Ever wonder why certain artists fail to maximize their potential? It’s mind-boggling to see so much talent go to waste sometimes. I’m not sure what’s responsible for this terrible trend.

Take Memphis Bleek, for example. Logic rules that Bleek should have 3 classic albums by now. He’s already in Jay’s will, so it’s not like he has to deal with the pressure of making a No.1 album, right? Without the pressure to make a successful album, what’s keeping Bleek from making a successful album? Wait, don’t answer that.

    Damnit H, I was expecting a top 10 list. Fab comes to mind, but there are a lot of them who will never put it together. Hell, Jadakiss is an underachiever in my book.

    I thought about it, but then I looked at my list and realized that I would eventually run out of space or people will be scrolling forever.

    Jadakiss. Yes, son is nice and considered Top 5 Dead or Alive by many. BUT, his albums haven’t matched up to the respect he gets. But yeah, Bleek is #1.

    MADE was solid and well above average but i wouldnt consider it classic…i think bleek just always fell into the category of jays little sidekick and could never get outta the shadow
