State Property and G-Unit — what an alliance. Those two logos could very well appear on the next Beanie Sigel album. "We definitely could do something like that," Sigel said last week of joining forces with 50 Cent. "I ain't mad at that."

There have been rumors that Beanie Sigel is next on the list of street-credible MCs to sign to G-Unit, and Sigel was ready to clear everything up. "We can talk," the acclaimed Philadelphia lyrical bruiser said. "We can do a co-venture. I can't see myself signing nowhere else as an artist. I got my own thing. But I'll definitely do business with him. I had a couple of conversations with 50 because me and his uncle were locked up together. And his uncle is a real thorough dude, so [50 and I] definitely kicked it. "His business sense is crazy," Beanie added. "We can definitely do something. I think that might shock the world."

Beanie already shook the game up once this year. He actually recorded a track with his one-time nemeses Jadakiss and Sheek Louch. Although the State Property/ LOX beef has long been dead, it's still amazing to see former foes unite — Jay-Z and Nas, take note. "They called me up and were like, 'Yo, we got something for you," Sigel said, explaining how he got on the track. "I was like 'C'mon, let's do it.' Then it was the remix, and I was like 'Oh sh--.' That was my sh--, too." "It came at the right time," he continued. "That was the only record I dropped since I came home. I thought it was just going to be a street record, but the buzz was so big they started thinking about doing a video. That'll be a good look right there."

Many are speculating that Beanie's scathing verse is directed towards the former members of State Property. Sig says let the people keep speculating. "They know," he said. "Whoever I was talking about, they knew who I was talking about." "When I did the verse, I just went in the booth and laid it down," he explained. "It was long, 24 bars. [The LOX] shortened it, I guess for the radio, and they played the real way how it go [on the mixtapes]. When I did it, it was just me and Sheek on it. I didn't know they was going to put Fabolous on it, then I heard Game on it. I was like 'Damn, they're doing the thing.' I thought it was going be just me, Sheek, Styles and Jada." Sigel is looking forward to making his own track or even his own mixtape soon. "I'm definitely going to put some sh-- together for the street real quick, but I don't know what I'm gonna do yet," he said. "Soon as I get in the studio, it's on."

Beanie says he doesn't plan on getting in the studio with the former members of State Property anytime soon, but insists that he has no hatred toward them. Sigel is, however, still disappointed in the collective. "I had a conversation with Freeway," he explained. "That's the only one who sat down and talked about the whole situation, what unfolded and what took place. I'm definitely still cool. ... It was just a lot of situations that went down and a lot of feelings came out. That stems from the Roc-A-Fella breakup, them choosing to go with Jay, which I had no problem with. I was upset I wasn't around to help them through their choices or help them weigh their options."
