music, I like all kind....... Hi how are you doing ?
@@sophiatonia4070 Theres a lot of good dudes out here rising above the hate and the stereotypes. One of the first stereotype that we all have to scratch is that its a surprise when we speak clearly because we're from the hood. Its all love tho @ocean city
@@sophiatonia4070 Oh apologies Sophia. That wasn't a direct reply to you. It was for the thread in general.
Thank you so much for having him on! He is very intelligent and I love hearing about what he is doing!
Are we just ignoring that bag-jacket ? 🤣
It's Louis Vitton.
To paraphrase the bible:
“Meek shall inherit the Earth.”
Lol
This was an important interview. Many Whites never hear about anything remotely close to this
As a white Brit, I knew the US justice system was bad, but didn't realise it was *that* bad. The technical violations for probation are insane, as is the Police contact rule. First I'd heard of it but will pass on to my American friends.
Meek Mill's use of his platform to highlight injustice is truly decent & commendable. This world needs more people to do exactly that.
Love Meek and his music, personality and as a human being. I'm so glad he is spreading the REAL news about how life can be and how you can turn it around by pursuing what you love! Real talk, lots of love for ya Meek
Meek has really grown and matured as man. I like this new Meek, keep fighting for prison reform.
New Drinking Game ; Take a shot everytime Meek says uhh
I love the way Meek Mill is staying humble. 🙏
Love a well spoken back man with a voice 🙌🏾
A year of your life is not short
Man god bless meek and let him live! Not just to be another fallen soldier for speaking the truth!
Take a shot everytime either one of them say "uhh"
A year ain't short! Tell em meek!
A year is short when a white man is considering a Black man's time. 25 hours is long when a white man considers a white man's time.
Meek Millz Is Truly Inspirational For Young Men Of Every Color Hoods, Barrio's, And Trailer Parks To Not Become A Product Of Your Environment Salute King!
He’s right my brother is on probation n 💯!!
The personal progression is immense. Good for him. Everyone regardless of where you are or who you are should strive to progress like he has. If you don’t know what I’m talking about watch an interview from him from 5-6 years ago.
Good stuff
I love when rappers get interviewed
