OnSmash Saigon Interview, May Of Quit Rap
Saigon has a new message on Myspace claiming to quit rap, I think the decision is premature, he should reconsider things.
You see I got into rap a very very long time ago, I didnt do it to become rich, I didnt do it to become famous, I did it because it was a way for me to vent about the bad things that were happening around me, It was therapy for me so to speak…..Ive realized now that sooo many people have gotten into Hip Hop, whether the business aspect or otherwise, its not really for me anymore…First of all, people need to know that I am a contraversial person period, before I ever was in a magazine, on T.V. in a studio, I was very very deep in the street shit..
Contraversy has always followed me, Its unfortunate but it is what it is…Its my life…I dont try to start shit to cause contraversy, its the media, the press and yall who eat off contraversy who start the shit, try to make me look wild or out of control when Im just being who I am. Everybody is like, ‘OMG how is gonna show up to a radio station drunk’, hahaha, Im a rebel, I done showed up to court drunk facing 15 years and yall talking about a radio show.. This is the bullshit, hahaha its funny how people listen to all these rappers talk about all these guns they bust and being in the trap and hustling, and everybody loves the music and celebrates it, the second he gets caught up in some of the shit he was rapping about, everybody is talking about how stupid he is and all this shit.. …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, I am accident prone for life, I will take a page out of the Wu Tang book and beat the shit outta one of yall niggaz man, youre playing with fire.. Should I post my rap sheet on the internet to remind yall , Im not a fucking studio thug man, … I never signed up for this so Im stepping away from this fake shit…..I did a interview on Shade45, the interview was 2 hours long mind you, we talked about EVERYTHING from what we need to do as a people to get on track to economizing and everything but you know whats on all the so called media outlets in boldface as the headline, ‘Saigon Disses Whoever’…You know what part of a 2 hr interview people replay? Me saying something about someone…If I woulda said, Ill slap John Hardy Hawkins for his role in the Slave trade, they would never put it in boldface or re run it 1000 times, but If I say Ill slap a rapper or something, Its the headline news of the day….Thats ass backwards to me so Im done.
I dont like not being able to speak my mind without some fucking clown being able to make a story out of it because Im a “rapper” and “rappers” shouldnt say those things….hahahah I didnt sign up for this..No more interviews, no more mixtapes, no nothing….Im not a rapper anymore, Im done.. Im back to being regular me…This shit is too fake for me, I found myself getting caught up in the bullshit but now Ill gladly walk away…These people are so predictable that to prove to my niggas who would say my buzz was dying or whatever, I would say ‘oh yeah’, watch this, then for fun, I would just do an interview and make a comment about someone because I knew they would run back like little bitches who instigate something to get the people talking. Then walah, my buzz is back, (nevermind the 10 great new songs i wouldve just put out)..But its not fun anymore…I look at the Prodigy incident, that started not because of anything but these media outlets…He told me to suck his dick in an INTERVIEW..Then it becomes physical, we both coulda got shot, stabbed or even killed…Had I been with my crew somebody wouldve died in there all over something that started in an INTERVIEW. You got this other guy throwing my name around on T.V. now thats going to get physical, Then watch, the same people who instigated it will be talking about how senseless we are..I dont give a fuck if nobody ever does a story on me again..I dont rap anymore, I dont need it anymore… I no longer have to keep pretending to be a certain way to care about a radio spin, or an interview, so I can address these people when I see them like I BEEEEN wanting to, and thats unbiased. NO MORE ASS KISSING FOR ME.
All of that trying to be politically correct bullshit is just that, bullshit..There is no honor amongst theives…Now I can say what the fuck I want, when I want, however the fuck I want without people feeling like they have the right to ridicule me, judge me and talk slick about me because I have this title “Rapper” attached to my name, or because Im a “Rapper” who supposed to know how to talk to these media people who really dont give 2 fucks about hip hop or black culture period. How many of these outlets are owned by black people anyway? I know alot of people dont give a fuck about me stepping away, some people might but so what, its a wrap…Some people will say I was wack, I never had punchlines or funny metaphores , but that wasnt my thing anyway….I left enough great music behind for people to understand I was good at rapping, thats all I ever wanted out of it, But now Im back on my bullshit…I have no KIDS, I have nothing to lose..My reason for ever taking it to this level in the first place was to use the music to to try to get black people out of the stages of deaf, dumb and blindness and that was a fight I probably couldve never won anyway…I wouldve given my life trying to save my people and died in vein like alot of people did.. Oh, and to that rapper thats throwing my name around, U must be retarted or like hospital food or something, we have BEEF homie, not rap beef, beef beef I have no more to say about that, its a small world, Ill see him…Fuck this bum ass rap game anyway, its full of fake ass niggaz who pump poison to the kids, make a few dollars and act like theyre larger then life when they know their music is detrimental to their fucking communities, If it aint about sex, its about drugs or violence, where are the songs about getting an eduacation, or being responsible parents and shit, or stopping the Gang Violence…
This shit is sickening………..SAIGON IS DEAD…Should I say Ill slap a rapper so they run and put it in all their news section and gossip columns..Okay Ill slap the shit outta EVERY Rapper hows that….I QUIT, Now I have time to focus on my non profit organazation, In Arms Reach/Abandoned Nation, Please if you get the chance, check out Inarmsreach.org and lend your support to the work we do for the children in NYC whose parent(s) are incarcerated, Thank You now I gotta figure out how Im gonna break this to Just Blaze……THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD….hahahahahahaha PROPHECY

He is a talented rapper but drama seems to only be around the corner he doesn’t seem to be able to stay focused for a minute. In saying that I hope it aint true that he is quiting cus he has alot of potential to leave a legacy in the rap game. Just Blaze needs to sit down with the dude and just tell him to chill out your career could blow if the album is well recieved dont come so close to releasing an album and just quit like that.
In that On Smash interview we seen two sides to Saigon a crazy dude talking recklas and then all of a sudden he actually talking sence and saying some real shit I agreed with the last part of his interview.
this dude been trying for years to get hits, blame the label u signed to, blame yourself, blame mobb deep but u just aint poppin, u wack son.
shit I feel him. I dont believe he’s done for good tho. No rapper has actually been able to quit rap without their label droppin them.
dmn 3 years of protective custody..that means 23 hour lock down…DAMN HOLD YOUR HEAD PRODIGY!!!
Saigon’s album is hot,dude’s got heat on there.
I don’t think he’s gonna sell but the album is 4-4.5 mics.
I think Saigon is doing the right thing by quitting but he should do it after he drop his debut. Saigon is 30 years old and he isn’t getting any younger so the best thing for him is to quit and get into lets say, ACTING.
its funny how someone who barely has achieved anything in rap is threatening to quit..get a fucking life
When I heard the interview live last week I was like “damn dude, you an asshole.” then when I heard his apology I was like “well at last he gave a heart felt apology so lets move on” cause we all know assholes don’t do shit like apologize on a blog. Now what he said today is real talk but for some reason I’m like “can you spell publicity stunt?” no pun intended….there’s times where I’m posting shit from my Motrola Q.
I can think of about 1000 other rappers that should be quitting before saigon, whatever tho, can’t say i really felt him anyways
the 1 interview was boring short guy tryin to act tuff nobody care about him being in jail for shooting innocent people he remind me of 50.cent……2 interview was good n very positive but im not really feeling him.
REAL TALK WAT U MEAN ITS A DUMB MOVE… THERES NO MONEY IN MUSIC.. HE NEEDS A NEW HUSTLE I FEEL THIS DUDE… EVERYBODY DOWNLOADS MUSIC … NOBODY BUYS ALBUM UNLESS IS JAY-Z … SO WATS THE POINT OF RAPPING..
#20 i guarantee he would make more money being a rapper then him going off and trying to do somethin else, what you think he’s gonna do now? next time you see him he’ll be at footlocker helpin you pick out your kicks
im not a saigon fan.. but shit dood seem 100% everyy time he talks… i want to check that new album now. cant wait
SAI DON’T QUIT!!!!!!
if he wants to quit rap thats his problem
i mean i like saigon in al but if you love hip hop/ music you don’t quit, you work through hard times and bad
so i mean yuou have to do wat u have to do
heis better than more than half the people out here
i dont think he will really fits in this generation of commercial rap
damn i wrote a whole paragaph lol
ONE!
Dame too bad,he would have changed hip hop for the better
Saigon is a real dude man,he shouldn’t quit
and the record company spent too much money so they won’t let him
rappers should just put toghetor a 10disc album and sell that khaled style but with more features not just wayne and wayne and khaled and wayne and khaled khaled
Saigon shouldnt quit he’s one of the few who rap for the culture as oppose to doing it for the money like them sell outs, imagine a poet being told what to talk about, thats what rappers have to suffer and some choose not to go that rout and the majority of those rappers can’t sell because thats what the white man wants, they want us to entertain them, and we’ve been doing a good job at that since slavery, so they say lets step into the rap market and they certainly did step in at raps peek (not talent wise) as far as money. Saigon is a hood dude with morals I respect his talent and I respect him as a man… Peace
BULLSHIT!
That dude ain’t quittin. He’s just frustrated cause of his album delays and all the bullshit he’s been through in the game and what not (join the club dammit).
I disagree with those that say he hasn’t accomplished anything though (a gang of mixtapes, T.V. show appearances, and yeah YOU NIGH - IF YOU READING THIS THREAD YOU PROBABLY CHECKIN FOR HIS SHIT!). He just happened to have come into the game at a phu@ked up time with slow CD sales, album budget cuts, complete radio corruption, dowloading/burning, and a poor consumer mentality as to what’s really dope (join the phu@kin club again).
He’ll be straight. He’ll do that non-profit thing and hopefully he can fund his music with it. The he can keep putting out good material like “Don’t Do That” for m/f’s like me.

Saigon and The GAME must be related because both of these ni99as is bi-polar if you ask me.
am I the only one who think itz like the FUNNIEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!????????
nigga didnt even drop an album yet and already threatening to quit…LOL
That’s real fuckin Lame… He’s so tough, that he has to quit Rap, so he can be tough, so people won’t say “oh he’s just acting tuff cuz he’s a rapper” What’s wrong wit this cat, is he still drunk. Please stop blaming Rap for polluting the communities, i like rap, White people put enough blame on rap.
He will be missed….NOOOOT!(in Borat voice)
he speaking the truth tho
F*CK SAIGON HE NEEDS TO GET LIPO FROM THE DR WEST’S SURGEON…
F*CK THAT NEEG AND HIS STUNT!
Way too many conradictions in one message. I used to think he had a solid method to what he was doing, generally i liked his music, but as time’s passed it’s clear he’s also just confused.
HIV & AIDS: the toilet scene in your latest video doesn’t promote safe sex!
He seems to have a genuine awareness of the issues facing us black people, but then seconds after making a bold statement in interviews or videos he fucks it all up with some ignorant shit??? Same issues with Nas back in the day, lack of consistency.
I hope he makes up his mind and continues making good music. It’s too early in his career to be showing weakness.
bushwick really mad at saigon lol
“nigga didnt even drop an album yet and already threatening to quit…LOL”
SAIGON: 2007-2007
its funy how all these rappers are all trying to figure out one thing and that’s how to be like tupac..honesly they all try to keep it real to be different but everything shows in their eyes..they all try to say wut they think we wanna hear but it still shows that it’s all just to portray a certain image..this dudes image sems to be too important to him..meaning he came in the game tryin to maintain an image and it didnt work so now hes tired of actin..rappers gotta come as they self and leave the game as they self. thats 1 reason why ppl say pac was the greatest of all time n it’s true.
ALL U FUCKS POSTING ON HERE ARE MORONS
REAL TALK.
SAIGON MAKIN IT REAL HOT IN DA STREETZ FOR HIMSELF, HE ACTIN LIKE HE CANT GET IT OR SOMETHING!!! THIS NIGGA BEEFING WITH NIGGAS WHO AINT EVEN BEEFIN WITH HIM ie PRODIGY,NELLY AND MELYSSA FORD!! WHAT AN IDIOT!

Damm I never listen to none of Sigon’s stuff but bet ya last dollar i gine peep his his shit now…. thanks for removing the vail of ignorance nigga real talk……..
this is the saddest thing in hip hop. any of you who dont like or care about saigon are morons. he would have been the next great rapper. he could have saved hip hop.

Sagon is wack, any other rapper would of blew from the “Entourage” promo. but he’s wack so thats why hes wack.

hmm i hope it’s just some nerd internet thugging
that was very emotionless

Saigon seems like a good dude and Iv’e been a fan of his music. Quit rap? Why? Naa.. fk it.
HE’S A PUSSY FOR THREATENING A WOMAN ON LIVE RADIO. WE DON’T NEED RAPPERS LIKE HIM IN THE GAME. HE’S BEEN TRYING SO HARD TO BE HARD EVER SINCE HE GOT HIS ASS CHASED OUT OF THE CLUB BY MOBB DEEPS PEEPS.
fuck uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup son . sai came in the game for a reason, he made his mark he did what he did he even suceeded in things rappers have never done do you see other rappers bringing together bloods n crips? see other rappers giving 2 fucks about kids? so fuck up with your comments. sais still the illest. hes still real. and we all know the games fucked up, hip hops been dead. hes got other shit to focus on.
saigon is a weak dude if he quits, its true there are 100000’s of rappers that should quit before he does
Saigon is a bitch straight up bitch firrst the myspace thing with just blaze to the moob deep incident to him getting pushed back again to him getting senesitive about Joey commeting on him now his quitting ? WTF If you can quit like that you weren’t really that committed to music fuck Saigon

Furthermore dude used to be a male cheerleader in Spring Valley… Forget that dude… He’s a waste… Tired of dudes getting online and explaining shit all the time. Telling stories and trynah talk their toughest. if a niggah’s tough he’s just tough.
