With certain artist put in an uncomfortable situation to choose who they wanted to role with after the divorce, one person who was neutral, initially, was Beanie Sigel. Although the Broad Street Bully would eventually join his Harlem cohorts, he’d still have a close relationship with Hov until a few legal issues surfaced.

The interview is a bit lengthy at nearly 3-hours, but any fan of Sigel should know that he rarely makes media appearances – so it’s a few gems heard throughout the conversation.
