Beanie Sigel To Jay-Z “I Ain’t Your Average Cat”
Oct 30th
This morning Beanie Sigel premiered his new diss track airing out his dirty laundry and clearing his chest against Jay-Z. The 7+ minute song, “Average Cat” goes in and talks about the BP3, Memphis Bleek, street cred, jail time among other things. I’m not sure how to feel about the record, it seems that Sigel held back a lot.
While one part of the song talks about an incident atthe 9/11 concert:
“The rapper Shawn called the police on me/cause I was front row at the Blueprint 3. S**t, I just wanted to see him MC, and reminisce on when we was the R.O.C./But he called all the C.O.Ps, not only that, he brought out the F.E.Ds/So that’s telling me ‘F You Sieg,’/so F you too and F Bleek three.”
By all means the record ends to be a slap in the Jay-Z’s face, but by the end of the cut Beanie tries to rub the sore spot saying:
“And don’t get it f***ed up: this ain’t the green light for everybody to start making diss Jay-Z record. I still got love for the n***a. This just me taking my brother out in the yard for 5 minutes.”
My thoughts: Go Hard or Go Home!
I think above the beef, the Wall Street Journal attempted to cover the story! Talk about what the WSJ deems newsworthy these days…
I can’t.
I cannot
I refuse.

Jul 24th
With Blueprint 3 scheduled to drop September 11th of this year the singles are rolling out very nicely. First, Death of Autotune and today’s release is Run This Town feat. Rihanna and Kanye West.
Feel it coming in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere

Can’t be scared when it goes down
Got a problem, tell me now
Only thing that’s on my mind is who’s gonna run this town tonight?
We gonna run this town…
