There’s no anniversary, no birthday and clearly no reason to pay homage to Beanie Sigel except for the fact we rock with his music and wanted to take a look back at his old catalog. The Broad Street Bully had some classics in his old Roc-A-Fella days that we remember as clear as day. Although his career hasn’t panned out like we expected after his fallout with JAY Z, it doesn’t take away what he’s done for the rap game and the city of Philadelphia.
From The Truth to The B. Coming and his heartfelt songs on The Dynasty, Sigel Sigel is one of the realest to grace the mic, in terms of putting emotion to wax. We still get chills when we hear him on “Where Have You Been,” in what may be one of the rawest songs in Roc-A-Fella history.
Today, we salute the Philly spitter and put together a playlist of some of our favorite songs. If you have any favorites that we didn’t put on here, let us know in the comments. Let’s remember Beanie Sigel and celebrate his music today. You are appreciated.
