Why Was Memphis Bleek So Wack?

[re'up]

I was watching 4 Da Fam on MTV Jams before going to 8th grade

We all wanted that on Jay's album

 

[Drake's Tan]

Bleek was okay.

Had some really good moments. Had some less good moments.

I wouldn't say he was wack.

 

[Drake's Tan]

Who was his #1?

Probably himself

 

[I'm Blackman]

Lowkey had the best verse on that song…

Straight from my ghetto, we listen to heavy metal like…
Desert Eagles, street sweepers, loud metal

he most def had the best verse.

we them nikkas be in ya crib like furniture

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

Nah fukk allat, cuz 534 was damn near a classic

 

[Killigraphy]

The Drag-On effect. Great as a feature, terrible with his own album.

Young Chris was everything Bleek was suppose to be. If Chris had Jay backing him like Bleek who knows. Bleek had zero it factor. People could only tolerate the scream flow so much. Dude was hella one dimensional, 90% of all his lyrics and flow etc all sound the same.

 

[Slow Moving]

Who was his #1?

5: lil Zane
4: vanilla ice
3: bleek
2: ras Kass
1: lil b
Honestly it isn't a bad list

Three pages and only twice was his best song mentioned:

 

[DeJuan]

 

[BaKardi Slang]

This was one of my favorite songs back when I started building my music library in the late 2000s. It's wild how this was something I played on repeat like 20 times at once in my mid teens but it's kinda wack to me now.

Can’t mention a Bleek without mentioning this joint either

NBA Street Volume 2

 

[TheKongoEmpire]

Beat is a whole ass pot of mid

 

[Master Teacher]

same reason their will never be a movie franchise about robin, or any side kick

memphis bleek didn't have the personality wasn't interesting enough or made music good enough to get over the hump, it is what it is

He knew his limitations, I think Jay-Z was trying to force that next to take over shyt on him, because he really wanted to retire at one point

that said, Bleek is probably greatest right hand man to ever live, he never went outside his position and held it down

 

[CrimsonTider]

I never met anyone in real life who even got an opinion on Bleek. Even Roc stans who was heavy into Jay, Dip Set, State Property, Kanye, nobody gave a damn about Bleek

The Coli is one weird place

 

[Luke Cage]

I think he just had some poor quality control. and had a tendency to be outshone by guest appearances on tracks.
If i took his whole discography and curated it down to just 12 of his best tracks. It would be a classic album.
