50 Cent Met With Beanie Sigel

At the Macy’s flagship store, Curt lets Sha know that he did meet with Mac, but isn’t rushing to sign him to G-Unit.
“I had a meeting with him today. First we gotta start with the music —where’s the music? Then we have to get into what it would take to bring him over to G-Unit as a record company. You can’t sign a deal in a conversation — it’s a process. We’ll see what happens…I would listen to what he has. His skills haven’t diminished. Nine times out of 10, he’ll have something workable already on deck. When you’re dealing with artists who have been established longer than you, it’s a process. You have to figure out exactly where they are at before you commit to being a part of those projects, because they have habits and they’ve been conditioned for something different. You have to figure out exactly what that is before you dive in.”
Translation: Not gonna happen.
i didn’t even look like 50 was gonna sign beans in the interview…. niggas just ran with it
shifty words… this is the kind of talk politicians and job interviewers have to master.. all this “we’ll see what happens” bull shiiiiiiit
Beenie u know u done fucked up now? dont you?
Sign him to what ? This nigga has no distribution. Thats why he mad @ Jay cause he still work for Em and Dre and the big homie Jimmy iovine!!!! He can sign him to g-unit clothing and g-unit sneakers!!!!
@ YN…your right….”translation…not gonna happen”
how did beans fuck up? he wasnt fucking with jay in the first place,
he has nothing to lose.
and 50 is right, beans got the music,but his grind has to be on par with 50,
beans doesnt drop music enough unlike jada,styles,cassidy,etc.. i fuck with beans,but he be slacking somewhat when it comes to his grind,so 50 gotta make sure shit is right IF he signs beans.
Gotta give it up. YN called it from the start. Now it looks like Fif himself is trying to slowly break the news that he’s not that interested. Good call my nig.
But I guess he could just be trying to get some bargaining leverage though . Remember when the rumors surfaced in ’05 Beans said he wouldn’t be another label’s artist again ? He wanted a joint venture at least ? Fif isn’t doing that . He might be bringing Beans back down to earth so he can sign him for peanuts if at all .
“A ounce of truth, weighs more then a 100 pounds of lies”. At the end of the day, hes still the truth. He can do Mr.scarface numbers forever. 300,000 here, 400 there. Do ya’ll remember Beans tracks? hes not talking out his ass when he said he went toe for toe with greats. “J-A-D-A pinkett to kiss. No matter how I think of it still think of a bitch, no matter how I switch it up still think of a actor!”. Come on. Remember YN, ya boy Jay-z signed. If freeway can mustard a deal, its safe to say beans is gonna be alright. I wonder if he can make a best of beans, put it out there to remind the masses…..gotta admit beans and brad album sounds alot better then FAB and neyo…dont you think?
i agree.
he probably wont get signed.
but its still a win-win for both sides. Beanie Sigel for appearing with 50 + getting the co-sign; and 50 for being in more news before his album drops. Beanie Sigel should take advantage of this publicity and drop some tracks, now !
Beanie is the type of dude who releases albums that you download without a thought of ever buying
Lol,if 50 signs Beans,I hope all u naysayers Carradine ya’llselves lol,and send the clip to RapRadar
MY QUESTION IS WHY WOULDN’T HE SIGN BEANS? …. 50 IS CLEARLY GOIN AT JAY RIGHT NOW.. HAVING BEANS SIGNED TO GUNIT AND HIM ALSO GOIN AT JAY HELPS 50’S AGENDA TO KNOCK JAY OFF… HE’S DEF’ GONNA SIGN BEANS.. IT’S JUST NOT GONNA BE TO A BIG DEAL.. IF YOU DON’T SEE THAT YOU’RE MORE OF A JAY DICK RIDER THAN THE DUDE WHO POSTED THIS SHIT
why wouldn’t he sign beans?
cuz beans is a lazy ass bum. i’m sure the meeting went “so…what have u been working on?” “oh…well, when i was at roc-a-fella, jay didn’t let record so i don’t have many records, um”
blah blah blah. 50 said himself beans dont release music like others. in other words, “nigga you ain’t comin to g-unit with your bullshit slacking. we grinds over here…and i’m the fucking boss, i don’t care if u have been around longer than me. you don’t ‘generate interest’ like i do”
smh beans lost.
^
As much as i like Beans’ music, from a business prospective, it’s too risky. Beans keeps getting into trouble and that’s bad financially. Plus, Beans’ music isn’t being embraced how it used to. I STILL love it, but for these fanooks out here, it would be considered niche. I don’t know, we’ll see how this one pans out.
@versecutta
i’d say beans had his image to lose. lost it. his dignity to lose. lost it. his brand and relevance to lose. BEEN losing that with the release of his last two flops. etc
all this “way back when, jay did me sheisty” shit that cats like jaz, dehaven, klein, beans, etc keep trying to do to jay just ain’t gon work. diggin in the crates like “oh in 95 jay jerked me, i lost respect for him as a man”. unless this nigga jay-z gets caught with his hands in the cookie jar, or he loses his composure and ether’s himself (ain’t gonna happen), ambassador HOV is gon’ keep climbing.
in this race to a billion, got my face to the ceilin
got my knees on the floor please Lord forgive him
has he lost his religion, is the greed gon’ get him?
he’s having heaven on earth, will his wings still fit him?
-jigga
@b.dot
exactly. yes, the nigga can spit. but his ship has sailed and ain’t no rejuvenating that. no comebacks. hell, artistically, 50 is on his way out of relevancy. so beans definitely can’t survive off the g-unit brand the way he did off the roc. 50’s all about numbers. dollar signs…the chances that this deal could be lucrative in the next 2-3 years are VERY slim.
Unlike 98% of rapprers in the hip-hop game, Fif’s a businessman. It’s the main reason why he has more money than 98%of the cats in the game. He has definitely made some mistakes in his building of G-Unit, but makes the right decisions most of the time. So whichever way he goes with the Beans situation, it’ll be right on and well thought out. But offhand, I think he should just step away from Beans completely. Go discover a new artist, 50. Sigel was good in his day, but from a sells aspect, he was never a platinum artist. How many units would he move today? Not many…
@Nathaniel
But isnt being able to rap what counts 1st? or should? Beans still has a story to tell thats more authintic then most “rappers” (rick ross). Its relivent because you still dont know the ends and outs. Buddens got a lane thru mood music, but beans makes REAL shit. I can play “where you been” and “still got love for you”, you could get a better understanding of them/us. He can put a song together “whats your life like part 1 and 2”, “Die”, “Mom praying” “nothing like it” “bread and butter” “Feel it in the air” “purple rain” fuck the whole Dynasty album should be called the beans and jay comp. He was on damn near everysong, even had a solo on there. I know its a business and the soultion was garbage but if tech-9 can have a budget and fanbase, you cant tell me theres no budget for beans?
“Play your cards/ go againest all odds, Shoot for the moon, if you miss, YOU STILL AMONGST THOSE STARS”
Shit, YN put him on the Cover Twice, with no platnium album. someone wanted to see him, pause.
Beans got a base, 400,000 sold each time out, and he’s got a market that Fif has had trouble sellin’ in, Philly. Jay always got Philly sales bcuz of Sigel and the Prop. Plus its comin back to actual talent! Mack has talent and creditbility. Name good in every hood!

Once…but that was cause he had JUST came outta jail…every other time had Jay with him.
^ Jay always got philly sales bcuz of sigel and the prop? that’s a lie!
Jay always got philly sales without sigel
and for beans…. Translation: Not gonna happen. nuff said
@ Dope
I was a store mgr for Coconuts Downtown on Chestnut Street (old record store) at the time, Jay Philly #’s spiked crazy after Mack signed. “Men lie, women lie, #’s don’t.”
(PS if u talk to local DJ’s they’ll tell u that that was the reason Baby signed the Figgas way back when. He wanted to mimic that spike)
Once a snitch, always a snitch. 50 was feeling him out, and he now knows Beans is a snitch. So what’s to stop Beanie Sigel from dissing on 50 in a few years?
But didn’t 50 kind of imply that Beans was coming to G-Unit during the Powerhouse interview?
why is nobody mentioning the obvious? Two groups, Mobb Deep & M.O.P. Both thought that signing to G-Unit was going to be that move to make them the shit again. M.O.P. couldn’t even get an album. Scratch that. They didn’t even set a single. If Beans signs, he can expect to drop even further off the face of the earth. And don’t expect to see any bitching then. He’s best bet is to take the Freeway approach and just work with what you got. What is done is done. The ROC ain’t coming back. Stick to working for the fans you have and quit trying to be the A-lister you never where.
@Cat
Snitch? Stop it! Jay left him high and dry w/o even a phone call. When did calling a sheisty dude, a sheisty dude become snitching? Jay called the law not Sigel.
@b.dot
Your really gonna count the one where Jay-z in the background wit a hat big as life over his face, chillin in the corner as a “joint” cover? The reason was coming out, he had beef wit lox. Beans was buzzin at the time. Still didnt answer my question about tech-9’s, rhymefest’s of rap. who dont do Main-stream rap but its ok because they have the fans.
No shots
Ugh…. maybe he just doesn’t want to say anything until this album drops and he is released from his Interscope contract? It doesn’t make sense to make a premature announcement when he is preparing to sign a new deal for G-Unit…
JihaD
@pro-rican
wat u mean freeway beeeen signed
cash money records
I’M SICK OF THIS LAME STORY!!! FIF AIN’T GONNA SIGN BEANS!!!! BEANS IS GONNA KEEP GOING BACK TO JAIL!!!! AND JAY IS GONNA KEEP IGNORIN’ BEANS!!!! AND FIF IS GONNA KEEP TAKIN’ JABS AT JAY!!!! AND JAY GONNA KEEP IGNORIN’ FIF!!!! END OF STORY!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
shit musically neanie is terrible rite now that last album was trash and his core fans aint that big if it didnt do numbers some niggas do good numbers becuz of core fans like triple C’s aint no way that music they released should have sold 12,000 if the new boyz is repping a whole movement and got a banger on the radio top 40 and they only sell 9000 records 1st week aint no way Triple C’s should be selling 12k no way that riccy core fans rite there they will buy anything that nigga has his face on it can be a blank disc with his fat ass grimace looking face on there and it will sell at least 10 k same thing with wayne drake this nigga released a disc that was free and still sold like 75k 1st week now Beans released a shitty album and only garnered like 22 k 1st week and he signed to the same distribution as Triple C’s
Beanie was ricc ross until ricc ross came in the game he was the fat nigga that can spit and everybody dont even care about his appeal but the fact that you on album what 4 or 5 and you still saying the same shit
truth be told, beans is a talented emcee, DON’T HATE! but his run ins with the law & his lack of motivation has continued to hold him back! GET YOUR MIND RIGHT BEANS, MAKE THIS SHIT HAPPEN FOR YOURSELF! you got the talent…
(side note) dissing jay was WAY left field though! that should’ve been kept behind closed doors. made beans appear to be in a bad place with a sour taste…
