What stopped Beanie Sigel from reaching Rick Ross Status?

[ajnapoleon]

Skill
Mic presence
Story telling
Beans got Ross on the background



Beans should be where Ross is at....



Am I wrong?

Beanie Sigel

Beanie’s whole persona wasn’t a facade so he ran out of material. Ricky keeping the fairytales going

Image. Beans was always that rugged ass street dude that you feel could swing on somebody any minute. Ross presented that lavish lifestyle Basically the difference between a boss and a worker and usually the boss is the bigger seller.

 

[Chris Cool]

He had 0 charisma. Just a generic east coast street rapper.

It shouldn't be that big a difference


They both at one point was called the next B.I.G


One went way left


The other is renting his mansion to film movies

Nah Beans had some charisma

Ross had a mind for marketing and finance. He sold the dream so thoroughly that nikkas willfully overlooked the CO shyt and straight taking another mans name and persona. He understood the game he was playing. Beans was a street dude that could spit. He was still on some street shyt after he got on. He wasn't thinking about building or buying or 10 or even 5 years down the line. A lot of your favorite rappers fall into this category and that's why a lot of them don't have the staying power or money that you would guess they would have on the strength of their skills.

I think you are right Beans seems very short sighted

Weird comparison

Op bored ?

 

[newarkhiphop]

Beanie Sigel did.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

My favorite Beans story is when some nikkaz was plottin to rob Kanye and Kanye sensed it and called Beanie and Beanie came and told that nikka "nah, finish ya food and untuck that chain" on some "I wish these nikkaz would try that shyt when I'm here"

Beans

Beans stopped Beans, him and Suge are the biggest disappointments in Hip Hop (IMO).

Both of these dudes where given everything they needed to succeed but they couldn't get right. They both wanted the streets more than they wanted success in the music industry.

Beans was given EVERYTHING

Record label
Clothing line
Movies
Cartoons
EVERYTHING

Yet he couldn't keep his ass out the street.
