| Say Whut? Beanie Speaks: |
Artist Links: |
On His Signing: "I didn't have to send in a demo or none of that. It was never my first interest. I would rhyme to pass time when I was bored, but I wasn't a hardcore Hip Hop fan."
On Roc-A-Fella: "Roc-a-Fella is a winning team, and when you're on a winning team, you always get a ring, even if you ride the bench. Only there ain't no bench riders on our team... we're all starters. We know it ain't about who the top man is. Everybody wasn't Jordan, but all the players on the Bulls got a ring."
On His Skillz: "I got lyrics for days. I write a verse, leave it alone, and come back to it later. I try to make that perfect rhyme, that's what I strive for. A lot of people [MCs] are just rappin'. I don't rap, I talk shit. It just so happens that it rhymes. I'm bringing nothing but fire. They call the fire department every time I leave the studio. I ain't even want those [skits] on my album. Get in the booth and acting. That's why I call my shit 'The Truth'. Real emotions, real thoughts."
On His Flow: "At first, I didn't like my voice when I heard it on tape. I wanted a more raspy voice. I didn't think it was strong enough. But then everyone else liked it, they say I sound like I'm from down south but I moved to New York. Jay-Z says I be killing 'em with that accent."
On Paying Dues: "Right now, since I never had a demo and I really didn't put in work as far as performing at the little spots or clubs, getting known in the underground, or rhyming on a lot of mixtapes, some might hate and say that I didn't pay my dues. To me, this album is my first demo to the world. I'm making history. I'm the first rapper to sell my demo in stores."
On His Nu Fame: "I love the attention, especially from the kids. When litle kids know your rhymes, you know you made it. If I could get away with it, man, nobody would even know Beanie Sigel. Sometimes I wish I never even showed my face. I wanna still be able to do what I do. Ride in the car solo, chill, go through any 'hood."
On His Future: "I got to do it all. I'm trying to have my own company, my own record label, all that."
