Meek Mill Remix Over? Knxwledge Says Remix Series Due To Continuous Copyright Strikes

For the past five years, Knxwledge's MEEK records have given new life to Meek Mill's old school freestyles and helped to spread the word about them.

Nonetheless, as Knxwledge said on Twitter on Sunday, his time remixing Meek has come to an end, following six volumes of the famous series, which began in 2017, and after six years of work.

Some of his MEEK work has been pulled down (apparently from streaming providers) due to copyright issues, despite the producer's claims that he obtained permission from videographers to flip their recordings.

Lashing out

In the same tweet Knxwledge posted recently, he called the takedown "idiotic" as streaming platforms continue to flag his remixes because of copyright claims.

Sarcastically, the hip hop record producer and songwriter, asks if platforms are purposefully removing the tracks that has given him more exposure, or if it does not know how to differentiate a remix from the actual source material.

Glen Earl Boothe, professionally known as Knxwledge, claims he "had persmission to flip from [the] videographers".

The scenario was further explained on Knxwledge's Instagram Stories, in which the rapper said that he began the remix series not because he wanted to gain clout, but rather because he grew up listening to Meek Mill's freestyles and his lines "moved" him.

A large number of Knxwledge's Meek Mill remixes are still available on YouTube (including "sameolemeek_," which has had more than four million views as of the time of publication).

However, a small number of his films have been taken down, and it is unclear how long they will remain online in their entirety.

Meek Mill and Knxwledge collab?

After Knxwledge's statement, fans and fellow producers reacted with grief and disbelief, with DJ Dahi stating on Twitter, "Y'all need to do a whole album." Despite Dahi's offer, an official collaboration between Meek Mill and Knxwledge was doubtful even before the copyright controversy broke out. Last March, the Knxwledge alluded to animosity between himself and Meek Mill, which was most likely due to his remixes of the rapper's songs.

Meek Mill shared one of Knxwledge's remixes on his Instagram account in January 2020, but he forgot to give credit to the Stones Throw producer or his long-running series of songs.

'Expensive Pain,' Meek Mill's most recent album, was released in October and featured production from artists like as Boi-1da, Tay Keith, and Cardo, among others.

According to reports, the project debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 after selling 95,000 album-equivalent units in its first week of release.
