Beanie Sigel is an underrated rapper. He is a very gifted lyricist with a commanding flow. And his debut album, The Truth, is an impressive piece of work that got lost in the shuffle of Jay-Z's meteoric rise to superstardom. The title track is the first time I ever heard a Kanye West beat. And "Mac and Brad", where Beanie shares the mic with Scarface, is a flawless example of two emcees going back-and-forth on a record. Other highlights include "Remember Them Days" with Eve, "Everybody Wanna Be a Star", "What Ya Life Like", and "Die." In a nutshell: if you do not own this album, go buy it now.
