Beanie Sigel - What You Talkin Bout (Average Cat)
Artist: Beanie Sigel
Producer: Harry & Alex
Album: Unreleased
Label: Ruffhouse/EMI
On unreleased cut What You Talkin Bout (Average Cat), leaked to the ‘net Friday morning of last week, Beanie Sigel spits “This ain’t a dis record, it’s a real record.” If you buy that, uh, I’ve got some Florida swampland you might be interested in. In reality, the track finds Beans venting at former label boss/ex-friend Jay-Z, delivering a litany of wounded but vicious criticisms over Harry & Alex slow-burning, piano-driven boardwork (featuring a hook sampled from Mobb Deep‘s Hell on Earth). In addition to addressing his financial treatment by Jay and Dame Dash during his time at Roc-A-Fella, Sigel airs a few more personal grievances, bemoaning Hova’s failure to visit or even send a letter when he was incarcerated under weapons charges – and, as if three rapped verses weren’t enough to get the point across, the rapper lays it all on the table in a lengthy monologue on the back end, stretching the running time to a hefty 7:07. Whether or not you sympathize with Beans’ gripes, it’s hard not to look forward to the potential response record; if and when Jay fires back, you can expect to hear about it right here at DJBooth.net.

Heard this last week..he clearly states his reason for the whole diss..I think it's justified..not even a diss..just bringing things to light.

You can call this record whatever you want to... nothing changes the fact that Beans nailed it. This brought me back. This is the type of record the industry used to fuel itself on for a few months. I'd love to see how this plays out. Good for Beans!

WOW! Jay says he doesn't fire back at dudes cuz "they're just beefin without a cause", or "they aren't near my level, why would I mess with them?" Well... by those standards you gotta fire back. I'm not saying it has to be a diss, but a response is needed, preferably on the mic.

I'm fascinated by the question of whether or not Jay should respond. To put it in "The Wire" terms, Marlo would definitely hit back without mercy, while Prop Joe/Stringer Bell would let it go, knowing that getting involved in an all out war with Beanie would only distract his attention from bigger matters. Personally I'm of the Prop Joe/Stringer school of thought, Jay's be better off letting it go, but I have to give Beanie props for his fearlessness. He came with it.

Assuming Jay-Z's response:
"Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, Teach a man to fish, he eats for a life, you lazy shit." |

From what I've heard happened, the record "seems" justified; Beans did nail it; I think Jay will respond though

I would have to say if anyone can make a diss track about Jay-Z it would have to be Beans hands down. I am feeling the track and not because he is dissing Jay but Beans is a dope rapper.

out of all the jay-z disses this year, this is easily the best and might be the only one to have a real reason behind it. when beanie gets it in, he goes hard and this is proof.

The topic alone is worth four stars. Beanz comes with it hard. Love the MJ reference (Annie r u Okay?). I like how he takes his time and put it all out there like he's being interviewed. Can't wait for the response.
