Beanie Sigel's name derives from the street in Philadelphia where he was raised, "Sigel Street," and "Beans" is what people used to call him as a child. Beanie also founded the group and label State Property as well as the clothing company.
Sigel's debut LP, The Truth, was released February 28, 2000 on Roc-A-Fella Records. The album received a gold plaque for hits like "The Truth" and "Remember The Days" featuring Eve. His second album The Reason was released in mid-2001. The Reason was lighter material compared to his debut album and introduced the world to his own rap group State Property. Beanie Sigel helped launch the careers of fellow Philly rappers Freeway, Peedi Crakk and the Young Gunz.
Around 2001, Beanie Sigel and Jadakiss of the Ruff Ryders were involved in a beef that stemmed from Jada claiming rappers from Beans' home city of Philly were simply signed because they were a hot fashion among major labels, which to some extent was true at the time. Sigel took offense to this, and they sent several tracks back and forth. Eventually Styles P. (D-Block} and Jay-Z got involved, and Beans even called out DMX, who never responded.
The beef went on even after Russell Simmons, owner at the time of Def Jam (the label which Roc-A-Fella was under and Ruff Ryders was affiliated with through DMX) made the two declare a brief truce and Jay-Z apologized to Jadakiss and bowed out. Disses finally stopped flying after Sigel released a scathing diss track over Jada's "Put Ya Hands Up" beat, recalling when the LOX wore shiny suits in a Bad Boy video, among other things.
Sigel also was involved in directing his first movie State Property, the popular direct-to-video film produced by Roc-A-Films. The State Property clothing line was also created by Sigel.
The third album The B. Coming was released on March 28, 2005 under Dame Dash Music Group and features production from The Neptunes, Just Blaze, and Bink!, among others, with guest appearances by State Property, Redman, Snoop Dogg and usual suspects Cam'ron and Jay-Z. The album was recorded in the weeks between his sentencing and imprisonment and was released after he was locked up; he was released a few months ago.
While he was in jail, it is said none of the State Property members except for Oschino Vazquez came to visit him. He told Dame to pass the word on that State Property was no longer in effect, until after he was released. When the split between Roc-A-Fella owners occured, Dame made it clear that Beanie's intentions were to move State Property to his new Dame Dash Music Group.
However, all members except for, again, Oschino, chose to go with Jay-Z. When questioned, they claimed they were signed by Jay and never needed State Property or Beanie Sigel to make them popular. When he was released from jail, Beans had a few choice words for his friends, claiming "I still love them like brothers...I just don't know if we can make music again."
It was thought that Beans had chosen to sign with Dame; however, this is unclear, as he was present at Jay-Z's I Declare War concert in 2005, and has said he now has his own State Property Records under Jay-Z's Def Jam.
In September, 2005, a jury acquitted him of charges that he nearly shot to death a man on a crowded city street two years ago. In August, Sigel left federal prison after serving nearly a year on a federal weapons charge that stemmed from a 2002 traffic stop in Philadelphia.
Sigel also has fallen behind in child-support payments. He was briefly jailed in November until he paid $27,000 in child support and $2,000 in fines, but seems to be paying off his debts.
With the case behind him, Sigel now plans to "make music, make movies and work on his clothing line," said his attorney, Fortunato N. Perri Jr. The case was the last in a series of criminal charges against Sigel, who has a long arrest record dating back to his days growing up in South Philadelphia.
On Tuesday, January 10, 2006, Sigel was convicted of assault for a fight in 2003. He agreed with the prosecutor's version of events, and was convicted of misdemeanor simple assault. He was immediately sentenced to two years probation plus $180 in court costs.
The charges stem from an argument between Sigel and a man who said the rapper punched him in both eyes, breaking his left eye socket, during a January 2003 argument outside a Chinese restaurant.
Beanie Sigel is the co-creator of "The Playpen", a new animated series with writer/producers, Brian Ash and Myles Reiff. The show follows the misadventures of a group of hard-headed tykes in a maximum security daycare center called, The State Nursery.

Expose your lies and raid your location disguised as a detective
Got you cuffed bout to show you what this tech will do
I have you arrested and I'm about to demonstrate the power of this gun

We Jackers
We are robbers
We want the money that's what we after
Our main goal is to acquire money
We want the package
We want the illegal substances
Under the god damn mattress
Hidden underneath the mattress
And if the brain splatters don't matter that's what we practice
Even if there is a violent outcome, it doesn't bother us because we are used to it
Blast the rocket
Fire the weapon
Knock off your leg
Shoot and cause severe injury to your leg
Tear through your forearm
Shoot and cause severe injury to your forearm
Sit you in a chair make your niggas call you short arm
Leave you disabled and dependent on others due to your injuries
Pellets in your hand
Leaving small metal projectiles in your hand
You'll never put shorts on
You won't be able to wear shorts because of your injuries
Ain't shit fair when you got to get your war on
In times of conflict, fairness goes out the window
So why don't you come out and play
Why don't you confront us directly?
Make my mother fuckin' day
Give me a reason to be excited
Y'all niggas cotton
You guys are soft
Potatoes like augrotten
Weak and easily defeated

To hit your stash and leave you rotten
To rob your stash and leave you in a disadvantaged state

I have your ass plugged up to all types of shit
I have you cornered and trapped in various unfavorable situations
And I show you dog how your life can get
And I will demonstrate how your life can turn for the worse
And every thing all real fuck what you might can get
Everything here is authentic, disregarding what you would expect
Cause nothi'n needs to be said something needs to be done
There's no point in talking, action needs to be taken
B give me a cigarette I think I need one
Beanie, give me a cigarette, I think I need to relax
Cause in bout 15 seconds I'm a set the motherfuckin' alarm off
Because in about 15 seconds I'm going to cause chaos
And shoot this motherfuckers arm off
And shoot this person's arm
You niggas better smartin' up
You guys better wise up
Act like mac won't come through and spark shit up
Don't assume that I won't cause trouble
Where the fuck you get heart from
Where did you find the courage?
Little bitch ass nigga started commin' out the fuckin' dark from
Cowardly person suddenly shows up from hiding
I done told you I'm the only nigga pushin' weight
I have already mentioned that I am the only one involved in the drug trade
And for another nigga to try to take my place is in the wake
For someone else to attempt to replace me would result in consequences

If your community is making substantial money, I want to be involved
Run it in
Seize control of the situation

I'm Through I'm tired and I'm out this motherfucker
I'm done. I'm tired and I'm leaving
Yo I spit so real so my boys can eat
I rap with such authenticity so my friends can benefit from my success
You got the nerve to have a deal and just noise on beats
You have the audacity to have a record deal but produce subpar music
Little suburb nigga never saw the streets
You're a sheltered person who has never experienced the urban environment
Silver spoon ass nigga never drawed your heat
Privileged person who has never had to use a weapon
I keep it the truth what's all the fakin' for
I always tell the truth, so why are you pretending?
God dam every week I got to break a jaw
Every week, I find myself in a physical altercation
And you wonder why I smack up niggas
And you're surprised that I physically assault people
Shit it's either that or Macs gonna clap up niggas
It's either I use my fists or my guns to harm people
What y'all want me to do hun soften up
What do you want me to do, soften up?
so my raps can start to soften up
So my lyrics can become less aggressive
Shit never that
That will never happen
Dog forever my Beretta cat

Hittin' niggas in they fitted cap where the letters at
Targeting people by shooting them in their fitted caps where the letters are

Recognize hottest thing in a booth in here
Acknowledge the fact that I am the best in this recording studio
The Gooch in here
I'm here, the Gooch is present
H4y yo it's over in here
Hey, it's all over here
God damn somebody bring me some juice in here
Someone bring me a drink in here, for god's sake
I used to be a drug dealer
I used to sell illegal drugs
Hangin' in the cut sellin' dime rocks
Hiding and selling small quantities of drugs
Gettin' cash to eat with
Earning money for day-to-day expenses
Punchin' a time clock
Working a regular job
In the ghetto makin' small change
In the impoverished neighborhood, earning very little money
Slingin' till the sun up
Selling drugs until sunrise
Got to pay my phone bill focusing on the come up
I need to pay my phone bill while working towards financial success
Got 6 shots numbers strait
I have a gun with only six bullets remaining
Crank bout 38
I also possess a .38 caliber gun
Big boys trippin' on me tryin' to nigga hate
Big and powerful people are angry with me, trying to bring me down
This 17 year old Tony Montana type
I'm a 17-year-old person who resembles Tony Montana
Ain't never did the killin' but still I'm lovin' the drama right
I've never committed murder, but I still enjoy the excitement and conflict
Undercovers pass by thinkin I don't know the truth
Undercover police officers drive past, thinking I'm unaware of their true identities
Makin niggas these offers they know these niggas can't refuse
I make offers to people, knowing they have no choice but to accept
