The announcement evoked an instantaneous response from the audience, a huge occasion being the result of a rapper born in Philadelphia. Meek Mill’s post with the message “our city. our moment. meek & friends Dec 5th. tixs on sale now!!” right away bestowed the aura of a homecoming hero returning to his place of origin. The accompanying video had a gentle moving-to-a-tune-background already suggesting a ‘never to forget’ type of event.
Fans from Philadelphia voiced their excitement and at the same time their impatience in the comments section. The majority of them were expressing their feelings in the words, “I’m so hype like I cannot wait omgg.” The energy was everywhere, and it could be perceived from the hundreds of replies that the event was a major occurrence for the local community.
Some fans even mentioned the songs they would want to hear in a concert. “I need to hear 100 summers live please & thank you,” a user replied, which slowly led to an argument where other people would be confirming that they are going to rap along word by word with every album. Someone kept on testing the bounds with “Imagine dreams n nightmares live in Philly“ – alluding to the track that catapulted Meek to fame.
The concert date was especially exciting for some fans. Many people mentioned their birthdays are in that week and one commenter said, “The day before my birthday i wanna goooooo🚀🚀🚀” while another commented, “I wanna go 🔥🔥🔥🔥 n thats my birthday week.” What a wonderful birthday present.
Not every comment expressed joy though. Some fans used the opportunity to call for new songs with the bluntest remark being, “You gotta drop a album dawg it has been 4 years.” Another user chose a more forward approach mentioning career advancement saying, “Bro hit my line I’m trying to perform 🤘🏿 @meekmill” in hopes of landing a spot on the bill for the concert.
One person commented, “I really would love to go but with NO FOODSTAMPS I HAVE TO USE WHATEVER CASH FOR FOOD,MY HOUSEHOLD HAS BEEN EFFECTED 🙄😮💨” – shedding light on the tough choices many people are making because of the economy. On the other hand, one more comment stated that fans would go to any length to be there: “@sheisnique_40 you buying my ticket” – because when Meek comes home, you have to find a way.
The remark that “Made it n still ain’t done 🐐” captures accurately Meek Mill’s moving through the Philadelphia streets to global fame yet not severing the bond with the city that gave him birth. Another user replied to this feeling with “Dreams aren’t black anymore #DC” – a very powerful allusion to the artist’s path that has changed for the better far away from his initial struggles.
Even the local media could not resist the temptation to get involved, one of the professionals’ accounts asked, “Would love to cover this event! Let me get a media pass! 🙏🏽” – thereby implying that this is not just a concert but a cultural event for the city.
The excitement about this announcement is nothing like the usual tour dates. The homecoming pride is palpable and the authenticity of the excitement about witnessing one of their own being back on the stage celebrating the success is very clear. One comment expressed it perfectly: “Naaaaaaaa I gotta go. Ima figure this out. 🔥🔥🔥” – because when Meek Mill is going to Philadelphia you make it right no matter what.
