  Cokemachineglow.com - Beans: Shock City Maverick
The album fails mainly in its inability to set itself apart; for a Warp release it’s dull, Beans isn’t enough of a rapper to carry the show by himself, and the beats feel like they would have been interesting if they didn’t just remain stagnant through pretty much every track.
As a rapper, Beans seems sort of just like an annoying seven year old stuck on fart joke mode: the scatological and vaguely homophobic seem to be his specialty.
He’s able to set up some reasonably interesting beats, but after three or four monotonous minutes they seem a bit less inspired, not to mention that they all seem to be relying on the same basic electro-tweaking and simple syncopations.

And though it's true Anti-Pop will attract what rapper Common has dryly categorized as "coffeehouse chicks and white dudes," their alternativeness has nothing to do with target audiences but wells from the music itself, a freaky subversion of rap paradigms that's arty and dope at the same time.

 Beans: Tomorrow Right Now: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
On "Hot Venom", Beans spits, "King Daddy, disco rad/ Totally tubular.../ Y'all need to quit like Nicorette." And with America fully thrust into popular aesthetics of the 1980s, it's debatable whether dropping the words "totally tubular" and showing an affinity for neon is nostalgic or terribly cutting edge.
The single-- and the track in which Beans states his mission of intent-- is the incredibly def "Phreek the Beat", a pared-down mash of island flavor with a true-school-styled lady singing the staccato pre-chorus.
On his solo debut, Beans twirls and stretches his language, depicting the life of a poet-rapper, heavy on non-traditional boasts and battle rhymes.

Born Dwight Grant, Beans -- as he's known back home on South Philly's Sigel Street -- single-handedly put the City of Brotherly Love on the gangsta-rap map.
Making matters worse, Sigel -- who was convicted of dealing crack in 1995 and was still on probation -- had fled from the cops, tossing a loaded handgun out of his car window along the way.
The rapper received a year sentence on October 8th, and this may only be the beginning: Sigel still faces an assault charge stemming from a January 2003 incident, and is expected to face a retrial for an attempted-murder case that ended in a hung jury last April.
