"I don't like that line 'cause that line put a stamp on my career. I feel people look at me as if Jay is just taking care of me. That line was basically, I guess, in his mind, a shoutout. But people take it literally and serious, like I'm just chilling somewhere [like] I'm not working. As you see, I'm here. I gotta work. I'm pretty sure he got me taken care of...That's my guy...[But] my son don't wanna hear Hov got us. He wants to know dad got us...Dad got it...He wanna be at dad's tours. He don't wanna be at Hov's tours. He wanna be at dad's tours...I love my guy. Hov's my brother. The shoutout was it, but what I'm saying is what it did to my career after, how the fans and the deejays and people look at me, it's just another chapter."I remember when I first heard that line, I was like 'Oh My God' Jay Z just demolished this guy's ego. Which grown man would be happy with another grown telling the whole world that he would always take care of him. Hello! What about I take care of myself. And that line about bleek being one hit away his whole career gives the impression that Jay Z felt that/feels that Bleek can never be successful. Read the lyrics below and interpret for yourselves.
Bleek could be one hit away his whole career
As long as I'm alive, he's a millionaire
And even if I die, he's in my will somewhere
So he can just kick back and chill somewhere, oh yeah
He don't even have to write rhymes
The Dynasty like my money last three lifetimes
Or, listen to the song itself-
