Saigon “Trans-Atlantic Slave Deal” (produced by Scram Jones)
“Then they said I should do some “gangsta rap”, I said Julie there’s at least ten of my friends dead cuz of that”
“The Greatest Story will be told, even it if its for free-download, let the internet take it around the globe, than make money from all the shows”
“For the record I’m not mad at Prodigy, I just felt like that lil’ n**** owed my an apology, you know he could of shot me the fair, but for frontin’ I punched em’ all in his face and got the fuck outta there”

Saigon, Joel Ortiz, Papoose, SMH
I can’t get hype over someone who does not a release date.
I, like most, have moved on.

Miss info I’m not a fan of Saigon, but I’m feeling this. Maybe I’m just an a$$hole but that footage of him and protege was funny as hell.

=========================
WTF does a release date have to do with the quality of the music? Commercial Hip-
Hop needs cats like Saigon.

Why is Saigon even in the game if he dont like it so much? Damn nigga move on, get into Accounting or something. We’ve had enough of you just go away.

Correction to Ezee-T….Sai doesn’t hate the game, he hates the higher-ups that have fucked his whole career up. The A&R’s knew what they were getting when they signed him. Atlantic tried to change his style up…good for him for not caving & becoming another clown. I’ma bump this new track & continue to patiently wait on The Greatest Story.

@AmpGeez a.k.a. Muthf**a, Can U But That?
I was stating an opinion, the same opinion most, listeners, fans, backpackers etc. have. Yes the game needs underground artist, and yes hip hip needs your Saigons,Papooses, and Joels. What the game can do without is men with ego’s who can’t seem to get out of their own way. What I’ve noticed is a lot of very talented dudes that can’t seem to figure out how to unscramble the puzzle. Instead of doing that first they blame this label, that label, my budget, the deal, the situation, enough. I watch an interview and I feel like i’m watching a cross examination in court with a defendant who’s seems to be dry snitching on himself. worldstar,vlad,smack,flexx,youtube, jeez you would think these dudes have classics out. nope just a lot of jibba jabba. Mean while people who initially took you serious are waiting for your album to drop and being spoon fed mixtapes and more excuses. Nigga I don’t trick, If you got a project I’ll cop, If your just dropping stuff to keep your buzz alive, I’ll pass. I like Mason downloaded all his new shit. I’m not hanging on every word or freestyle, that shit is whack. If he never drops and album cool, But I refuse to take part in an exercise of futility. I refuse to get excited over an artist that seems like he’s never coming out. Now this may change when he drops depending on the product, but for right now I’m cool (push the plate back) I’m full.
(Newsflash! jackass! it’s all Commercial)
warning shot…….

Saigon has to be one of the realest emcees out there right now just because I once heard him in an interview state how its not “cool” to live that gangsta life, he was tellin the kids on camera like yo, this is not where you wanna be…

Saigon is smart, sparking back up the beef for publicity.

Any emcee willing to clue kids in on how wack being a gangster is wins the fresh award from me. Fuck all that “I come from the streets, so that’s what I rap about” bullshit.
Intelligent commercial hiphop – maybe not an oxymoron so much any more?

So People Under The Stairs are commercial? Atmosphere is commercial? Tanya Morgan is commercial? Obviously you’re more caught up in BS then the music. I’m waiting on Sai to drop, but as long as he keeps putting out quality music in the meanwhile, I’m good. Why release an album to see it flop? It’s all about timing. And your “warning shot” was a dud. As intelligent as you try to come off, your comments expose your ignorance.

ayo mustafa (the fuck is a mustafa anyway?) first off, quit tryna start some shit on every post you big lame. you make me wanna slap your mum. ahem back to the topic…
How is a little pathetic boy like you gonna “shake your head” at Joell Ortiz OR Papoose. They got fans all over and I’ll argue all day what a talent Joell is. But you’re saying you’re not bothered cos he hasn’t got a release date? Ah, so cos your man 50s got a release date, he’s obviously a better listen that Joell?! Quality hiphop isnt dictated by all that political shit – it’s about the music. My music from this month so far is from dudes like skillz, papoose, crooked i, freeway (he been griindin), joey and joell. who’s gonna tell me flo-rida shawty lo or 50s music is better than these cats JUST cos they got a definite release date?
SMH at you.

I like his MUSIC, but him as a PERSON – no pass. I can’t take people who feel it neccessary to record videos w/ them flaunting MONEY.

@#7 Kwelity. Surely there’s someone out there who would’ve wanted to get involved with him. The dude could be great if he wanted it more. Who does’nt like the “Letter P”?? All Saigon needs is people like Em and Dre, yall remember when 50 was shot and I think Atlantic, if I’m not mistaken, dropped him when “Power Of The Dollar” was supposed to come out.

———————————————People Under The Stairs are commercial? Atmosphere is commercial? Tanya Morgan is commercial?
Yes actually they are They started out binary stars but the internet blew them up and yes they are commercial. Atmosphere actually sold out the music box in hollywood a few months back, People under stairs seem to be in every magazine I read about how hot they are. All the groups you named might as well be Asher Roth. The fact that were talking about them above board means their commercial. As far as the shot I’m trying to turn over a new leaf, and not lite your as up. I don’t know if you noticed but I’m a bit of a mean person it’s the scorpio in me, so all that say is me genuine. (I’m an asshole)
I know you think you want some but, you really don’t want known. You fucking carbon copy of a carbon copy. Get the fuck outa here with your fake wanna be thorough ass!!!

@AJC
uhm my name is mustafa, thats actually my name no gimmick, no catch phrases.
Now, AJC (AlWAYS JACKING a strangers COCK)
my point was that I like a lot of people are sicking waiting for his album to come out. I think it’s pretty safe to say I like all the artist I named I’m not take their bullshit and excuses for not coming out. In other words wake me when you finally drop and LP.
Please don’t address me unless you really have an argument worth discussing. If i’m flame someone, I want it to be fair ok. Continue jacking off strangers to pay your rent ok, good day.

If you get into Hip Hop, you know the game. If you get offered a commercial deal, you know you gotta make those girly ass singles to stay on the shelf. Don’t be mad because you wouldn’t make a decent single to keep your career on track and instead got thrown back into the alley. You either play the game or you let it play you.
