Hip-hop

Memphis Bleek never really was one-hit away.

Jay was just buggin, trying to gas us up, sell his product and secure returns on his retirement investment.

But the truth of the matter is Bleek’s close association with Jay has been both his blessing and curse simulataneously. The blessing is that son will always be taken of whether he ever creates a high-selling album or not. The curse being that he’ll forever be in Jay’s shadow, similar to how I never expect Spliff Star to outshine Busta. Bleek simply doesn’t have the persona or skills to step in front of the spotlight created for him by the one before him. He’s no Snoop. He’s no Pun.

But he’s Bleek.

And he’s created consistent albums. M.A.D.E. pretty much...
