Beanie Sigel Says: Beef With Jada, Not Over

Monday - August 20, 2001

by Nomatazele

It seems that despite efforts from Russell Simmons himself, the beef between Beanie Sigel and Jadakiss continues. After the two artists met in an undisclosed Harlem location and supposedly worked out their problems, Beanie Sigel said otherwise on Philly radio station Power 99fm.

Beanie called Power99 and said that he beef wasn't squashed for several reasons. He said that he refuses to let Jadakiss get the diss rhyme in on him. More important, he claimed that when the two artists agreed to meet in Harlem, it was far from one on one. According to Beans, Jadakiss came with 40 heads, as compared to Beanie's six.

He told the Philadelphia listeners that Jadakiss called to meet at a children's fundraiser in the part. Even still, Beans claims Jada's crew made in apparent that they were all packing weapons of some sort.

Beans said that while it is true that both of the artists did meet, the whole meeting was fake, doubting Jadakiss' sincerity to squash the beef.

Blind Rapper Supervision to Drop Debut Aug 28

Friday - August 17, 2001

by Kid Icarus

There's nothing unusual about the fact that LA rapper Supervision is dropping his debut LP on August 28.

There's nothing unusual about the fact that the album, called Supervision Presents 20/20, features Ja Rule and Bone Thugs N Harmony.

There's nothing unusual about the fact that he's on tour right now with Mystikal and Ginuwine either.

The only thing unusual about this up-and-coming emcee is that he's blind.

Supervision is out to teach the world that being physically blind is nowhere near as big a handicap as being like "these mentally and socially blind fools." He sends love and respect to women, something that is rare in today's Ross Meyer-esque hip-hop world, and has even dedicated his lead single Superstar to them.

Supervision was hit in the eye with a broken bottle at the age of six, and a subsequent infection cost him his sight. But that didn't stop him on his quest for emcee glory. One of his stops on the path to fame included an appearance in a battle featuring Eminem at the 97 Rap Olympics.

This rapper will not be stopped by his blindness. "I'm a universal emcee who happens to be sightless, but I have infinite mental vision," he says.

Ali of St. Lunatics to Drop Solo

St. Lunatics' rapper Ali finished work on his debut solo album last month, but there is no scheduled release date just yet.

A member of the St Lunatics, along with Nelly, Kyjuan and Murphy Lee, Ali will be the second of his crew to drop a solo joint. Nelly blew up the world with his Country Grammar LP last year. According to Rich Travali, who has mixed all of the St Lunatics' projects, including their recent release Free City, has said that Ali's album will feature more straightforward rapping, and less of the trademark melodic swing singing that Nelly fans are used to.

Jay E, who produced Country Grammar and Free City, handled all the beats for Ali's album.
