Saigon did a show in Arizona at Club Red the other night and Arizona-based rapper, Random, caught up with him to ask some questions for his youtube page (Apparently JoeBuddenTV is onto something). A visibly inebriated Saigon drops a little knowledge on us that he heard from his lawyer: He is still signed to Atlantic records.

Other highlights from the video include a few reasons not to talk to girls when you’re drunk, a short conversation about violence in Philadelphia, his upcoming collaboration with OJ da Juiceman, and Saigon letting us know that he’s up on the latest dipset drama.

For those who aren’t familiar with Random,  feel free to educate yourselves!

Saigon has a new album dubbed All in a Day’s Work. The album was allegedly recorded and produced in 1 day (24 hours). Eh, aren’t all rap albums these days? Anyhoo, proceed for your All in a Day’s Work swag bag.

Saigon - “Pushing Buddens”
Saigon crawls back from the dead to remind the world of his weird obsession with Joe Budden’s son. Sounds like he has a big crush on Budden’s girl too. Oh, and Saigon murdered Joe Budden on his own beat. Budden 1, Saigon 0.5 [Props: Ill Roots]

Previously on Joe Budden vs. Saigon:
Joe Budden - “Letter to Saigon”
Saigon - “Underachiever”
Joe Budden - “Pain In His Life”

Saigon - Underachiever (Joe Budden Diss)

Well, that was fast. Here’s Saigon’s response to Joe Budden’s “Letter to Saigon.” He also goes after Budden’s son, Little Trae, for some weird reason. Let’s stay classy, Saigon!

They diss. You decide. Who won Round 1?

[Thanks, Legend]

Saigon - “Believe It” (featuring Just Blaze under the alias Red 5)

No surprises here, Saigon has finally left Atlantic Records. I wonder if anyone even cares where decides to release his album at this point.

Well, that’s according to Saigon himself. The drama king has said in his latest MySpace post that he’s done with rap. His reason? The media made him do some “contraversial” things and then took advantage of the “contraversy” by reporting on it. He somehow insinuates that the media even played a role in his altercation with Mobb Deep.

Sai in his own words: “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…” Read the rest of this entry »

Saigon’s “Come on Baby” ft. Swizz Beatz, taken from The Greatest Story Never Told

I fux with the back-to-basics movement, so this $20-budget video is alright with moi.

Saigon hooks up with Gray-Hova on this Just Blaze-laced remix to “Come On Baby.” Jay didn’t just murk this joint, he makes you think the beat was designed with him in mind.

Sai’s now-you-hear-about-it, now-you-don’t debut, Greatest Story Never Told, is still scheduled for December 4.
