Beanie…
For whatever reason, this interview hasn’t picked up the traction it deserves, even a week after its release. While so much content comes and goes, I wanted to shine a light on this powerful sit-down with Beanie Sigel. Over the course of two and a half hours, Beans opened up about his entire career, but what made the conversation truly special was the personal growth he displayed. He acknowledged his role as one of the last authentic voices who can help steer the next generation away from the streets.
From sharing prison stories — including how he became a chef on the inside — to finally addressing the infamous moment when Jay-Z refused to vouch for him on the stand, Beanie spoke with honesty and maturity. Years later, he admitted he holds no grudge against Jay, recognizing how uncontrollable his younger self was two decades ago. Still, the one thing he wanted closure on was that courtroom moment.
Throughout the interview, Sigel also reflected on the Roc-A-Fella legacy alongside Dame Dash, Jigga, and Memphis Bleek, offering nothing but respect for the movement. This conversation is raw, insightful, and a reminder of why Beans remains such an important voice.
