In this VladTV Flashback, Beanie Sigel started off reacting to Jay-Z saying that he'd go down as one of the greatest artists of all time like 2Pac, and Beanie didn't give a definitive answer on how he felt. From there, Beanie spoke about why he decided to battle Jadakiss, and he explained that he felt like tension was brewing between Jadakiss and Jay-Z. Beanie revealed that Jay had gotten Jadakiss bumped from R. Kelly's "Fiesta," which led to the tension brewing, and Beanie felt that was a good opportunity for him to step in and make a bigger name for himself with the battle. Beanie then stated that the two of them spoke about having a lot of respect for one another, which is why things didn't get "ugly" during the battle.
