While i'm talking about Saigon, did any of you hear (or see on his myspace blog) that he quit rapping? I don't think it'll last long, but he did post that shit. Here's his message..

I QUIT........

You see I got into rap a very very long time ago, I didnt do it to become rich, I didnt do it to become famous, I did it because it was a way for me to vent about the bad things that were happening around me, It was therapy for me so to speak.....Ive realized now that sooo many people have gotten into Hip Hop, whether the business aspect or otherwise, its not really for me anymore...First of all, people need to know that I am a contraversial person period, before I ever was in a magazine, on T.V. in a studio, I was very very deep in the street shit..Contraversy has always followed me, Its unfortunate but it is what it is...Its my life...I dont try to start shit to cause contraversy, its the media, the press and yall who eat off contraversy who start the shit, try to make me look wild or out of control when Im just being who I am. Everybody is like, 'OMG how is gonna show up to a radio station drunk', hahaha, Im a rebel, I done showed up to court drunk facing 15 years and yall talking about a radio show.. This is the bullshit, hahaha its funny how people listen to all these rappers talk about all these guns they bust and being in the trap and hustling, and everybody loves the music and celebrates it, the second he gets caught up in some of the shit he was rapping about, everybody is talking about how stupid he is and all this shit.. ...I cant take turning on a computer and seeing my name being thrown around in all kinds of ways, Its not good for me, and not good for these writers, I am accident prone for life, I will take a page out of the Wu Tang book and beat the shit outta one of yall niggaz man, youre playing with fire.. Should I post my rap sheet on the internet to remind yall , Im not a fucking studio thug man, ... I never signed up for this so Im stepping away from this fake shit.....I did a interview on Shade45, the interview was 2 hours long mind you, we talked about EVERYTHING from what we need to do as a people to get on track to economizing and everything but you know whats on all the so called media outlets in boldface as the headline, 'Saigon Disses Whoever'...You know what part of a 2 hr interview people replay? Me saying something about someone...If I woulda said, Ill slap John Hardy Hawkins for his role in the Slave trade, they would never put it in boldface or re run it 1000 times, but If I say Ill slap a rapper or something, Its the headline news of the day....Thats ass backwards to me so Im done. I dont like not being able to speak my mind without some fucking clown being able to make a story out of it because Im a "rapper" and "rappers" shouldnt say those things....hahahah I didnt sign up for this..No more interviews, no more mixtapes, no nothing....Im not a rapper anymore, Im done.. Im back to being regular me...This shit is too fake for me, I found myself getting caught up in the bullshit but now Ill gladly walk away...These people are so predictable that to prove to my niggas who would say my buzz was dying or whatever, I would say 'oh yeah', watch this, then for fun, I would just do an interview and make a comment about someone because I knew they would run back like little bitches who instigate something to get the people talking. Then walah, my buzz is back, (nevermind the 10 great new songs i wouldve just put out)..But its not fun anymore...I look at the Prodigy incident, that started not because of anything but these media outlets...He told me to suck his dick in an INTERVIEW..Then it becomes physical, we both coulda got shot, stabbed or even killed...Had I been with my crew somebody wouldve died in there all over something that started in an INTERVIEW. You got this other guy throwing my name around on T.V. now thats going to get physical, Then watch, the same people who instigated it will be talking about how senseless we are..I dont give a fuck if nobody ever does a story on me again..I dont rap anymore, I dont need it anymore... I no longer have to keep pretending to be a certain way to care about a radio spin, or an interview, so I can address these people when I see them like I BEEEEN wanting to, and thats unbiased. NO MORE ASS KISSING FOR ME. All of that trying to be politically correct bullshit is just that, bullshit..There is no honor amongst theives...Now I can say what the fuck I want, when I want, however the fuck I want without people feeling like they have the right to ridicule me, judge me and talk slick about me because I have this title "Rapper" attached to my name, or because Im a "Rapper" who supposed to know how to talk to these media people who really dont give 2 fucks about hip hop or black culture period. How many of these outlets are owned by black people anyway? I know alot of people dont give a fuck about me stepping away, some people might but so what, its a wrap...Some people will say I was wack, I never had punchlines or funny metaphores , but that wasnt my thing anyway....I left enough great music behind for people to understand I was good at rapping, thats all I ever wanted out of it, But now Im back on my bullshit...I have no KIDS, I have nothing to lose..My reason for ever taking it to this level in the first place was to use the music to to try to get black people out of the stages of deaf, dumb and blindness and that was a fight I probably couldve never won anyway...I wouldve given my life trying to save my people and died in vein like alot of people did.. Oh, and to that rapper thats throwing my name around, U must be retarted or like hospital food or something, we have BEEF homie, not rap beef, beef beef I have no more to say about that, its a small world, Ill see him...Fuck this bum ass rap game anyway, its full of fake ass niggaz who pump poison to the kids, make a few dollars and act like theyre larger then life when they know their music is detrimental to their fucking communities, If it aint about sex, its about drugs or violence, where are the songs about getting an eduacation, or being responsible parents and shit, or stopping the Gang Violence...This shit is sickening...........SAIGON IS DEAD...Should I say Ill slap a rapper so they run and put it in all their news section and gossip columns..Okay Ill slap the shit outta EVERY Rapper hows that....I QUIT, Now I have time to focus on my non profit organazation, In Arms Reach/Abandoned Nation, Please if you get the chance, check out Inarmsreach.org and lend your support to the work we do for the children in NYC whose parent(s) are incarcerated, Thank You now I gotta figure out how Im gonna break this to Just Blaze......THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD....hahahahahahaha PROPHECY

Also, Saigon didn't like the line Joe Budden spit not too long ago on BET. I didn't really think it was a disrespectful line myself and even Budden said it wasn't. But I guess Sai is on some Canibus shit. No pun intended.

Here's what Saigon wrote to Budden..

MR.JOE BUDDEN
It has been bought to my attention that Joe Budden used my name in a disrespectful way in one of his punchlines on B.E.T., I understand he's not getting the attention he feels he deserves but to try to use me to get it is a BAD MOVE on his part..I guess he's trying to bait me into a rap battle like he's known for doing..I have never had a lyrical rap beef because its not my thing. I beef a little differently. I know I just said I woudnt harm a person who didnt try to harm me but I feel he's trying to harm my credibilty soooo..If I let him get away with that, EVERYONE will be dissing me in there freestyles, so again, Im gonna say sorry to Nelly and tell Joe Budden that when I see him, Im going to slap EARTH, WIND and FIRE out of HIM instead. REAL TALK..I will make an example out of him, watch.. I want him to know we have a problem, because when I see him he's all smiles and pounds, is he that desperate for attention?Why me? Im not even hot like that yet. Maybe he's mad I have a song with the same guy who dropped him, or that Ransom exposed his sexuality....I use to live in Chilltown Jersey city, I dont know if he's gay but I know he WAS a RnB singer...And personally, I will let him be my first lyrical victim if that's what he wants, but only after I beat him up. Soo he can go making his songs and get his internet soldiers behind him, but until I get him, Im quiet.. realistically speaking, he's only okay at best...and him without a Just Blaze beat is like Popeye without spinach...whadduup Just..
Budden did a short freestyle on BET.


He spit some shit from a dope Green Lantern freestyle he did a while back. He added a few new bars too. One of them had Saigon's name in it. I doubt he meant it the way Saigon took it though.

"As soon as the wife gone, they jump on the python, she ain't know i'm bout to hit and run like i'm Saigon"

Sai's an idiot for saying Joe is "okay at best". Dude's one of the best in the game because of the talent he has and what he can do. I think both Joey AND Sai are a few of the best in the game who could be big with the talent they have. It'd be a shame if they actually got into it over THIS.

Not to mention..

Joe responded with this..

joe budden made one of the best songs ive heard in the past 3 or 4 years when he did "3 sides to a story"

i havent heard much else apart from that...but i was amazed by that song

saigon is too emotional, i used to like his music, but the man himself is too all over the place

hope budden rips him apart

So, if you didn't follow the "bullshit in Hip Hop media" - you must still like his music?

Wait, did this guy have beef with a Mobb Deep member? Oh, I get it. :horny:
 
#5
hmm, i love saigons shit, and agree with alot of what he has to say.

But beefing with Budden over that line? For real? That shit dont sound disrespectful at all.

There might be more to it, but if thats the only line he's going off on, is fucked up.

But whatever I dont care much for rap beef, I'll still listen to Saigon's shit regardless.

Btw when the hell is "The Moral of The Story" gonna leak!.. its being sold on ebay already, but does anyone have a link?

for those that dont already know its a mixtape/album that was supposed to drop before "greatest story never told"

its got nothing to do with him beefing with mobb deep...shit i dont even feel mobb deep right now (their new shit anyway)

its just that saigon changes his mind every two seconds...first he preaches about being positive to the kids, then he gets on radio and threatens a woman...then he goes straight onto his stupid myspace and says sorry...and this is a cycle that continues...know what i mean?

and lately his music hasnt even been as hot as it used to be

i think he'll become what game is to me...a good rapper but a lame person

A big mouth, internal conflicts, being drunk.. you described a stereotype of rappers. Saigon is right about one thing... all the media shit, even in the StreetHop news section is bullshit (don't think for a second that this is an anti-establishment post ... Pittsey) because people feed into the bullshit. Just look - 50 Cent this 50 Cent that, some couple breaking up and something about some rapper going to jail. None sense. Don't get me wrong, I love to read about behind the scenes and all that but more often than not, people discuss about how much they hate Curtis Jackson as a person like they know the motherfucker... they'll even purchase 2 or 3 of the same album just to spite 50 Cent. All you know is his music and the presented persona, sucka.

Can we get back to the Music?
 
#15
what do you guys think of the album? The first half of the album is so much better than the second half if you ask me. Its alot better than any of the recent albums ive heard.
