Saigon Leaves Atlantic After Album Stalled

F*ck atlantic they don't want a new public enemy 08. They just want to keep the masses asleep with ring tones. I don't care how homie gets his joints out...just get them out, these are the last days. And hip hop needs to go back to the essense, the african drum would in the past keep people deep awake. Now they want to use it to put us to sleep. Respect to sia for not getting trapped in the system. Keep it movine sia god is on your side. Its a narrow path that only a few can walk.

Keep doin ya thing sai, these labels just dont understand what you trying to do. Get that album out anyway possible...

Saigon is the truth, strong young brotha, dont compramise sh!t!!! stick to ya guns black man!!!! i know alotta rap n!ggaz that woulda threw in the towel, made 100 mixtapes and lied about the situation. Saigon shoulda went independent from jump! just make sure you add a bonus disc with the album when it drop.. Sayin that the material is somewhat dated now... O.k.?????????????

The greatest story never told definitely explains why his album never came out. Its inthe name itself. The story is never going to be told and no record company wants to take a risk on a underpromoted artist whos songs are 5 years old and all leaked.

^ squad if you was in saigons position what would you do? seriously

Its a business and if nobody's buying his music then he can't be mad. Plies and lupe are selling albums. Honestly i respect saigon as a lyricist but i would never buy one of his albums. My advise is stay underground and stay on the grind cause you'll never be commercial.

^^nobody is buying any albums, whether you're mainstream/commercial or not. Nobody is buying any cds. He never got the chance to put out any music for people to buy. So you can't buy anything when it was never available to begin with. It has nothing to do with anybody buying records. They got plenty of artist right now with hit singles, who are flopping left and right. They never promoted or got behind him to begin with. You can't get something out of nothing. It has nothing to do with him being commercially viable. They were never behind him or his project from the start. So he was in trouble before he started.

Big up to the yardfather for real, keep doing your thing my n*gga. Hip hop needs "artists" like you and not most of these watered down ass rappers thats out now. 143hiphop

^^damn u sound so predictable

I don't like this blabber guy; but he's kinda popular on the famous dating site: _t a l l m i n l e .c om_ !!! what's wrong with all the good-looking girls? they simply fall for sweet talking???

Yo sai is madd nice but like dunn said , he's way too street to go commercial. Niggas like styles, az, and jada had a couple of joints whereas they saw some of that gwop. He needs to hit the lab, or link with mariah, or alicia keys to get a commercial joint. He also needs to get his name and face out there. Nobody who's not into hip hop heavy will ever know who the fck he is , if he keep rhymin on ass tracks from mark ronson. That oooh wee was straight buns!!

...mayn idk why haters even post comment..but u need haters to make u strong..right? keep up the good work sai...and pain in my life..was my fav song of 07...get it how u live!!!!=d

This homo thug is sack ridin saigon nobody listens to songs with $16,000 videos attached to them . Mo realah is a web cam thug. He doesn't know hip hop. His first banga was get rich or die tryin. You a young buck. Did you know that flash , kool herc, grandwizard theodoore, etc , started the art form in the bx?. You probably wasn't even a damn seed yet. What are you 22?. Any real dude knows whether you a school niggga or not. The people gotta feel you, i don't care how much marketing and promotion you have . This n*gga had and has none!. Aint nobody hatin ni**a, i'm just being real. I expect you to know the difference respect your elders fa**ot!!!

Pardon self ( new scool ni**a)

Damn i f uc**d up again i'm a dummy like mo realah (new school) there thats it.

You know the game F*cked up when real artist are having a hard time coming out. Saigon is my favorite rapper alive besides jay-z. I'm supporting that man on whatever he does...real reconize real!

Truth be told/if skills sold i'd probably be lyrically talib kweli- jay-z basically there can never be a single center of truth or conceptualization of what's real or what's deep. The underground/ commercial dichotomy is a superficial imaginary concept coz eventually if it aint make dollars it aint make sense. Anyway analyse what underground mcs be about. Its just one reflection of reality from a broad mirror called life. Some mcs be built to be more real when they flossy while sm just can't be flossy but as we speak ryt now aint much of a difference in the subject matter in hip-hop and rap ryt now. Saigon is what he be- he can't be jay-z or em and tha's what's real. Peace, love, respect, peace and understanding

You will be better off without atlantic records. Seems they don't want anything new and fresh. Who's running that company? time to shake the tree and let the old fruits on top fall to the ground and rot.
