A lot of the best album material had been recorded for years, I remember I was panicked when Sig picked up his cases that summer, because I was anticipaitng this album, more then anything, more then 'The Black Album', Beanie was my favorite, and I remember they previewed tracks like 'I Can't Go On This Way', and 'Purple Rain', I had that 'Wanted' on a mix cd, without the Cam'ron verse....just Beanies first two. His arrest delayed and definitely impacted this album, I think it came mostly together in the end, though. The Snoop track was filler, but it's a classic, or close to it, for Sigel/State Prop fans....His defining work, without a doubt...

'Tales Of a Hustler 2' is chillingly and beautiful in it's despair, 'Change' is perfect, as a remorse tinged letter of explanation....it's a really introspective album, esp. if you know the life....

its crazy how beans got a lot more shine with this album than he did on rocafella.

okay budget and everything.

its a shame dame's label didn't stay afloat. chit had me thinking that the oschino & sparks album was actually gonna drop. I WAS READY JACK.

A personal classic. I think it's his best project. I almost gave up on Beans though after the Reason. That album was such a huge disappointment for me.

The album is very good. Rocafella was breaking up, Beans didn’t get the real promotion and push he should’ve gotten. His legal troubles kind of hindered this album from being pushed.
