good for him

 

[Juggalo Fred]

This is a great move for him

Tech and travis will get him in the right lane

 

[Grizzly]

Good move. Tech knows what he's doing over there. Wish him the best.

 

[White City Black]

Got a lot of respect for Tech and what he did, happy for the guy, I really am but Stange Music is Gathering Of The Juggalos type shyt and the thought of Saigon being being that guy now is just funny

This hasn’t been the case for the last few years tho. Strange’s roster at this point are basically made up of street lyricists, most of them on that fast “chopper” shyt. Nobody particularly mind blowing, but dope nonetheless.

This isn’t as random as many would think. I remember a video years back that had Saigon talking with tech and the Strange music CEO.

also, the few times strange music signs guys outside their usual lane, they don’t make them create their type of music.

I remember those videos so I figured something had to give with Saigon and Strange. Can’t wait to hear the new album, sucks with COVID-19 tho. Sai almost definitely would’ve been on Tech’s fall tour.

I think sometimes folks forget Strange Music actually released Jay Rock’s first album prior to TDE linking with Interscope. Had Jay touring with Tech with Kendrick as his hypeman.

Crazy. A random saigon song came on my phone today I was thinking how did he fall off so hard. Good to see him still getting money.

This was the random joint

 

[duckbutta]

could never take him serious after he looked like such a sucka on love and hip hop

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

I bumped greatest story never told pretty heavily. Always liked the joint he did with G Rap too

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

I only say that, cos I feel he lost his way tbh, couldn’t decide what he wanted to rap about, we’re all contradictory in life, but it gets confusing in music, only 2pac could do it right it seems.

On another note, I just listened to all Budden/Saigon diss tricks, which were all under whelming, but I forgot how the beef even started?

Pain in his life
Joe got busy
I still go back and listen

Shirt always off, D'Angelo
Get naked like a down hooker

Love Saigon but I feel like he fukked up by not playing the game with Atlantic. He had just blaze and everyone behind him all he had to do was make 2 singles for radio. I’m not saying he needed to compromise himself but you do have to comprise some what when you are the type of artist he is. No reason why he couldn’t make something for radio. I think he was dope enough to pull it off.

 

[Bonefan32]

He needs to sign Krayzie Bone

Krayzie needs some better production

 

[MK25toLife]

As far as street rap, 50 and Sai were neck and neck at one point. Saigon’s mixtape music in the early 2000’s was THAT good. The delay with Greatest Story (a classic), hurt him bad. Reminds me a lot of Cormega’s delay w/ The Testament (also a classic).

Lots of talk about his discography in here but I haven't seen anyone mention "All In a Day's Work" with Statik. I enjoyed that project and still run it from time to time on a road trip or something.
