Famed 1990s Hip Hop record label Ruffhouse Records is back. The imprint that was involved in the careers of Cypress Hill, The Fugees, Kool Keith and Schoolly D has returned after over a decade hiatus. In a statement released yesterday (July 12), label co-founder Chris Schwartz announced Ruffhouse’s return with a Beanie Sigel album due next month. Schwartz also acknowledged the developing news of Beanie Sigel’s tax felony sentencing, a story which also broke yesterday.
“We’re extremely proud to be re-launching Ruffhouse Records with Beanie Sigel as our first artist,” said Schwartz, a founding partner at the groundbreaking label which sold 100 million records worldwide in its first incarnation. “His [tax sentence] doesn’t change any of that in the least. Regardless of this unfortunate situation, Beanie has created a tremendous body of work that is totally worthy of the Ruffhouse name. It’s almost ironic that the sentencing is happening on the eve of this record, because this record is about introspection and redemption. Beanie is truly one of the great lyricists in the hip-hop game. He stands tall among all the major emcees and he’s revered by all Hip Hop aficionados around the world.”
Ruffhouse and Beanie will release This Time on August 28, billed as Sigel’s fifth studio album. The album will be distributed through EMI. In 2007, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania emcee released The Solution on Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam Records.

nice! hahahahaha
r.i.p. beanie
The album cover is wack, but I will still pick this album up. With all the bullshit Beans is going through, it’s good to see that he IS still able to drop an album without the help of Jay-Z. He should have stayed loyal to Dame Dash.
Beans is dope, legendary almost. I think the album will be cool and I’ll support it. But….that album cover is horrible!!!
“Beanie is truly one of the great lyricists in the hip-hop game”
That statement is mind boggling.
Fuck you
I’m just proud of Chris and Beans. Ruffhouse is that Label.
You got any idea if they’ll be doing vinyl?
yo so icy ur moms pussy just squirted
“Kris Kross”
Where are they today? lol
If they were smart there somewhere living off there “Jump” money
Then again, Jermaine Dupri was there manager so they probably got robbed and are working at a footlocker
One of the lamest album titles ever.
OH SHIT!!! A NEW MJ ALBUM….oh wait its just Beans….fall back…false alarm…lol.

what does that cover even mean.
one of the worst album titles n covers OF ALL TIME.. Beans was always a beast on the mic but i think his rap career was done years ago, time to hang it up and pursue something else
Listen to his music
worst album cover of all time
beanie sigel always has bored me the fuck out. nothing is interesting about him. old ass needs to hang it up and do his time. when he gets out, his fat ass needs to work at a mcdonald’s. he’ll get free food during his break. lol. and lmao at 90s labels trying to make a comeback.
What happened to him making “The Classic” album?
all I gotta say for that album Cover is Whao..actaully double Whao!!
what is this his jail house album before he takes his stupid ass to jail. how many times has this been done trying to profit from a jail bid no thanks
this cover looks like it was mad in 2001..like when Photoshop first came out
smh…yeah “This Time” you going back to jail nigga & the “Next Time” after that nigga
lmfao!

yea..think the article already took care of the posting of the tracklist..thanks though
feeling the list of producers! thanks!
he was providing production credits, you huge douche…..
ah, those are not the producers
Artwork is pathetic…hire better graphic designers 1st Ruffhouse.
wow looks like beanie is one of the few solo artist left in the game 11 tracks 8 solo he never released a garbage album and i dont expect him to now
damn whats up with all the hate
Nah Beans is dope, just the fuck is up with the album cover. Like niggas took it in their garage & use Microsoft Paint n shit
Nigga looks like he took Cee Lo Green’s swag on this album cover.
wack ass cover
Been a big fan of Beans, but… Garbage Album cover, Tracklist looks garbage… album probably gon be garbage. Maybe Ruffhouse needs to stay off the map. Hope y’all prove me wrong
Cosign…I used to be the biggest Sigel fan, but I just cannot get excited for this (not for any of his work after The Reason to be honest)…
u say u a fan but then u say the album probably gon be garbage? u aint a fan, u a phoney
WHACK COVER
The music has to be better than the album art, its not art at all….yeah mane every track has to bang with THAT cover…..
His album is not on a major label. Why would they fork over all that money just for an album cover? The name of the artist and the music is which sells the actual cd.
it doesnt cost that much to have a good graphic artist make good work…this looks like $50 amateur work….the photo of Bienie is really what kills it….cheesy as f*ck
Dumbass Is What They call Me.
That is (Charles Barkley voice) a turrible turrible album cover.
fucking fadora looking like mj fuck outta herrre
this can’t be for serious
I’m checking for this, fuck it
im guessing no 1 ever heard of ‘Dont judge a book by its cover’… alot of hate on here
First impressions are everything. Beans is definitely one of those artists who I’d at least give a listen to his music based on his lyrical ability in the past, but that’s because I’ve actually listened to his music. But for someone who may be just checking him out, this album cover might turn them away haha. It just looks like something from someone’s photoshop class. Doesn’t mean the music will be bad, but for someone who’s image is on the brink right now, it doesn’t help
except no one is judginf the book they are just laughing at the cover. is that not what this article is about?
take the word hater and stick it up your ass nigga.

Beanie has consistently put out above-average albums for over a decade. One of the most overrated rappers in recent history.
*underrated
“If they were smart there somewhere living off there “Jump” money”
One of them runs an indie label and is losing his hair (lol), while the other is still recording, and trying to release a book.
Damn this nigga looks sooo gay on that fucking cover
Free Beanie Sigel, Free Remy Ma!!!
what, no hov feature?
lmao

Hey I’m totally new at this., just wanna hear some feedback and thoughts. 20 years, From Denmark.
Wat typa This is It looking shit is this cover lol?
English?
haha he’s saying it looks like the cover for the Michael Jackson movie, “This is It”…I like Beans, but I don’t know what he was thinking with this album cover
lol youre right
coverdude. com/covers/micheal-jackson-this-is-it-back-cover-10964.jpg
cover looks like a broadway musical
is AWFUL. couldn’t have taken more than 5 minutes to make…2 pictures, a simple blending effect, impact font for the title…come on man. you’d think niggas who been in the game THIS long would have it figured out by now. but then again I don’t think I’ve ever liked a beanie sigel cover.
Hope your a lady because you judging a cover instead of music gay nigga shit,do me a favor go ask beanie about his album cover to his face bitch-nerd instead of his music..All you funny niggas on here talking bout a cover sound gay you tight pant wearin fags!!!!
i heard he had tommy butters shittin out cum b4 he offd dat nicca sik mufruker dont hurt me beans you a beast one
that was just a joke italian to italian cmon man im a big fan what i metaphoricaly meant was you ownd tom butters ass when it came 2 dat beef shit best of luck with the case man one
You fucking GUINEA,you no nonthing about hiphop go watch housewives of new jersey and eat some mozzarella balls with dick flavor PUSSY\/\/
Somebody settin Beans up for failure.Fat Micheal Jackson “this time”. Who the fuck got this man lookin like MJ in the city? This is worst than that Jadakiss cover where he got hair with a fucked up lining.
What the fuck? Nigga looks like Michael Blackson. This nigga tryin’ to look classy on his album cover so the judge will be lenient on him. This is obviously a desperate money grab to earn money to appeal his sentence. I never like to see anyone get locked up, but when you’re given the opportunities that he got and you still squander them because you can’t let go of your ‘thug’, then you get what you get.
that’s the gayest cover ever…beanie is dope as fuck, but he has some of the wackest covers in the game
