06/07/08 - Saigon Says He's 10 Times Better Than Today's Rappers

Black Superman · 06-07-2008, 02:13 PM

Arriving from a recent show in China, Saigon came on to DJ Kay Slay's Shade 45 radio show to discuss several issues including current music interests, T-Pain and southern rap, and rumors about Roc Nation.
After announcing, “My shit is 10 times better than all that,” when referring to up-and-coming albums from a handful of rappers (namely Lil Wayne), Saigon gave props to another New York rapper who’s looking at a bright career. “Anticipating? Papoose. I still want to hear what a Papoose album would sound like, 'cause I know what he could do. Your album is gonna be your best shit, and I know what he did on his mixtape. And I ain’t saying it 'cause Slay [is] here, Paps is my man. That nigga’s a genius with his writing level.”
Sure to make some rap listeners turn the other cheek, the discussion turned a bit questionable as Saigon commented on the south’s presence in the Hip Hop community. “It’s funny though, someone was like ‘you trying to sound like a south nigga.’ I’m like, ain’t they biting by just rapping period? How you gonna say I’m biting when ya’ll nigga’s is rapping? This is us, what the fuck are y'all rapping for? They forgot about that, Slay.”
Changing gears, Saigon expressed his views on a rumored Roc Nation signing. “Jay is my nigga. Me and Jay fuck around with more than music…But I don’t know [if he sees my vision]. We haven’t had that conversation yet. What I’m doing is risky. This hasn’t been done since [Public Enemy's] 'Fight the Power.'”

ThaKid · 06-07-2008, 05:43 PM

tha only thing saigon is famous for is smacking a cheap shot at P and then runnin like a lil bitch...

Joey111 · 06-07-2008, 05:50 PM

He is better than most of todays rappers.

Blizzy · 06-07-2008, 06:56 PM

You're only as good as you're last project and 'Moral of the Story' was a let down...if he made these comments after 'Warnin Shots' or 'Return of the Yardfather' then they'd be believable...Saigon needs to ditch wack producers and that melodic tone he uses on slow beats...props on this tho...Peace

IbeWazir · 06-07-2008, 08:15 PM

I put him above 90% of the people rappin' today

When was the last time Em made a good song? 2003 when 8 Mile came out? I'm racist because i said a black person is better than a white one? Bitch please, people have been claiming white people are better than people from races for years. You mad that white people aren't the best at everything anymore? Deal with it ho. Anyway, Jay has been in the game almost longer than anybody (with the exception of Outkast probably) and he makes hits everytime he has a new album. All of his albums are good. Also, Sai said he was better than today's rappers, not niggas from '88. Rakim and Redman, I haven't heard anything from them in six years

Only pop artists get their albums released on time

GMNRecordsCT3 · 06-08-2008, 12:30 PM

Saigon and Joell Ortiz needa do an album together... REAL TALK

Ed-ucation · 06-08-2008, 08:32 PM

I'm waiting for a official album, after that I could have my own opinion about him, but yeah he's a good rapper, from the few things I've listen about him.

anzee11 · 06-08-2008, 10:46 PM

Saigon's probably right, but no one's checking for him. Neither Planet Asia, unfortunately.

Schexy12 · 06-09-2008, 02:09 AM

I need an album from Saigon...I know he's talented and all that but he's been all talk and no product lately...
