“Well, Beanie Sigel, at the time — and you can look it up if you like, just to be honest — was driving two Bentleys. I don’t know how; it’s impossible to drive two cars at one time. With his momma in the sticks and selling 800,000 records, I don’t know what more you can do for somebody. What people choose to do when they attain of success … at some point you have to look in the mirror, and look at yourself. Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label, and a clothing line – and never went platinum, ever. I don’t know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little. I don’t even know what more can you do for a person at that point. A record deal, that’s normal. A record label and a clothing line? If that’s not pushing a person, then shyt…”
Nah you know he was suppose to take beans out of ANY jam he got himself in
Take care of that grown ass man until your in the dirt
thats a real man
And to be real thats the one and only time Jay just got sick of someone and their BS
he normally never talks like that
he must have loved beans for real but just got sick of it...

i think beans thought he could run crazy and jay would have his back ...but with all people their is a limit

"He could have remained a free man, and been able to keep up with the payments on his expensive shyt, but Jay-Z wouldn't vouch for him in court. Because you can get away with some crimes, if you happen to know someone who's spectacularly wealthy (I might need to holler at whoever really owns Harris Publications, if I get a DUI), the judge in his case offered to let Beanie Sigel go free, if Jay-Z promised to keep an eye on him. But Jay-Z wouldn't do it. The judge asked him right there in court, and Jay-Z was like, "Um, no." Damn. I mean, it's not like Jay himself stood to go to jail, if Beanie Sigel went on another one of his sizzurp adventures."
@ajnapoleon you don't know what's going on here, sit down
We just make any type thread about Hova lol
This man ain’t even really did much of anything over the past year. But yet there are a million topics on him here. If that don’t say dude is the goat.

If that was the first time beans was moving crazy I would understand
But its alot
Beans seems to like jail
I look at it like this
Beans got himself in jams
How many times did he expect jay to come though and save him
He even brought beyonce to court and stood trial for a guy she barely knew in beans
After awhile its dumb shyt
And even after that beans signed to rocafella for his 3rd album
Why is that?
Why do people get so mad when Jay dont want them around
But people claim he dont show love
Why would you want him as a friend so bad if he the devil?
Bo one can answer that
Cam nas fat joe jim jones the LOX etc....
All called him a snake but
They cool with now

I know these two were close but he should've had a song with him released before he passed away 
Jay made his entire camp millionaires same as 50. Even nowadays Jay is giving artists deals and making them control their own careers. We're still waiting for Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo or Young Buck to control their music careers in 2020. This is the reason why The Game outlived most of G-Unit.

Really out chea
He didn't publicly co-sign or work with any yungin that wasn't signed to him. Thus, he doesn't have a connection with the current generation because he was sort of standoffish. Look at Snoop, Yo Gotti, 50, Gucci and others as examples. They don't have that disconnect.
It was notorious that J. Cole couldn't get a feature from label head Jay and when he did once, it was a weak throwaway. The whole situation was a running joke back then.
Biggs and Dame has always said that Jay might get on a album cut but he refused to get on any of their singles.

Should Never Mention Me
Jay gave that man a world his own, he fumbled the bag and proved to be irresponsible, and now Jay supposed to sign up to be his babysitter...again. This is what it always go back to with these Jay versus his old sidemen debates. Exactly when is enough is enough, and at what point do these backup dancers hold any responsibility?

He did

Where do you dudes come up with this shyt? He featured on his first album, took him on tour (which to this day, Cole says was huge for him), and featured him on his own album.
Then why he was on singles for Bleek, Sigel, Amil, Kanye, and Freeway albums
So I guess Op never listened to Coming of age on Reasonable Doubt?

I was trying to see his angle
But you hit the nail on the head
He did work with younger artist his own
50 notoriously stopped g-unit from working with other artists
Banks said he was a huge fan of nas and fat joe but couldn't work with them because of 50
Meanwhile
Freeway
Bleek
Beans
Amil
Worked with others
Soooooooo
