Beanie Sigel (born Dwight Grant on March 6th, 1974) is an African-American rapper from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, signed to Damon Dash and Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records in 1998.

Beanie Sigel’s name derives from the street in Philadelphia where he was raised, “Sigel Street,” and “Beans” is what people used to call him as a child. Beanie also founded the group and label State Property as well as the clothing company.

Sigel’s debut LP, The Truth, was released February 28, 2000 on Roc-A-Fella Records. The album received a gold plaque for hits like “The Truth” and “Remember The Days” featuring Eve. His second album The Reason was released in mid-2001. The Reason was lighter material compared to his debut album and introduced the world to his own rap group State Property. Beanie Sigel helped launch the careers of fellow Philly rappers Freeway, Peedi Crakk and the Young Gunz.

Around 2001, Beanie Sigel and Jadakiss of the Ruff Ryders were involved in a beef that stemmed from Jada claiming rappers from Beans’ home city of Philly were simply signed because they were a hot fashion among major labels, which to some extent was true at the time. Sigel took offense to this, and they sent several tracks back and forth. Eventually Styles P. (D-Block} and Jay-Z got involved, and Beans even called out DMX, who never responded.

Jay said himself "Beans I ain't trying to change you / just give you some game / to make the transition / from the street to the fame." Shit if Beans was smart he could have sold those Bentleys, got some cash off those, get a cheaper car, and go back into the studio to get more hits. If you give an artist that knows what he is doing a record company, he should be able to move a good amount of units. Add a clothing line onto that... Jay's not gonna respond, even if he does its not like it will gain Beans anything... Beans worked with Jay and couldn't get anything out of it, how you think he will do anything if Jay is dissing him? If it wasn't for Jay you think Beans would even be relevant enough to be talking to 50 right now?

Everyone seems to think Average Cats is a diss track, but it's not. It's Beanie being real. He's said in interviews it's not a diss.

Extremely great diss track, too bad Jay is the only reason this fool was ever mentioned anywhere, anytime. Jay gave him the plate, fork and knives and he couldn't prepare himself the meal. Wack.
