Jay x Beans: The Best of…

I think the chemistry between Jay and Beans is undeniable.  They seen like brother’s from another.  Both talking that coded language.  One talking speaking as a boss and the other from a grimy/street cats’ point of view.  Either way…both cut from the same cloth.

To me Beans has always made Jay step his lyrical game up.  Listen to a Jay/Beans song and tell me that Hova’s flow, focus, and bars are a little sharper when alongside Sigel.  I think Jay has a  healthy respect for Beans and how he gets down on the mic.  As you could tell on the previous post I believe Beans gave Jay a run for his money on The Dynasty: Roc La Familia album.

We put together a Best of…with Jay and Beans for you all’s listening pleasure.  Nothing new here, but good old classics.  Everything under the hood.

    I like how this ended with “What We Do” because that song comes to mind when I see the product around Jay.

    I know Free is in there too, but the song as a whole elevates simply because of the caliber of rhyming tied in with the beat. It’s a marvelous marvel.

    Then again, I think a few of these are kinda wack, but I’m not the biggest Sigel fan. He has a lot of moments though

    Sigel rarely has bad bars.

    Dope set!! I was always waiting on that Scarface, Jay and Beans project that they talked about putting together. Add Face to the mix and the chemistry seems to get that much better. Great job, guys. GOD BLESS

    I should have added “Gutted” to his list as that is a dope song. Jay kinda gets at Cam on the song in his subliminal way.

    I really want to put together a post of Jay and Beans “beef,” but two of my favorites. Probably soon.
