Meek Mill Calls “Dreams and Nightmares” One of Rap’s Best After Kevin Hart Roast

His claim spotlights a 2012 anthem that still erupts at live events more than a decade later.

Overview

  • Following his closing performance at Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart, Meek Mill wrote on X on May 11 that “Dreams and Nightmares” is one of the best rap songs ever and said he has never seen another track with the same impact.
  • Reaction online split quickly, with supporters praising the song’s explosive second half that still ignites arenas and parties, while others argued that several other records have had broader cultural reach.
  • The track was produced by Tone the Beat Bully and opened Meek’s debut album of the same name, released through Maybach Music Group and Warner Bros. Records in 2012.
  • The album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2 and sold about 165,000 units in its first week, helping establish Meek as a mainstream name early in his career.
  • Meek has teased a “Dream Chasers 2.0” project and hinted at revisiting the anthem, though any rework remains unconfirmed and no release date has been announced.
