Like Robin to Batman, Memphis Bleek has always been loyal to Jay-Z. So, when El Presidente took shots from Dipset, Bleek knew he had to step up and say something. In fact, as he put it, he was obligated to spit.

 

"You got to...You can't have nobody bombin' on you and you don't bomb back. We ain't no chumps," he said of retaliation to the Dips.

 

Later in the interview, Bleek noted that he was not impressed by the Dipset disses. Furthermore, he compared them to Nas' Ether.

 

"They don't make hot music," he told MTV. " 'Ether' was hot. When that dropped, I was in the studio like, 'Wow, he bombed on us,' " he added. "[Jadakiss], when he spit at Sigel, that joint was right! He spit. These dudes ain't spitting. ... All of y'all should be slapped," he said of the Dips. "We don't back down from nobody," he later exclaimed.

 

But will this "spill outside of the booth?"

 

"Ain't gonna be no problem. If they wanted a problem, they wouldn't put it on record. These dudes know the hip-hop police is following everybody, and there ain't gonna be no problems. It's just music. N---as wanna take the Roc out, and it's not gonna happen — not with them weak bars. You better come with heat," he added.
