MOST PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE BEANIE SIGEL HIS FLOWERS AND RECOGNITION WHILE HE'S STILL HERE GRINDING

[TraphouseBoominOU]

Beans always held his own on any track with Hov

[SequoiaMoonSpeaks]

He was channeling Bigs energy through himself. Ritual is the correct terminology.

[ungalld]

Beans is one of the hardest lyricist! Cold than ice. Salute Legend 🫡

[MGODST]

One of the hardest lyricist to ever step foot in a booth, the broad street bully!!

[TheSpicyandFunLife]

I can feel it in the air... forever a classic.

[javariuscorpening]

That’s insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥that’s why B.I.G Jay and Beans are all in a league of their own that’s a different kind of energy 💯

[bksfinest]

Channeling the energy of the dead is a real thing RIP BIG 💙

[fareedingram]

Sigel didn't want to be a rapper, but one of the best!! Could you imagine!? !! Damn

[awokeone]

The whole Biggie chain ritual will go over a lot of people's heads.

[Roy_Al_Blak]

A rare video on this channel not slandering Jay...

[KP-]

I ain’t even gonna lie thats one hell of a skill set to have salute to HOV🐐 That’s also something good to tell a up and-coming artist💯 don’t write Down to just spit it from the top of your head “pause”

[matthewbush]

Gone but not forgetting RIP CHRISTOPHER WALLACE AKA NOTORIOUS BIG 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[nrgao]

This is the best I’ve heard someone explain the process. Respect to Beanie Sigel !

These are the stories that need to be shared more often. Jay-Z was also reading at a twelfth grade level at 9 years old. One man’s gifts has employed so many people over decades.

I was in the studio with Beans once. He came in, heard the track, went to the corner to whisper some bars to his partner, and went right to the booth and spit his verse. No paper involved. Biggs came in about 30 mins later to hear it.

This is fire this beanie sigel interview art keep killing it

[michaelwilliams]

I find that dope! Jigga was already a heavyweight after Reasonable Doubt. Him and Big were genuine friends and inspired one other. It was strongly rumored after Reasonable Doubt, Jay was gonna retire. But it's possible after Big's passing Jay stayed in the game for his memory. Jay probably felt he had to keep the title in BROOKLYN.

This is the interview I have waited a long time for. Why did it take someone so long to do a Sigel interview? He's looking in good shape, I think. (The last I heard of him, he was supposed to be sick.) I'm still waiting for the Beanie Sigel and Scarface album.

Sooo we just gonna let the fact that he had Biggie’s personal chain like where he get that from 🤔..”But what do I know
