Roc4Life Exclusive: Catching Up With Memphis Bleek
Bleek puts life in fate's hands. If he was meant to be famous or as big as the most comparable person in The Roc camp, Kanye West, it would have happened already. He's cool where he's at, but now he's trying to start a new adventure in his life. When Jay-Z left Def Jam, so did Bleek. But when Jay-Z started RocNation, Bleek confidently declined the deal. After a joint venture with Mass Appeal Entertainment, Bleek has become his own man career wise with his record label Get Low Records.
Being the CEO and artist of Get Low Records means he can prevent a Déjà vu from occurring like his last album 534. He felt Def Jam dropped the ball on a good album and he may be right. Swizz Beatz produced hit "Like That" still gets heavy rotation in the clubs to this day. As a business man, Bleek can control marketing, advertising and the fate of his next album The Process that will hit stores November 24th. And for his artist G Baby, they both have aspirations to do big things, better things and wiser things, but always putting it in fate's hands.
Part 1: Bleek talks about his brolationship with Jay-Z and why he feels he's out of his league. He also talks about why fame, females & money would never divide their friendship, his thoughts on Kanye West's success with Jay compared to his own, memories of when Hov checked his ego, and his view about the fate of his career.
Part 2: These days Jay-Z has been under a lot of ridicule from other rappers and Bleek tells us why he's been very quiet about his position. He also talks about Jim Jones, The Game, T-Pain and gives a warning to internet bloggers who feel it's OK to throw him under the bus on their sites.
Part 3: Finally Bleek tells us about his new situation with his label Get Low Records, his album The Process. His artist G Baby shares his reason to signing to Bleek's label.

What he said about The Game is true but dispute that I still fucks with Jay, The Game & Bleek because they all dope artists despite the beef! Game just needs to take a cue from Bleek & focus more on the music and he wouldn't have such a problem because he's talented but to wreckless a lot to which takes away from him a lot! Can't wait for Bleek's new album though!
