In this clip, Vlad started off speaking to Beanie Sigel about going to prison and Roc-A-Fella starting to show signs of breaking apart, as Jay-Z became the President of Def Jam. Beanie then explained why he didn’t pick sides between Jay, Dame Dash, and Biggs, and Beanie explained that he was the only one who didn’t pick sides.

Didn’t choose sides? This man lying - he was signed to Damon Dash Music Group. I remember him being under the artists section on the website like it was yesterday.

[@Bran-Da-Don]

I swear the Rocafella break up is the hip hop version of the Beatles breaking up. It will forever be talked about.

[@DLabri3]

There were hip hop break ups before that. Roc & Beatles don't match. Beatles were a group. Roc was a bigger label & company. Much more vast then Beatles operation

[@fuzzytimes187]

When EPMD broke up in 93 it was hell. Erick Sermon did do his thang though

[@bammyville]

Problem with Dame was he kept calling Jay “my artist” instead of speaking about him as a business partner. Jay didn’t work for Dame, he worked with him. Dame was being too loud & making moves without talking or discussing with Jay, at the same time disrespecting & being rude with people in high positions in the Industry which isn’t good for business. Jay figured this out with the help of Sneaky Lor and started making his Movies on how he can make money without Dame & Biggs. So it’s funny to me when I hear Dame talk and never own up to his own fuck ups ultimately which lead to the breakup My man made Camron VP cause that was his man without even discussing with Jay 😂🤦🏾‍♂️ I miss Rocafella, but I ain’t mad JayZ understood his worth and brand. Look at Biggs now still in business with Jay and raking in the bag 💰 while Dame still stays salty he refused to see the bigger picture.

[@johnhannon2009]

Them are facts, I always liked beans on the mic, for me I just don't think his main priority was rap and that's what Jay Z wanted from him.

[@anthonymiller8107]

Honestly on paper jay z was a business partner but he really was just a artist. To be honest all of the great things that happened was cause of dame and Biggs. If it was up to Biggs jay z would of just be a artist and not a partner from the beginning

​@Anthony Miller you sound dumb shut up. Speak on what you actually know

[@MillieMoBuckz]

I bring up the Biggs part all the time… it says a LOT about Dame, and ego… Biggs didn’t hold the grudges that Dame did… Jay didn’t steal Roc-a-fella records, he bought it… then made it a management company!.. Biggs came home from a bid and is back to working WITH Jay, no hard feelings bout the past… Dame being salty n stubborn kept him from blowing up, even after they made up… he couldn’t help himself but to keep reopening old wounds… I used to be on his side, but EVERYONE that chose Hov kept winning… Even Bleek has a label…

he didnt sign with either. Dame just put The B.

[@TriplomatX]

The B.Coming was an album to get behind on sales. That had to be one of Beanie's most mindful work he's put into his album. Still a banger. Sad it had low Gold sales at the time. I supported his album, the first time siding wit the Roc since the RocXLox Beef.

[@eibb5136]

He had a great first week debuted number 3 with 50 at the top spot. He sold 131,000 first week just couldn't keep the momentum. I remember the NY times wrote an article on how great that album was. If they had done some real promotion besides a commercial on bet that look like it cost $30 to make beans would've went platinum.

[@_unclecharles_]

its easily his best album. im sure if he wasnt locked up and able to do real promotion shows etc he woulda cleared a million easy.

[@TriplomatX]

It was just hard promoting an entertainer going to jail on a case he's guilty of. But damn that album needs more love. Dame Dash promoted his ASS off that album.

[@MrLEATHERFACE83]

This might be the only knock on Beans. Whether he admits it or not he picked a side

[@shawnwilliam1802]

Only problem with that was Dame kept calling Jay “My Artist” instead of speaking about him as a partner. Jay didn’t work for Dame, he worked with him. Dame was being too loud & making moves without talking to Jay & Jay figured out (With the help of sneaky Lyor) that he can make money without Dame & Biggs.
