Saigon Takes On Atlantic Records, "My Fans Will Hear My Album Whether They Put It Out Or Not"
Monday - June 4, 2007
Saigon has called out his label, Atlantic Records, for failing to promote and release his anticipated debut album, The Greatest Story Never Told, and has threatened to release the project for his fans without Atlantic's approval.

On his MySpace blog, dated on Friday, June 1, the New York bred rapper refers to Atlantic as "a home of ringtone making artists" and claims his fans will hear the album "whether the label puts it out or not."

"Please don't believe that the hold up of my album has anything to do with me or my work ethic or my rate of producing great music," he wrote. "If you go to YouTube and type in JBTV Saigon you will hear snippets of my album that Atlantic doesn't seem to have the desire to release."

"I just think the once great Atlantic Records has been belittled down to a home of ringtone making artists, like they sign the great jingle writers and real artists like myself don't get a chance to showcase my musical abilities," he continued. "I feel like Tupac now...It's me against the world. Thank God artists such as Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin (Atlantic artists) weren't signed in this day in time; they would've never seen the light of day."

"Not to worry though, my fans will hear my entire album very soon whether they put it out or not," he went on to say. "If they don't I will and let y'all be the judge if the music is great or not. I'm beginning to think that being my album is geared toward the betterment and not the destruction of my people the powers that be don't wanna release it...cause I know its not the skills...I am the most relevant rapper in the world by far when it comes to my people. Unfortunately they only care about $$$$...Oh well. Welcome to America... Greatest Story Never Told coming this summer...regardless." [Read Saigon's blog in full here]

Saigon, who had a recurring role on HBO's "Entourage" during the show's second season, is signed to Just Blaze's Fort Knocks Entertainment. The Greatest Story Never Told was initially set to hit stores in 2006 via Fort Knocks/Atlantic Records but has been continuously delayed. It reportedly features production by Just Blaze and Kanye West, among others.

saigon is nice on the mic but he spends alot of that time talking about how real he is and how fake others are, just listen to 1 mixtape from him, he'll make references to his credibility and question others alot more than he realizes

He's always talking about somebody else. He spent more time doing that and running his mouth in interviews, instead of watching his label (which is what he should have been doing from jump). BTW, I been called this one. I been said Atlantic was not going to put anything behind him. Of course, his supporters said differently. But that's another story. Anyway, I been said they weren't going to support him or want to release his album. Simply because they feel he won't do anything, and they'll lose money/not make a profit for them.

Props on this shit. Damn shame Atlantic doesn't believe in Saigon. This is the same reason why Little Brother left, 'cause Atlantic wasn't willin' to push their shit. Granted LB coulda picked a better single (like "Hiding Place") "Lovin' It" was still better than the majority of the bullshit that was gettin' played on BET at the time. Good luck to Saigon. Can't wait to finally hear his album.
