    Unbelievable Skills

    By Ashton  Oct 3, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Reason review helpful

    Anybody that doesn't feel this album obviously doesn't listen to real rap. I'm not talking about that Cash Money junk. I'm talking about real rap. Beanie Sigel is as real as it gets. His lyrics from the beginning of this album, to the end are unb...elievable. The people that gave him bad ratings don't even know what he's talking about in his songs. They're the type of people that listen to rap music only for the beat, and they just block out the lyrics. You people should not even try to judge music for the streets, because you don't understand music for the streets. Stick to your club going music. Read more Less

    great sophomore effort

    By Topaz  Nov 15, 2001

    i think this one is better than The Truth, and i wanna say that Just Blaze is my fav producer at the moment (listen to Get Down and u'll know why), and the ROC should stop Rick Rock from producing songs ever again (doesn't these songs sound very much... alike? same beat lower/higher bpm...change the game, parkin lot pimping, squeeze 1st, and in the reason...i don't do much, god doesn't he have any other tricks??)anyway, nice album Read more Less

    Arguably the hottest thing to come outta Philly since the Roots, Beanie Sigel had hip-hop heads from coast to coast bobbing along to the infectious beats and dark inner-city tales of his impressive debut, The Truth. But while emotional songs like "Mom Praying" make The Reason a solid enough follow-up, it essentially boils down to more of the same ol', same ol'. Sigel's familiar streetwise persona shines through on cuts that are more concerned with hustling and hanging out than glitz and glamour, but the repetitive tales of thug life and gangsterisms grow a bit redundant by album's end. The production is consistently banging, and songs like "Tales of a Hustla" and "Think It's a Game" (featuring Jay-Z) more than live up to the promise first glimpsed on The Truth. But ultimately, Sigel's sophomore effort isn't so much an artistic step forward as it is a step sideways.
