Very well put...Yep.
Source gave it 4 1/2 for a reason.
Saigon brought back DJ Eazy Dikk for that album.
All that militant shyt the coli is on Sai was on all on that album. The Just Blaze sequencing. Kanye doing a beat that sounded like Just Blaze did it. The way the whole album starts with Fatman Scoop doing a commercial for "The Invitation" and then "The Invitation" sounding like some Transformers shyt on the beat.
Fatman Scoop ending the song going into "Come On Baby."
"Bring Me Down 2" was supposed to push Saigon to the mainstream but it never caught on.
loved the album myself. Saigon is definitely one of my personal “biggest disappointment in hip hop”

Outside of dropping a near classic in 2011, Him and bishop lamont both have had similar careers.

the album was fire. thats all i will say
if that shyt comes out in 06, Saigon's career has a VEEEEEERY different trajectory.
The Curtis vs. Graduation thing really put an end to Saigon's type of music being popular rap

I thought while GSNT was dope, it definitely didn't live up to the hype. I used to tell anybody who would listen that Saigon was the illest nikka on the scene and cats bettet stip sleeping. Yardfather 1 was one of the top 10 albums of the decade and it was a fukking mixtape. I was huge fan of Sai since back in like 2000. I told him at an album signing in Philly when it dropped that I had been waiting on that shyt since "Say Yes" and he smiled and laughed like "Wow".
But like others have said, had a terribly managed career. He was like an east coast street version of Ras Kass in alot of ways. And he refused to take the easy route to success and sell his ass, so the ultimate fame eluded him.

GSNT is a goddamn classic and dude’s career got fukked over by Atlantic just like how they did Lupe

He killed himself when after finally releasing GSNT he started using that trash producer DJ Corbett for his subsequent projects and rapping over beats that sounded like they should be on Lupe Fiasco or Joe Budden/Slaughterhouse albums.
Had he stayed grimy, he’d be feasting in this current underground market.
