"Look who everyone wanna be like? They wanna be like Kanye and Pharrell. Them dudes is not cool ...You wearing Louis Vuitton driving shoes. Like who does that in the hood? Who dresses like that? Silk shirts with the buttons and chest hairs all out ... You might as well come all the way out the closet homeboy."
Hip-hop outlaw Beanie Sigel on Kanye West and Pharrell Williams fashion sensibilities on 'Beef IV' DVD. (Nah Right)

Beanie, is extremly ignorant. his comments about Kanye, and Pharrell make no sense at all. He sound jealous of these two brothers Everybody is not into that ghetto nosense wearing white tee with your pant sagging off your ass with the timberland boots. Get a life beanie. how about you getting back into the studio instead of worrying about two very successful men.

Beanie Sigel is a washed-up has been. His one reason way teens are wearing white t-shirts down to their ankles. Real talk, grown men need to stop being ignorant and grow-up. This guy is about 30 something looking 50 talking about what’s hood and gangster, negro grow-up.

Beanie sigel is pathetic. The only place he's famous or infamous if you will, is in the hoods of Philly. People in other places think he's either dead or in jail. Based on this sad interview, it's easy to see why. Kanye and Pharrell are business men, handling their business and getting paid well to do so. Beanie on the other hand is ghetto trash who happened to get a break in the music industry for a minute and is now played out. My advice to Beanie: go back to what you do best, deal drugs, smoke blunts, hang on the corners and beat the women who bear your children.

When I was comming up,guys dressed for the ladies, not other guys.Beanie sounds more like a punk to me.I bet the ladies find Kanye and Pharrell cool and they don't have to be worrying about probation violations and ankle monitors.Hell you got more homosexual guys running around in "hood ware" than you can shake a dick er..er stick at.Beanie is too dumb to take his stuff to the next level so he wants us to all dumb down.I geuess that's what happens to guys that were reared by single moma's who didn't have the forsight to expose these guys to a positive male roll image.Now we get grown ass men acting like girls talking about some other man's clothes.Talking about the sissification of our males,damn?Real men don't like that.The older guys on my street would've kicked my ass,my dad,my uncle and any other man on my street would've kicked my ass until my nose bled if I had talked such girlie talk.These guys are immulating their aunts,sisters,mamas and grand momas.Female defense condition response is what I see and it makes my skin crawl.Grow some man berries dudes!

Wow, ok beanie, im from round the way too. North Philly to be exact. I feel you from a hood standpoint but homey it goes deeper than that. Let every individual be an individual. If Kanye and Pharrell wanna get fly then let them get fly in peace. They are in the public eye and they are rich so let them do them. It takes more than one style to make the world go round. You should acknowledge that. When you in the hood and on the corner then dress the part. But when you have millions in the bank and the potential to have any beautiful woman on the planet, then why not dress the part as well. Feel me???

Beans need to stop all that crying before somebody hit him in that other eye major, and what he need to do is focus on making a remix to that song In the Air talking about some club banger on Tigger that was the hit right there club or not when I first heard it I was laying down and I wanted to go get it right then. When I went to get it, picture it was not even on the Best Buy shelf and I still dont have it. That song was hot stop one thing he did that messed with me major was during the trial when they dressing all outside and stuff disrespectful major. That wasn't a time to joke, and he needs to man up and take life serious. If the remix is done disregard me, but I haven't heard it. Now let him come off vacation and deal with all this opinion. Until I hear a fly song from him again, his new name is One Eye Beans. (laughing)................

I am sure that Karu did not intend to demean Beanie by calling him an outlaw. Beanie either accepted it as a compliment or insisted that the word be used to describe him. Beanie's quote was intended to demean black people.
