Memphis Bleek Belly Up

There was a time when fans argued over rappers and you at least sort of recognized the artist names cited. Ten guys filled up ninety percent of discussion outside that one dumbass who’d mention a street kid in Dayton who was the rage on underground mixtapes. Now it’s all street kids from Dayton. Every black 20-something with an idiotic moniker is likely to link you to an urban blog site talking about who he’s beefing with and whose girl he’s fucking. That’s racist. Though not necessarily on my part.

Memphis Bleek is now bankrupt too. Update your rapper Chapter 13 Google doc. Some credit ratings agency should review the financial well-being of the ten thousand dudes who rap about their money and their bling. Like Moody’s, but based on how many feet of gold you’re wearing at any given time. Nobody likes surprises.

Memphis Bleek’s assets include a modest house in Jersey and a mostly paid-down 2014 Chevy Impala. So what Jay Z tipped his rub and tug lady in the city for the Fourth. Bleek’s income shows about twenty grand for the past two years combined. That won’t cover your motherfucking yacht or your gold digging bitches. Keeping it real is just another name for broke. Next time pick a more optimistic rape name.
