  1. The consistency is admirable! Thanks for being my inspiration to keep posting videos on my channel consistently

  2. *Stop Trying To Steal The Spot Light From Trump Who Did Real Criminal Justice Reform And Not Some Bogus Organization By Criminals/Drug Dealers…AKA Meek Mills & Jay-Z*

  3. I see a RACIST hit the dislike button! If you have a problem with this, you’re part of the problem! ✌

    • Your heart, spirit and souls are in the right place… Your innocent babies not being able to tell when the stove is hot…

  4. How will they get anything done without working with the President? They need to put their pride aside and work with the people in power, Aka Donald Trump. 50 mil with no real political influence don’t mean nothing. We don’t have to like Trump in order to work with him. Do it for the liberation of our people.

    • He’s not gonna be the President forever, they don’t have to work with him. I’d rather they get someone in power that’ll have their position for a much longer time. Once his term is up I don’t think he’ll continue to help but 🤷🏽‍♂️ who knows. Kanye already presented him with feasible arguments.

    • Cormel So because we don’t like Trump, we’re gonna postpone our movement, that is suppose to be about HELPING OTHERS IN URGENT NEED! That selfish and idiotic if you ask me. The time for change is NOW!

    • ROB

      That’s only them though, think of all the people who are trying to work with Gov officials. Just bc they won’t doesn’t postpone anything. Kanye & Kim are willing to work with Trump & other activists/entertainers.

    • Cormel I understand that but what I’m saying only pertains to them and their whole organization/movement. Also, these group of people will become the most prominent and the face of the issue. They have lot of social power so people will side with them.

    • ROB

      True indeed, hopefully they can accomplish something either way. Nice to see someone who has the people in their best interest bc they were once apart of that demographic.

  5. Meek is a street martyr a living symbol of what’s wrong with the system but now that he’s got billionaires backing him people will listen🥇🥇🥇

    • +Waldo P. Schmeer if you know the history of his case he was arrested by dirty cops who planted evidence on many many people furthermore they claim during the arrest he pointed his gun at 2 cops , what black man in this country can point his gun at 2 cops and survive? NONE!

      Parole / Probation is a system designed to keep the poor and minorities trapped in a legal spider web check the data its out there that’s why they just reformed the system but still more needs to be done.

      Thanks to Robert Kraft, an empathetic billionaire and Jay-Z we may get more reform so the system is fair to all.

      If you don’t understand by now with all that’s going on you prob never will✌🏽

      If you grew up in a hood where u saw ppl die every day you’d carry a gun too.

    • +BKmadetv I like that. In one sentence u say he didn’t have a gun the cops planted it but at the end of ur comment u say “if u lived in the hood where u saw people die every day you’d carry a gun too.” SO which is it now did he carry a gun or not? LMAO

    • +Waldo P. Schmeer
      Meek admitted to having a gun for protection but he said he didn’t point it at cops and the drugs weren’t his that’s where the credibility of the cops come into play and they’ve already been proven criminals themselves.

      The ability to understand a situation other than your own is wisdom. Try it bruh, I work hard too, got 2 degrees and I’m not on probation or parole … I didn’t pick up a gun but I understand those who felt it necessary due to extreme circumstances. I know my worth without putting myself above others. The opposite is called arrogance. ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

  6. We’ve got KKK on a mission to dislike one of the only positive things TMZ posted in a while 😂

    • They hate to see black men doing much more better than they are and didn’t have to sell out themselves to achieve success. It kills their boners.

    • Cormel or alot of people dislike the fact that 2 people who are highly relevant in the conversation of gang culture and influence kids are trying to start an organization about criminal justice reform when they would do much better if they changed their lyrics in their songs and told kids not to look up to people like them. They are popularizing gang culture in their songs .

  7. All Kardashian had to do was have a conversation with the president, something Jay Z refuses to do. Criminal reform only for black people. Jay Z the rascist.

    • +Therese Jackson Jay Z makes money off of privately funded prison companies.Jay Z the slave owner. A company will build a prison in a city. And that city promises to fill the prison.

    • +ComicBookCast 3 You know all of this but dont know how to spell racist😂🤦‍♂️

  8. NO CNN HEAD LINES ABOUT THIS!!! BUT IF THEY COMMITTED A CRIME = ALL DAY AND NIGHT $QUIZING THE $PONGE DRY. AMERICA!

    • This the trickle down economy Reagan promised us. We’re out here living the American Dream 😒😒😒

  9. Good for you Meek,Jay Z ,and Craft….We need this for our community and people…

  10. Van Jones is the only “social justice” activist I like and respect. I wish them the best of luck, this is long overdue.

    -A Trump Supporter

  11. Ironic that two men who by all rights did and should have gone to prison want reform.

  12. Meek was arrested for possession of illegal drugs and a illegal gun. Now he’s running around like he’s Nelson Mandela. Smh.
