I always felt Beanie Sigel was one of the most talented artist to ever sign to Rocafella, he was one of few who could hold his own on a track with Jay Z without being completely out shined... His album The B. Coming is a favorite of mine. It's unfortunate everything ended up where it is today, the jail time, his relationship with Jay and his relationship with the industry period seems to be in a very bad space.
In a recent Forbez DVD interview Beanie Sigel talks about his issues with Jay Z and explains what happened. he discusses past Jadakiss beef and what sparked it... he also addresses people who say he is broke, he says he owes the IRS 1.5 million in taxes from just from 2004 & 2005... and explains that while he was locked up for that year alone he made around 4 million dollars and being broke is not a issue for him.
"The sh*t stemmed from a situation from me that happened when Jay-Z's bodyguard put his hands on me not in a manner that was harmful to me, but in a manner where he shouldn't have touched me period," Sigel explained in an interview. "On a push in the back tip and I addressed Jay about it in front of his A-List company [...] and I guess he ain't like that too much. I think that was the opening of the 40/40 Club, after that I never saw Jay again. I never talked to him again. That couple months went by or whatever, I even tried to reach out to him. It got to the point where you had to get to four different people to talk to Jay." Beanie Sigel (Forbez DVD)
