[Wee Bey gif] Wait, Sigel's "The Reason" dropped BEFORE Jay's Blueprint?

[TheDarceKnight]

The Reason dropped almost 3 months before Blueprint?

For some reason I thought that Dynasty was the only album anyone heard to get a taste of what Kanye West, Just Blaze, and Bink were about to serve up on Blueprint.

I forgot these classics dropped first:

"Nothing Like It" was the opening theme music to the movie of my life

 

[I love Latina women]

yeah, that album had some real great songs on it; "nothing like it" alone is just great

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Straight heat

 

[Billy Ocean]

Yea, I remember that Summer I was feenin to cop the album and then copped it first day. Got some real gems on there but I was disappointed at the time because I didn't think it was as good as the Truth. Matter of fact, I like the Truth and the B. Coming better than The Reason. Album still has some dope ass sh!t tho.

Nothing Like It

 

[Cloud McFly]

Was also disappointed it was nowhere near the quality of The Truth when I bought it, but it still has some heat on it.

 

[Farrinto]

This album was not that great to me but I like it better than The Truth.

 

[DAT NICCA KELSO]

Mom's Praying Im in love with 2 women/ the one that birth me and the one that birth her/know that you got to hurt me before you hurt her, hurt her or hurt them or hurt we.

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

There was was some rough spots but the highs was pretty good and I appreciated the rawness he brought. He would improve as an artist on later albums but I love the vibe for the most part on this album.

 

[Deadman187]

NO ID was on that album too

On a podcast recently Beans said that was part of why he had a hard time getting out of the streets. Said he never had dreams of being a rapper and at the time he was just looking at it like his current hustle, didn't realize it was actually a career opportunity, and was just churning out music while still on the block. He said if he'd get writer's block while recording The Truth, that he would just take an hour to go outside and drive or walk around the block. Then he'd come back and have stuff to say.

Was also disappointed it was nowhere near the quality of The Truth when I bought it, but it still has some heat on it.

Interesting. I always liked tit more than The Truth because I thought the production was a little more consistent, but I'll have to check The Truth again. Lyrically they were both about the same to me, I just liked the production on The Reason more.

Just listened to a podcast with Beans on it. He was saying he started playing that beat when he was really high and drunk, in the wee hours, for like 4 hours trying to get the words to it. He said no one else liked it, thought it was too soft, and kept trying to change the beat when he'd go to the bathroom or when people thought he was falling asleep. But he said he eventually caught it and recorded it in like 15 minutes.
