From The Vault: Beanie Sigel - "The Truth" [Video]

With a rookie Kanye West on the beat, Jay-Z cosigning, and the grit of Philly, Beanie Sigel was poised for the WIN.

The debut album was released on February 29, 2000 with strong effort from the good folks at Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam, reaching as high as #5 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Sold 155,000 units first week on the shelves.

Which series are you most looking forward to? Personally, I have my eyes set on the Grizzlies/Clippers match up. Of course, aside from the Sixers/Bulls, I firmly believe that series will be the one to watch, as All-Star Power Forwards, Zach "Zbo" Randolph and Blake Griffin engage in a head-to-head bout for the books. Just my thoughts though, feel free to share yours in the C-Section!
