Roc-A-Fella rapper Beanie Sigel is busy prepping for the December 11 release of The Solution, the follow-up to 2005's gold-certified The B. Coming. In this SOHH exclusive, we talked to the Philly native about the lackluster debut of State Property cohort Freeway, what notable Roc-A-Fella producers won't be featured on his latest release and the meaning behind his album title.

B-Mac doesn't pretend to be humble when discussing his album title. The State Property founder says he's simply in a different lane.

"I feel as though it's 'The Solution' for the consumers to be able to buy a product and get their money's worth," he told SOHH. "And within the state of hip-hop now ... I think it lacks character. And the people that make these records, they really not individuals in hip-hop, they follow the trends. Everybody's followin' this one lane."

"There's two lanes actually," he continued. "Either you makin' the snap music with the dance to it or everybody's so gangsta they killin' everything, on every song. And I ain't with that, so I think this album might be my best body of work to date, as far as just the range where this album go at and the different avenues and different kinds of music I give you."

B-Mac apparently found his range without the help of famed producers Just Blaze and Kanye West, who did not make an appearance on The Solution.

"On this album I didn't get any production off of Just Blaze and Kanye," he said. "Kanye was finishing up his album and Just was busy on tour or whatever he was doing. I did go in the studio with Just Blaze but we couldn't find that record, that classic Just Blaze record. We tried but we couldn't get it."

Without help from Kanye or Blaze, Beans hopes his "different avenues" will lead to more impressive numbers than that of State Property brethren Freeway, who moved an unimpressive 36,000 copies of Free At Last in his first week, barely cracking the Top 50 at No. 42.

Sigel has no shortage of confidence in himself - or analogies to illuminate it - when it comes to accomplishing the task.

"I'm a relevant person in hip-hop and the consumer know when they get a product from Beanie Sigel they gon' get a full product," he said. "I think the state of hip-hop is in what it's in because people are not making them full albums that you could listen to from front to back and get them songs that's gonna stick to you. I think a lot of artists out here is like fast food, when you hungry you could run and go get that real quick."

"You could go to Mc Donald's and grab one of them lil' cheeseburgers meals," Sigel added. "But soon as you eat it, you right to the bathroom, that thing gotta come outta you. I'm that home-cooked. I'm that meat and potatoes, that appetizer ... so people know when they get a product from Beanie Segal they gon' get full, grab a toothpick, they gon' lay back, finish eatin' it ... They know they gon' get the full package with me. So I ain't worryin' about that."
