The Truth Reviews:
The Truth indeed! 
2007-11-09 - There is two songs that stop this album from being a classic. Mac Man is garbage(the beat sounds like Pac Man on acid) and Playa feat Amil and Jay-z(failed club banger). Other than that this was a good debut from the Philadephia native. The Truth(his first single) starts off the album as Beanie rips it over a dope beat provided by Kanye. Memphis Bleek makes a decent appearance on Who Want What but Beanie stole the show. Scarface and Beanie are a superb match up and it shows in Mack And Brad). Jay-z makes another appearance on Raw & Uncut(decent) and his solo joint Anything(cool). Beanie also does well when he makes songs of substance like Remember Them Days(feat Eve), What Ya Life Like(which samples Hard Rain) and Everybody Wanna Be A Star(self-explanatory track). Beanie also knows when to switch up the flow(something alot of rappers have problems doing nowadays) on Stop, Chill. What A Thug About is basically explaining what a thug does. Ride 4 My and Die are pretty good tracks too. Bottom Line: The Truth is a promising debut for Beanie Sigel who is now a force to be reckoned with on the mic. The rhymes were good, the production was solid and the guest appearances were not shabby themselves. Beanie's flow is like vintage wine. It gets better with time. Listen to him now. He is a beast on the mic! Standout tracks: THE TRUTH, WHO WANT WHAT, REMEMBER THEM DAYS, MAC AND BRAD, WHAT YA LIFE LIKE, WHAT A THUG ABOUT and EVERYBODY WANNA BE A STAR.
the realest! 
2006-08-12 - This is Sigel's Best CD. The source gave his cd 4.5 mics! That should tell you something. Nas said it best Compared to bean's jay's wack!
Beanie Sigel - The Truth 
2006-05-26 - Beanie Sigel's (AKA Dwight Grant) debut album was "The Truth" (2000). Sigel has had lots of drama in his life whether being incarcerated, dealing with ongoing cases, getting shot in the arm (yesterday) or dealing with and ending Hip Hop beef's (IE Jadakiss). On the opening title track Sigel tells his audience what his life and hood is like. Thugged out collaborations with Memphis Bleek and Jay-Z follow. Sigel, Amil and Hov provide a bouncy club track with "Playa". On "Everybody Wanna Be A Star" Sigel reflects on the lack of loyalty people have, and how people are solely out for themselves. Sigels drops some real lines about remaining genuine on this cut. Sigel's collaboration with Eve is another standout, backed by some laidback production; the two celebrate making it from rags to riches on the heartfelt "Remember Them Days". Sigel calls out the fakes on "Stop, Chill" while giving props to those who keep it real. The south's best Scarface drops in for a grimy collaboration in "Mac & Brad". Sigels delivers another cut about the streets and himself on "What A Thug About". Backed by some stellar production, Sigel provides a hardcore cut with "What Your Life Like". Sigel shows his love and loyalty for his homies on "Ride 4 My". My favorite track on this release is "Die", Sigel drops raw rhyme after rhyme while talking about all the different kinds of ways he may die. Jay-Z's half-decent bonus cut "Anything" finishes this album off. I prefer Sigel's later album's all the same "The Truth" is a solid album; I am looking forward to Sigel's next release.
Beanie Sigel is the "TRUTH"
2006-05-23 - Whether or not Sigel or this album spits the "Truth" its forever inevitiable, but you can never deny his lyrical skills on the mic. Sigel has always been the more talented recruit from Roc-A-Fella. With one killer cut, ("Truth"), produced by Kanye West, Sigel shows why he's a premier artist in the Hip-Hop game. Although this album does have it's short comings like many Roc-A-Fella releases, but the one's that shoutout greatness makes it more worthwhile to purchase this release.
This cd is amazing!
2005-09-26 - Beanie Sigel is an excellent rapper. He flows well and every song on this cd shows that. Unfortunately, the best song on the cd is the first one. The Truth, produced by KanYe West is an incredible song with an amazing beat and Beans flowing so well that you wouldn't even think it was him. Every song after that one is pretty good as well. Who Want What, Raw & Uncut feat. Jay Z is another good one, and Mac Man is also very good. If you like the Roc, you should buy this, and also if you like gangsta rap you should get this.
