 What's The Reason for this album?
Submitted on: 2007-07-14 |

Beanie Sigel's first album The Truth was just that. Minus two songs it was Beanie's best effort at the time(The B-Coming being the best now). This album falls short for a couple of reasons. 1. The production was dry. 2. Beanie sounds pretty uninspired on here(with a few exceptions) 3. weak guest appearances(with the exception of Jay-z and Scarface). The Good: Nothing Like It was a good way to start off the album. Mom Praying with Scarface is a touching tribute to their mothers and I must admit that Scarface and Beanie are a kick a** combo. Still Got Love For You which features Jay-z is their explanation for Where Have You Been as Rell gives a pretty decent chorus for the song and What Your Life Like 2 is an awesome finish for the album because Beanie always excells when he makes his deep cuts. Honorable Mention: So What You Saying featuring Memphis Bleek. The Bad: I never liked his first single Beanie(Mack B****) and why would he pick such a weak single to be the first is very questionable to say the least. Get Down, I Dont Do Much, For My N*****(feat a wasted effort by Daz) and Think Its A Game(feat Jay-z, Freeway and Lil Chris) are all boring tracks that will work wonders for the most chronic insomniacs.
The Ugly: Tales Of A Hustler is butt and I dont know why the Roc signs wack signees like Sparks when songs like this prove that he is absolutely useless on the mic. Gangsta Gangsta(feat Kurupt) is Beanie's big offence and lazy rhymes like /enough with that cocky stuff/dont get smacked like a hockey puck/(come on Beans I know you can do better than that) make you wonder if he even tried to put effort into that song at all. Then again that's not his biggest offence. Watch Your B****** is! Man's World is another dull track with a poorly used James Brown(RIP) sample in the background as Beanie just spits with no effort. Bottom Line: The Reason is Beanie Sigel's worst album and how anybody can feel joints like Watch Your B******, I Dont Do Much and For My N***** is beyond me. Beanie apologized for this album before his third release came out and I heard this album way before that interview so I agree with him 100%. This album was not the best he can do but he shouldnt apologize because he made up for it with The B-Coming so all is forgiven. Just dont do it again. |

The Reason - why out fell off this one
Submitted on: 2006-05-23 |

| Not to sound too critical, but this one was rather dissapointing, compared to his first release, "The Truth", now he has given us a reason why this LP is not as equally impressive as his previous work. Although it didn't really dissapoint overall, there is enough material to keep you going, for instance the introspective ("Nothing Like It") or the emotion-filled ("Mom's Praying") and ("I Still Got Love For You"), but that's not enough to save the whole album. |

Mack knows what he's doin'

When I first heard this album when it was released, I remember sayin': ohhh sh*t. The Reason are "the reason" why I said it. It was a banger I blasted a lot, and still do. It's filled with great beats.
Sigel developed his own style, which he perfectionized, and when the production are matched for him, like on "Beanie (Mack B****), "For My Niggaz" and "Gangsta Gangsta", things can hardly get better. He doesn't always say too much, but his flow and the way he builds up the verses makes him unique. You pay attention when he raps, to put it like that. Beanie has his introspective moments too, on tracks like "Mom Praying" and "What Your Life Like 2". What's in common for almost every track are he's just being himself. He didn't make songs who didn't fit him. The production works nice with him, either it's funky guitar-licks or more bouncy Rick Rock beats. He was on point on his first record, on this he even got better. The only cut I ain't feelin' are "Still Got Love For You", with Jay-Z. On this song they used Isaac Hayes' "Ike's Mood", a sample which is played out for more than 10 years ago, and neither Beans or Hova sounds good on this beat.
There's no hits here, no Neptunes beats. This is Beanie's own words. You get good, old-fashioned gangsta rap. As you know gangsta rap sells like s**T. In conclusion, Mack knows what he's doin'. The Reason are great, one of my favorites back in '01.
