Music reviews of B Coming
Music Review: Beanie Sigel's best CD comes out while he's in jail.
Rating: 4 Stars
Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek were supposed to take over the Roc as soon as Jay Z supposedly retired years ago. However, while Beanie released better CDs than Memphis Bleek, his CDs were never classic material. He did have tracks like "Who Want What w/Memphis Bleek and "What's Your Life Like" which is my favroite Beanie track of all time, but "The Truth" nor "The Reason" were hip hop classics. Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek were always good on Rocafella collaborations, however. "4 Da Fam" was the best that I ever heard Memphis Bleek and Jay Z, Beanie and Mephis Bleek ripped "Murda, Murda (Marcyville)" to shreds because of the Scott Storch production. However, for some reason neither could do it on their own solo CD. With "The B. Coming", Beanie Sigel has finally brought what I had expected he could do all along to the table. First of all, it doesn't sound like any of the material was forced. On "The Truth", there was a track with Eve entitled "Remember The Days". It sounded like the track was made only because Beanie Sigel did a track on Eve's CD entitled "Philly, Philly". So "Remember The Days" didn't come off as tight as "Philly, Philly" did.
Beanie definitely wins with his reflections on his 1st single, "Feel It In The Air", w/Melissa. Heavy D, of all people, produces this track, who he originally gave to Black Rob, and Beanie reminds you of Scarface as he brilliantly reflects to thoughts that were going on in his head. This track starts "The B. Coming" off just right. Then things get even better on "I Can't Go On This Way" as Aqua gives Beanie a nice track to rip to shreds. His verse on this song gave Beanie a rhyme of the month spot in The Source, not that it means as much these days, and Beanie shows what he is capable of as far as his rhyme skills are concerned. The only let down on this track is that Freeway and Young Chris can't maintain the lyrical weight that Beanie establishes at the first part of the track. "One Shot Deal" is a song that features the Funk Doctor himself, Redman. The thing that I like about this track is that Beanie and Redman rhyme like this is their one shot to get a recording contract and they both come with lyrical firepower over the Bink produced track. "Gotta Have It" is a decent track but the song sounds like it's Peedi Crakk featuring Beanie Sigel & Twista instead of how it's supposed to be. Twista shines as usual and Chad West provides a nice change of pace track for this CD. The second single, "Don't Stop", features Snoop Dogg on the chorus and The Neptunes on the boards. Although, this track doesn't sound as commercial as most Neptunes' tracks do. Snoop chimes in with, "Now let's toast to the man, that when he gets out, that he can do the things that he's rapping about". Then Beanie makes things even better with the lyrics. "Purple Rain" features Bun B of the group UGK as Beanie and Bun B talk about on of their guilty pleasures. The two rappers collaboarate well together just as Jay Z and UGK did with "Big Pimpin'". If you do not own UGK's "Ridin' Dirty" and "Dirty Money", you don't know what you are missing. "Change" and "Lord Have Mercy" fall right in line with "Feel It In The Air". You can tell where Beanie's mind set was when he was making this CD. He knew he was going to have to do some time behind bars.
The song that is clearly the best track on "The B.Coming" is "Bread & Butter". I couldn't have imagined Beanie Sigel on a track with Grand Puba & Sadat X of Brand Nubian but where there is a Just Blaze there is a way. The song starts off with a sample of a man that is sarcastically talking about how his lover has treated him and then Beanie Sigel and Grand Puba take it from there. The best part being that Just Blaze incorporates Brand Nubian's "Slow Down" during the song. Anybody that is into old school hip hop will enjoy this collaboration. With "Bread & Butter" and Fat Joe's "Safe To Say (Da Incredible)", Just Blaze has 2 of the hottest beats out right now.
"Tales Of A Hustler Part 2" features Oschino & Sparks and is a pretty good track but the song sounds just like something that you heard on the 2 State Property soundtracks. "It's On" which features Jay Z is a nice track to have on this CD if you didn't buy the State Property 2 soundtrack. Jay Z and Beanie Sigel display the same chemistry on this song as they have on other Rocafella classics. "Wanted" features Cam'rom and although Cam'ron's lyrics have slipped for the most part as he follows his Dipset comrades he delivers one of his better performances on this track.
Overall, I feel that "The B. Coming" is Beanie Sigel's best CD. There aren't any aims to be commercial on this CD and Beanie feels as comfortable as I have ever heard him on a solo CD. Hopefully, he will be able to continue what he has started with "The B. Coming" and hopefully he has learned that he needs to straighten out his life and stay out of trouble. If you enjoyed "The Truth" and "The Reason", then you'll definitely enjoy "The B. Coming".
