When I heard BEANIE SIGEL say, during a recent interview, that he would not stop going in on JAY-Z until jay replies him, I knew he meant every word. The dude is not showing any sign of stopping; and the backing he has from 50 CENT just gives it that much velocity.
Beanie sigel recently commented on the remix of jay-z’s third single off of BLUEPRINT 3, “empire state of mind” which is rumoured to feature NAS. To his understanding, he believes that jay is just trying to stir up more controversy, or more like, trying to pull someone into the beef, without that person’s knowledge.
From Beanie’s analogy, he believes that jay would take shorts at him and 50 on the track, subliminally or directly, and then, because nas would be on the track, he believes that 50 and Beans would take that as offensive, and go against nas, which would start a whole new beef.
Well, those are sigel’s analysis; how true it is, we do not know. But if I were to analyse it, if jay was planning on dissing he and 50 on that track, which beans already confirms jay would do, then him having nas on it would definitely open up a new lane of beef, and then jay would just sit back and let someone else fight his war. That was what he did with his beef with JADAKISS; by pulling sigel into it, he didn’t have to drop any diss records. He did it with CAMRON too, when he pushed TRUE LIFE in front of cam.
We can’t say much for now, because the track is not even confirmed, but the rumours about is on about every hip hop site on the internet. I know that before long, probably in the next two weeks or so, we would get some answers, and know what is really on jigga’s mind.
I do need to add something, my point of view, to this whole analogy sigel has got going; that being that I do not think nas would respond to either him or 50. If that track ever drops, if it even exists, then I think that would be a big day for jay. I say this because it was rumoured that jay wanted nas on the original version, but he(nas) declined the offer. Nas was asked about this on various interviews, but he always seemed to skip the question. For this alone, you would know that nas is not really into doing this collaboration with jay; and if you do not know why I would like to educate you a little.
Without saying too much, I would like to tell you that nas has done this same “theme song for NEW YORK” concept 3 times during his career. 2 times on his first and third albums, “illmatic”, and “I AM”, and the tracks were titled “NEW YORK state of mind”, and “NEW YORK state of mind part 2”. Then, about 3-4 years ago, he did a third one, as a collaborative effort with RAKIM, and guess who was on the track? None other than yours truly, ALICIA KEYS.
Now, does the fact that jay’s “theme song about NEW YORK” is titled “empire state of mind” ring a bell? And then he went and featured Alicia keys, the same person nas used for his third version. I think this should tell you why nas didn’t want to be on the original (which is not a real original). I think at this point I can say jay stole nas’s idea; I can even go further to say that jay is a big nas fan.
I am sorry for going off the topic; back to what I was talking about. I said I do not think nas would reply beans and 50 if it ever happened that there is a remix of “empire state of mind”, and nas was on it, and jay dissed beans and 50; if all this were to happen, I still do not think nas would reply beans if he dissed him. I wouldn’t say nas is bigger than that, but I think nas is wiser than allowing himself to be caught-up in another man’s beef.
This whole beanie sigel 50 cent rampage has had a lot of people talking, and people are concluding that 50 is just using beans to get at jay. When he was asked, beans simply said, and I quote, “if he is using me, I am using him too”. I think that is a justifiable statement, because we all know 50 got the dough, and he can afford to push all sigel’s attacks towards jay in the best possible way, and also beans is getting all the publicity surrounding 50, whether negative or positive, at least he is being talked about. If the price he has to pay for all that is to backstab a former friend, who by the way does not regard him as a friend any more, then so be it. What do you have to loose from a so called friend who had you escorted out of his concert venue, by the police? A friend that would do the same, if it meant it would take him higher up the ladder of success; nothing.
