In this clip, Vlad started off speaking to Beanie Sigel about dropping “The Reason,” his second album, which went to #5 on the Billboard charts. Beanie then revealed that he wasn’t finished with the album when Roc-A-Fella told him to drop it, and Beanie explained that he didn’t know how to make an album until “The Becoming.” Vlad went on to speak about the State Property movie coming out in 2002, and Beanie revealed that he almost didn’t get on “Roc The Mic,” the big single from the soundtrack. Beanie then explained that it was his brother that convinced him to get on the song, and Beanie added that he didn’t want Jay-Z to hear it until it was finished. To hear more, including Beanie revealing that Omillio Sparks is “sick to this day” about his verse not making the cut, hit the above clip.

That song was fucking classic,still popping in clubs today,in 2002 when it 1st dropped please back in NYC the club scene was crazy

[@icedoutchurchin]

I love how Beans imitates his brother 😂

[@cjd9978]

We’d be clubbing in D.C the DJ would have 2 play Roc the Mic back to back. Club would go all the way up. I rocked the Baltimore Bullets shooters shirt, fitted with the Red, white, blue Converse Weapons. The early 2000’s was fun times.💯

Beans said I wasn’t finished with the album and he completely ignored it

Jada n Styles on We Gonna Make It (remix with Eve). Free n Beans, Roc The Mic (remix with Nelly) were all fire 💯💪🏾👑

shout out to Beans brother that track was phenomenal; Jay would have definitely took that and ran with it.

[@NFJIZZY]

Shoutout Sigel Brother For Making That Power Move For Him

[@kenterminateddq5311]

When The Reason album wasn't finished and the quality is solid, that shows you how severely underrated Beans is.

[@bammyville]

Remix wit Nelly and Murphy Lee was crazy

[@ojlott-w4n]

That freeway "what we do" was the hottest song that summer of 02

[@darrylmcmillan5539]

The Reason my favorite BSieg album. Guru and Justblaze killed it on da production. Dats when soul samples was in and it was a lot of em on there too 💯

[@Billy.Ripken]

Vlad done messed up 5 important things so far. He did no research

[@lilmariosantana7735]

Dat “What’s Ya Life Like 2” n “Nothing Like It”

[@NFJIZZY]

Roc The Mic straight Classic

[@rasheemyoumans1805]

Beans career should've went a lot further than what it did! I believe if he didn't try to be a street thug and a rapper at the same time, he would've been in a more comfortable position than what he is now! One of my favorite songs is "feel it in the air" and he couldn't even promote the song because he was in prison! My point!!!

[@dtwelve2086]

bro i was now banging that joint.. Free's flow back in the day took getting used to, rhymes off kilter, i loved those street wars mixtapes

[@lqdae]

Beans looking like Ryder with them glasses he got on 🤣

[@ahmedkarim6927]

Freeway's intro is FIRE ...
