I was originally going to ask this to someone who interviewed Beans but I feel like this site has so many people on it that are knowledgeable that maybe someone knows something and can enlighten me.

On "Average cat" and even "big payback" Beans alluded to dissing Kiss, Nas, and Dipset for Jay. With Kiss we know that the "empire strikes back" freestyle over put ya hands up is the Jada diss. Also the hot 97 freestyle by State Property opened up with Beans spitting over the special delivery beat dissing Nas and Kiss yet again.

He also dissed Kiss live on stage in a freestyle after kiss did it earlier that night in philly.

On the "show must go on" track with the Queen sample Beans seems to be critical that Roc is so divided now. Rather than take a side it was more of a "I'm ashamed we are so divided now" type attitude. The whole time Tru and Bleek were dissing Dipset Beans was not seen working with or hanging out with them at all.

I remember Beans talking about Pharrell and Kanye looking in the number 1 video during an interview but never anything about Dipset. Even when Peedi started dissing Juelz and Jim started talking about Peedi and Bezel and Un Kasa started making disses on him Sig seemed quiet.

Before the solution dropped he said someone kept going at Hov and that he may go after them but never specified who. When "creep low" dropped some people assumed it was about Jim Jones but others thought it was aimed at Game because "my bytch" had just leaked. On the solution Jay's definitely going at Cam on his "gutted" verse but Beans doesn't seem to be. On "what they gon say to me" Beans said something about Sets to get to dippin but quickly said right after "no disrespect or pun intended" making it seem like backtracking. On that bout that let me know he was talking about rappers claiming they're "ballin" (he even does the adlib) but couldn't hit the shot. Some people think "go low" was about Dipset. Years later on the Max and French song whatchu want he was like "fukk if it's my beef any set can get dipped on"

Did Beans ever make up his mind whether or not he went at Dipset?

I was going to post about "Go Low", but you know every single record and the lines lol

He sends another shot on the Kiss collab from the 2006 Khaled album, or maybe its his solo track Before The Solution.

2007 and 2006, the last days of Beanie, and the Roc, the beginning of Wayne's ascendence, a very odd time in the game. End of Cam, end of 50, rise of Kanye.

Bleek also went at Cam/Dipset as far back as 2003, from M.A.D.E

You also have to consider that while Beans was loyal to a fault, he was torn between Hov and Dame during the split.

Hov seemed tight with Beans but during his legal trouble, Dame was the one out of the two to hold him down.

Dame is like an older brother to Cam so recordings could reflect who was on his good side that day.

It was always competitiveness between each of the crews ar Rocafella. Peedi Crakk talks about that and how Beans cracked a CD after hearing Cam's verse.


Beans also said "you dress cute when the war's on" on "It's On" and it was assumne to be about Cam.

I forgot who from Rocafella said it recently, but you gotta remember you literally got dozens of amazing MCs fighting to get in Baseline and get the best beats from Just Blaze, Kanye, etc. It was competitive energy that created classic music because it was no time to waste and they were fighting for attention.
