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 He told Dame to pass the word on that State Property was no longer in effect, until after he was released.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.

I let you keep your girl
Bro, but with your boys, it's a no go
Throgh slugs at your wig, I get back at you
Knock your block off, smack up your kids
Make it like Shane-O, ain't no shame here
When your with your boys
I throgh gats at their ribs
Use guns that'll blow your brains to
The back of your wig
9 4 G pack on your porch
And in the back of your block
Now I'm 3, layed in the back of the Porsh
Stop at your block, make it like Nas
I make feends holler at moms
Philly niggas that'll dap the crime
Chilly niggas since we linked with Roc
You silly niggas
Not Philly niggas that'll squeeze the Glocc
Philly niggas that'll dab the gon
Chilly niggas since we linked with Jay
Ya'll silly niggas, south Philly niggas
We bust the K
I blast metal that'll go through your ribs
You faggot niggas straight go in a house
Blast an explosive
Bring you niggas straight out of your crib
Bullet fragments all in your
Mouth, face off, C4, that'll level you out
Fuck your stainless steal door, nigga
I'll metal it out
We got connects at the range, hot metal
We out
Connect the dot, say Bean, we level it out
Pushin beams through your window, scanning
Your house
We even scan when you standing on your couch
We in there, out there, like a robbery
Planned it out
Escape roofs, never land in the house
The big rumble snake moves
Niggas talk about when they get out
So if you scared, say you scared, is you in
Or is you out
Fuck the maximom pentimom house
I'm comin into your house, 2
Gats, me and Mack, gettin back
Philly niggas that'll dap the crime
Chilly niggas since we linked with Roc
You silly niggas
Not Philly niggas that'll squeeze the Glocc
Philly niggas that'll dab the gon
Chilly niggas since we linked with Jay
Ya'll silly niggas, south Philly niggas
We bust the K
The lyrics to "Philly Niggas" by Beanie Sigel and Freeway depict a raw and aggressive representation of their street mentality and loyalty towards their hometown of Philadelphia. The song speaks to their willingness to engage in criminal activities and retaliate against anyone who crosses them or disrespects their crew.
The opening lines suggest that when they come around, people should already know what to expect. While they may not interfere with someone's romantic relationships, they will not hesitate to confront and attack their enemies, going as far as targeting their loved ones and children. The reference to Shane-O is likely a nod to the character in the film "Belly," known for his violent and ruthless nature.
The chorus emphasizes their pride as Philly natives who have aligned themselves with powerful figures in the music industry, specifically Roc-A-Fella Records and Jay-Z. They distinguish themselves from others who may claim to be from Philly but lack the same level of aggression and willingness to resort to violence. The mention of "busting the K" alludes to their possession of AK-47 rifles and their readiness to use them.
The second verse delves further into their violent tactics, with references to blasting through ribs, using explosives, and invading homes. They boast about their access to firearms and connections at shooting ranges, highlighting their preparedness for any conflict. They assert their ability to infiltrate and survey their targets, even when they are supposedly safe within their homes. The mention of escaping on roofs and the reference to a planned robbery conveys their calculated approach to criminal activity.
Overall, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of the duo's street mentality, showcasing their willingness to engage in violence and criminal activities to protect their reputation and loyalty to their crew and city.
