Product ReviewsReason by Beanie Sigel (CD, 2001)

Beans got the best. Killer beans, killer killer beans

Just another reason why Beans is probably number 1 in the 'never quite acknowledged as much as they should be' catagory. Understandably so as he had jay-z on the same record label but as far as album quality, for me he was always neck and neck if not ahead as his overlooked style adds to equation.

But what makes this album unique aside from the lack of 'roc a fella yall' over and over in comparison to his other albums is that the title really is a valid one in that each track stems from a part of his history and each track gets you engaged in a different way not just due to the lyrical versatility but also what an interesting person that manages to delve into their albeit far from perfect past with brutal honesty and even using a whimsical tone.
