Good riddance. Talk all you want, you never even put out an album therefore you mean nothing.

[tanqueray]

glad someone else seemed to like the album.

the y society album that was posted is butter. i didnt think itd sound like this. from what i know of damu, i thought itd be heavier. but i like the smoothness. and insight is in fine form. makes me wish edan was on a few cuts though.

and will_i_am, thanks for the post. i was looking for the full joint. props.

DJ Semtex played 3 new Wu-Tang songs on his last show. Haven't made up my mind whether it's good or not though.

whole saigon post:

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 contraversal person period, before I ever was in a magazine, on T.V. in a studio, I was very very deep in the street ****...

Contraversy has always followed me, Its unfortunate but it is what it is...Its my life...I dont try to start **** to cause contraversy, its the Media, the press and yall who eat off contraversy who start the ****, try to make me look wild or out of control when Im just being myself....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 **** outta one of yall man, youre playing with fire.. Should I post my Rap Sheet on the internet for yall dummies..Im not a regular dude.

I never signed up for this so Im stepping away from this fake ****.....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 they replay? Me saying something about a person...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...

No more interviews, no more mixtapes, no nothing....Im not a rapper anymore, Im done.. Im back to being regular me...This **** is too fake for me, I found myself getting caught up in the bull**** but now Ill gladly walk away...These people are so predictable that to prove to my *****s 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 *****es who instigate something to get the people talking. Then walah, youre buzz is back, (nevermind the 10 great new songs you 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 **** 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.

Then the same people who instigated it would be talking about how senseless we are..I dont give a **** 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 MOREASS KISSING FOR ME. (Thank God)All of that trying to be politically correct bull**** is just that, bull****..There is no honor amongst theives...Now I can say what the **** I want, when I want, however I the **** I want without people feeling like they have the right to ridicule me, judge me and talk slick about me because I have that word "rapper" attached to me, or because Im a "rapper" who supposed to know how to talk to these fake ass media people who really dont give 2 ****s 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 **** about me stepping away, some people might but so what, its a wrap...Some people will say I was wack anyway lol, or I never had punchlines or funny metaphores anyway, 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 bull****...I have no KIDS, I have nothing to lose. My purpose for even starting this was trying to get black people out of the stages of deaf, dumb and blindness and with the way of the world today thats 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...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 nothing more to say about that....**** this bum ass rap game anyway, its full of fake ass *****z 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 ****ing communities, If it aint about sex, its about drugs or violence, where are the songs about getting an eduacation, or being responsible parents and ****, or stopping the Gang Violence...

This **** is sickening......Im done.....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 **** outta EVERY Rapper hows that....I QUIT, now I gotta figure out how Im gonna break this to Just Blaze......THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD=Prophecy......

damn... he was one of the best doing it

[isoform]

My homeboys the Blue Scholars are pretty much one of the last Hiphop artists I still listen to:

http://www.myspace.com/bluescholars

"the blue is for the color of the collar of my mother and my father plus the scholars that we be"

DUM said they were boring, yeah they aren't exactly producing club hits, but from what i've heard the emcee Geologic is really on-point, outright political/conscious but no self-righteousness, homophobic bullshit, or nu-soul crap.

and i prefer their first album, personally. bayani is ok.

[fakestar]

8 Diagrams is pretty good so far, but it's nothng really memorable.

[heBAY]

Jeezus I've been out the loop fora second...I go on Boxden to download a few new mixtapes my peoples have been buzzingabout (keep urging me to peep Cam's PE #1 shit...supposedly he's on some chubbier Cam shit)...

...but then I see new GHOST...to be released in two weeks...then Beans, Wu, and then Styles P. This can actually be a great ending for a sad, sad, shitty year in major label Hip-Hop.

[brightbill]

I think Graduation, American Gangster, Desire, Return Of The Mac, and Underground Kingz were all good-to-great big label releases. Add in what you said, plus new Nas, you got a not-bad-at-all-year.

And the first eight tracks of PE#1 are amazing. Becomes more hit-and-miss after that, but it gets off to an unreal start.

True I'll give you that...I def. didn't mean to sound like I was overlooking Monch, Common, UGK, and what not...I'm not a huge Kanye or recent Jay-Z fan...although I have heard "Amer. Gangster" is solid. I just meant that it seemed like a pretty bleak year with the good to bad ratio...but last year was similar to that...maybe the few come to think of it...but this one really tuned me out...for whatever reasons.

[mike lowrey]

I think 2007 has been pretty solid actually, several great albums and many decent ones.

[Guest DUM]

I played it through once, and thought it was ok. Listened to it like halfway through this morning w/ headphones so I was actually listening, you cant expect 36 Chambers, but I like it so far.
