Time hasn’t been kind to Memphis Bleek, but that doesn’t detract from one of the best group cuts of the 2000s. On “Round Here,” Bleek, Trick Daddy and Tip douse a Just Blaze beat in gasoline Read the rest of this entry »

Last week, we laughed at the thought of Trina posing as the spokeswoman for Tax USA but she’s neither the first, nor will she be the last rapper to appear in a questionable advertisement. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve never been the biggest Roc La Familia fan and have only driven down the I-9-5 a few times in my life, but Memph Bleek’s “I Get High” has remained in rotation since Understanding dropped in 2000. Read the rest of this entry »

After over a decade of championing the finer things in life without pitting us through the struggle to get there, Memphis Bleek is finally ready to assume responsibility as rapatician, reporting on the real. Only problem is, in his headstrong efforts to disenfranchise himself with the Roc, he’s scraping the bottom of the barrel for beats-n-hooks. Read the rest of this entry »

Even though he hears the naysayers, Bleek isn’t backin’ down and he’s still marching ahead towards the release of The Return 2 project and the full length release, The Process. Actually, his flow here sounds as if he found a bit of his youth again and he approaches the track with an unmistakable hunger. Read the rest of this entry »

There was a point in time when damn near anything Memphis Bleek-related would garner the most distasteful hate I could spawn. Since then, I’ve matured and, while I’ll never be a fan of the guy, I’ve learned to live with the thought of Bleek making music. Read the rest of this entry »

Young Memphis isn’t playing the apprentice anymore. A new album, new label and new outlook on the game has Bleek ready to take on Twenty Ten and prove to the world that he can do it without Big Brother. Memph Bleek still is money, murder and mo’ money but over a swing set, boom-bap backdrop, there’s still reason to cheer for Marcy’s own. Read the rest of this entry »

At this point in my blogging career, there’s no need to describe situations as “surreal.” They aren’t, so using the word is hyperbole. Not to say that they aren’t unique and that doing this hasn’t afforded its share of opportunities that I know I wouldn’t have encountered otherwise. If Jay could trip a referee @ MSG, I could have effortlessly reached out and tripped him up on Friday (thanks Laura @ 360). Read the rest of this entry »

…Now I’m The Teacher, Come Here Let Me Teach You.”

I’ve never been a big fan of the term weed carrier, but regardless of it’s derogatory connotations it’s the perfect term to describe Bleek.  He’s been apart of Jay-Z’s camp since the beginning and should prove as a model to aspiring weed carriers everywhere.  Read the rest of this entry »

“I love my niggas for life, ain’t no doubt about that
My nigga (Free), My nigga (Crakk)
Blow a shot for Mack
Oschino & Sparks, them niggas my heart
Sold by plunder, keep it 100 from the start
‘Whole Prop, we was fresh off the block like what
Came at Nas, came at the Lox
Ain’t give a fuck Read the rest of this entry »

Don’t think Young Memphis doesn’t hear the net’s wisecracks about his newfound independence and deal. In fact, he’s kept his ear to the web so much he’s came up with some conclusions of his own.

So why is that you hate the Marcy resident who makes easy money pimpin’ hoes in style? Read the rest of this entry »

Just like Turtle from Entourage, Memph Bleek feels it’s that time to step out from the shadow of Big Brother…and get a job.

But he won’t be flippin’ burgers or become the new bodyguard for the Carters or whatever witty anecdote the hounds on Twitter can come up with. As AHH, reports, the guaranteed millionaire is releasing his fifth solo album, dubbed The Process on independent grindhouse Koch E1 Music as well as his own imprint Get Low Records.

Memphis Bleek has been steady putting in work this year and you ingrates just don’t give a damn. No worries on his end; we all remember Jigga’s “As long as I’m alive Bleek’s a millionaire” line from Late Registration. For those appreciative of his efforts to keep the Roc’s name ringing (and not just on some damn Barbie dolls,) here’s his latest mixtape with DJ Suss One, Signed & Sealed.

…Like Louisiana Mayne.

There was a time when Roc-A-Fella had pretty much all my playlists in figure-four leg locks. There was a time when it seemed like every member in the crew was determined to churn out an anthem or two before passing the mic to the next consigliere and ultimately back to their godfather.

Gone is that time, but not those anthems.

The song that brought this to mind was “What We Do”. I’ll be damned if this song still doesn’t have Read the rest of this entry »
