Beanie Sigel Rips Pharrell and Kanye West

Tuesday, May 22, 2007
By: Michael Ivey


Beanie SigelRoc-A-Fella Records emcee Beanie Sigel in a segment ofQuincy Jones III's new documentary Beef IV derides producer/rappers Pharrell Williams and Kanye West for promoting what Sigel views as implicitly homosexual imagery.

"Look who everybody wanna be like Kanye and Pharrell,"Sigel complains. "Them dudes is not cool; that's not cool to be in the hood. They whole image, who would wanna be that? You wearing Lui Vuitton driving shoes, who dresses like that?"

The Philadelphia native, whose first single for Roc-A-Fella ('The Truth, (2000)') was produced by West, pinpoints West's attire for the 2006 Grammy Awards, where he won three, as the most egregious offense.

"Who does that-silk shirts with the buttons,with the chest hairs out and all that. Who does that? [It's] like they trying too hard,that's not cool to be." Sigel goes on to imply that someone walking through his native South Philadelphia neighborhood dressed in such a manner might be attacked; "you liable to get something happen to you-yeah. You might as well come all the way out the closet homeboy."

Sigel, also known as "The Broad Street Bully," has made the news more for alleged and actual violence than music in recent years. He was in 2005 acquitted of attempted murder but convicted of misdemeanor simple assault in early 2006. Last Spring Sigel was shot and robbed in his native South Philadelphia. However, Philadelphia police were skeptical of Sigel's account of the events because there were no shell casings found at the scene and no witnesses were identified. Sigel's stepfather Sam Derry was murdered in Philadelphia a month after his 2005 acquittal.

The emcee recently reunited with Roc-A-Fella Records after months of taking a neutral stance in the Jay-Z/Dame Dash dispute, which resulted in Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke leaving the company they helped found.

Beans is another fake gangsta rapper tryin to b hard. Guess havein an iggnat attitude and a thug mentality is the only way to "keep it real". Gimme a break

Seems like a lot of hate to me. Beans looks like a broke ass bum, what the F*ck is he talking about. And i'm sure them cats not walking through the head dressed like that, they likely to be in jeans and sneakers. Beans needs to grow the hell up!!!

Beans is an idiot. Kanye gave him his first single and it was a banger. And dissing skateboard p. These guys don't do anything to anyone. They just be themselves. Most geniuses dress weird, according to the people. Prince wears heels, and gets more puss than any man in the world. Beans is mad because ye is second to jay at the roc. Beans dresses bummy and he's going down hill as an artist. He needs ye and p to get him some beats to get his career back in order. Quit worrying about how a man dresses and get his life together. I'm deleting his sht off my ipod for these shinanigans! well ye did the truth, so i'll keep that one.

Hip hop was never about bitin or lookin like the next man, it was about being original and doing you..that's what most cats have forgotten about

Posted by sweetness
I seen the video. He look depressed and unhappy. Hopefully dude get some help cuz he just sound like a hater now.
Posted by On da beach
Why hate on producers when all his cd's lacked production! dont bite the hand that feeds you and dont worry about what another man wears. What about camron and fatjoe for bringing back pink
Posted by bobby
I seen the video too. He do look depressed and sad. He must have issues!!!!!!!!
Posted by T-B
By his logic, it seems that he should look like he's broke all the time. That's unnecessary hating.
Posted by jonrud00
Ha, this guy is hilarious.....truthfully, i was feeling the comment above, kanye and pharrell don't come from the hood, (well kanye is from chi-town) but if they out of the hood, why should they dress like they still their, beanie mad his money aint as thick as these two brothers doin their thang.
Posted by Killah City Prez

Beans sound like a bit*h a$$ nig*a why is worried about what another man wears hes a washed up rapper he just mad hes jus mad that hes a fat dude and cant wear sh*t like dat
Posted by KING WILL
I think it's cute how when certain persons have a sense of "style", it's automatically labeled as homosexual. Trust. It happens with females too. I'm just suprised that out of all topics beans could have came out of the blue on, it's commenting about two guys and their fashion sense, which has been going strong for some time now. I guess when you been under a rock for such a long time, everything is brand new. Kudos to beans for at least not making a song out of it :) -pz>

Posted by STEVE10
Lol, beans been wack since day one, he is a prime example how a ignorant person of our race continues to try and pull another black man down from doing his thing, kanye, pharrell keep doing man, dont let this hater pull you down, and beans how about up lifting these brothers instead of trying to ruin them, see people its not the white man all the time, sometimes its the bitter black dude, lol, lets start calling beans uncle ruckus, lol, cause thats who he sounds like
Posted by slimcreepa
Man this is silly. Who made this idiot a fashion consultant. Sorry beans n*ggas are evolving. You can stay were you are at if you want. Niggas will keep changing, and 10 years from now you will be wondering why your career is in the toilet. I think you hate on something different, because you are affraid of change yourself.
Posted by Loque
I think beanie sigel needs to shut up because he is fading away into obscurity by the way kanye and pharrell dress progressive and you see they don't catch cases.

Not only is dude a!!hole he says to hom it is not cool to him idon't care if this n*gga freaking donatella versace he should'nt come at people that help bring him success hey by the way what happende to state property nas should have listed them in where are they now
Posted by High resoultion rap fan 1
Beans is so corny for that. He knows he has a few silk shirts in the back of his box. He really needs to just go back on the block because he can't rap. He is soooo damn sorry
Posted by higherlearning
Yo pharell and kanye be dressin fresh and n*ggas bape is hot n*gga idk wtf u n*ggaz is talkin bout beanz is a F*ck*n bum ass n*gga
Posted by fuck u niggaz
I seen the video of beans talking about pharrell and kanye. Even i heard it on the radio. I don't know why people talks about the way pharrell and kanye dresses. Beans probably hatin' on them because he dresses like a bum. But when cam'ron where all them fake pink furs i bet he wouldn't on him about dressing
Posted by THE DON
At this point maybe beans should've taken that g-unit deal...

That sh*t is real? bennie is a real dude,my n*gga is real and real people do real things...a yo jay whats good with da brake up iv'e been wanting to kno my self...yall need to sit and talk that sh*t out ya digg
Posted by billy da don
This stupid sh*t can't handle the fact that kanye made it 100x bigger than he ever will...maybe the dress of these two, and others, is not the most hood, but to call them two people who should just come out of the closet...that's something that a man desperate for some undeserved attention would say... -d-

Beans:damn i was wrong...i f*cked up...i love ye i really do...oh he's so sexy...i mean, scratch dat, dont show dat on the internet cause im hood remember...anyway when ye's clothing line comes out and he completely surpasses me-- ....huh, wat u say, he did, dang--...the producer says he alrealdy did surpass me...rell to? producer: yea... Beans: dang...well with both of them running circles around me, pharrell being out of this world, haha, u get it , cause he part of the neptunes, aaa dededee...--( producer: someone slap his dumba$$--.... Beans: my bad, remember im hood, though its funny cause no one visited me in jail except fo this buttercup dude name twan...fo some reason he keep stickin his mandingo in my booty and it hurt so good, um scrumptous... Dont let that get into the media...well wit both of them killin me in the game with their endorsements, exposure, publicity, record sells, girls on they jock...wait, why do they like girls...wait i like girls to, i think ...dont let this sh*t on the air...theres only one thing to do (boom) beanie kills himself...-- producer: hell yea, bout fu*ckin time, i guess no one will show up at his funeral either, hahahahahaha

Whats clothes got to do with it? i dont really feel bape but if that man do...thats none of my business. This publicity stunt aint gonna work...he done..finished.

Beans is jealous because he knows he'll never sell more albums than kanye or pharrell!! they have their own style and aren't trying to be like anyone else. He'll be begging kanye and pharrell for beats when he gets ready to do an album.
Posted by mysterious
Ew that n*gga hatin so hard. Kanye was hookin beanie up with beats back in the day!!! people got they own style. Niggas is tired of that same ol hood sh*t. Why cant people grow outta that?!
Posted by A.Miles
I dont think they faggot but that anit gangsta they doing there thing. But just like beans said you want catch a from the streets dress liked that on the block

Would it be better if kanye showed up in state property, looking like an illegal immigrant construction worker?
Posted by MOP

Beanie seigel who in the blue hell is that, yo that cat's a straight bum. A left hand man at best, F*ck*n beans should start another clothing line. Bum wear, cause thats how that cat roll. Lookin like a F*ck*n bum.
Posted by Bato
Beanie you really need to stop haten for real. What wont kill you will make you stronger.you really going dow hill so what you need to try to do is start kicking and pushing you way back up hill.cause you is washed up and piontless. Who cares what someone wears if you really be payatition to what other dudes wear........unless you a fagite

Who really cares? both of them make so many good beats.
Posted by Adrien
Yo what's happen beans is fake boi; how can diss pharell . This negar is bad a** jalous his real name is broad street bullsh*t
Posted by B.I.P
Listen, i love where i'm from and everyone should but i'm very familiar with philadelphia. And the block that teanie seagull is from is no joke. It's actually quite depressing and that is why teanie is depressed. To hate on those dudes and to hold them to a grimey north philly standard makes no sense at all. I'd rather be flashy like those dudes than be from that ugly old run down area of philly. And also, teanie would kill those guys on the street but who cares. Kanye grew up with a nice family in an okay chicago neighborhood. Good for him. And pharell is a drumline kid from va. That n*gga is secure enough to wear his high school band jacket in a video so try not to hate teanie seagull. It rolls off their backs for real!
