The Ultimate Loser

This is not a diss to Memphis Bleek. I was one of the biggest fans of Roc-A-Fella Records during its glory years and even a little after it's good years. Any album released, I bought on the release date. I was heart broken when Dame and Jay split ways and the Roc soon died. Out of all the artist on the label who got screwed over by this, I feel he had it the worst. I know Peedi Crakk and Oschino and Sparks never even got an album released, but Bleek really had it bad. His whole career amounts to nothing. All of this is coming from a fan, so I'm speaking honestly.

I bought M.A.D.E and unfortunately bought 534, his 3rd and 4th album releases. But I just feel so bad for Bleek for some reason. I don't know why. This dude was like the 1st person signed to the Roc and it probably took him all four of his albums for him to hit the million albums sold mark. Recently, if you haven't heard already, Bleek finally left Roc-A-Fella. Yes that's correct. Memphis Bleek left Roc-A-Fella Records. But it wasn't really a shock to me. If you think about it, when was the last time Jay-Z featured Bleek on one of his albums? The Blueprint 2? That's 2002 folks.

So now that Bleek is not with Roc-A-Fella anymore, where does that leave his career? Do you honestly think anyone will want to hear one of his albums especially now that Jay won't have anything to do with it? In my opinion, his career is over. Or maybe it was over when he release 534. I don't know. We probably won't ever hear another track from Memphis Bleek again unless it's some mixtape joint. As a matter of fact, the last time I heard Memphis Bleek was in this Garnier Fructus Campaign commercial (fastforward to about 3:00 in the video)

So to end this tragic story, R.I.P to Memphis Bleek's music career. I would be more than happy if the Roc got back together and I would take back everything I just said. HA! Funny huh? Memphis Bleek has a better chance of seeing this blog than of the Roc getting back together. So until then, I guess I'm stuck bumping all my old Roc albums.
