Beanie Sigel adds fuel to the fire over ghostwriting allegations involving JAY-Z and Memphis Bleek, supporting Dame Dash’s recent claims.
- Dame Dash initially sparked controversy by suggesting JAY-Z wrote lyrics for Memphis Bleek, hinting this affected Bleek’s future at Roc-A-Fella.
- In a candid chat, Beanie Sigel confirms that JAY-Z penned some lines for Bleek, especially on tracks featuring all three artists.
- Sigel clarifies, though, that Jay didn’t write everything for Bleek, but did help him keep up on certain records.
- Memphis Bleek, responding on social media, denies these accusations, adding a humorous spin with emojis.
Beanie Sigel has thrown his hat into the ongoing debate about ghostwriting in the hip-hop world. He backed up Dame Dash’s assertion that JAY-Z lent his lyrical skills to Memphis Bleek. Sigel, speaking candidly, stated it was evident that Jay helped Bleek with “a lot of shit.”
Sigel mentioned a specific verse from the track “You, Me, Him and Her” where he believes JAY-Z’s touch is unmistakable. His reasoning? When all three rappers were on a track, Bleek needed Jay’s support to stand alongside them effectively.
However, Beanie was quick to clarify that Dame Dash’s claim wasn’t entirely accurate—JAY-Z didn’t write all of Bleek’s lyrics. Sigel noted, “He wrote enough, though.” This was often the case on records shared with JAY-Z and himself, where Bleek had to keep up the pace.
Meanwhile, in the original interview that stoked this controversy, Dame Dash suggested Bleek’s reliance on Jay’s writing was a reason he might not have succeeded Jay at Roc-A-Fella. Dash’s comments hinted that without Jay’s pen, Bleek’s prospects dimmed significantly.
Reacting to these claims, Bleek took to social media, denying the allegations with a humorous twist. He remarked, “If Jay wrote for me, he whack too,” adding light-hearted emojis to express his disbelief.
Even though Dame Dash later stated that he and Bleek made peace over the controversy, Bleek’s cryptic emoji responses suggested otherwise, casting doubt on any reconciliation.
This ghostwriting saga continues to stir debates and curiosity within the hip-hop community.
