Beanie Sigel Biography
Unlike his contemporaries, Beanie Sigel didn’t pay his dues by performing on the underground open mic circuit or appearing on mixtapes. No, this thoroughbred MC skipped the demo-making process and went straight from rocking ciphers on the streets of his native South Philly to rocking mics alongside his Roc-A-Fella brethren, Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek. “I ain’t into battling people and all that,” says Sigel. “You come at me like that and I might slap you. I ain’t trying to hear that. Man, I’m gangsta, nigga.” Which is why, in many ways, Sigel’s debut album, last year’s The Truth, was his demo tape.
