Saigon - Greatest Story Never Told (Discussion)

[Tha Crip]

^^^
Im just referring to the Preacher version that was on some DJ Neptune mixtape, clearly the og version since i heard the mixtape came out in 05, if you dont got it ill send you it. And for invitation, im just going off on that shitty version thaty leaked (might be on youtube), just blazed had to remake the beats for the version he put out.

[Action!]

Yo, I just read Blaze said that was one of the first tracks him & Sai made.  The og preacher as you put it is actually a freestyle track they cut together.  The album was always different then the one you're talking about and did make the final cut.  I just peeped Preacher "og" and it's dope.

The Invitation, og, sounds like it had live instrumentation more in tune with come on baby and a slightly faster energetic beat.\\

What happened to the original?

[Tha Crip]

I guess whoever's in charge of clearing the samples couldn't clear em in time or at all, so instead of scrapping the song entirely, Just Blaze re-made the beat to what we got now

Yeah, it's slowly starting to lack that replay value.

I still got it in rotation too, but I find myself starting to skip over some songs.

Yo, that happens when you constantly listen to a song.

Ehh, agreed. But I've listened to "Bring Me Down" & the remix with Budden combined more then almost every other song combined & that song still isn't getting old.

A couple of songs though are dying on me.

Give It To Me, Better Way, What Lovers Do. I feel like Oh Yeah is on it's way out.

Not even that they're bad songs, they just get boring & old; hard to listen to.

Do you guys really listen to albums over and over again for so long? I'll listen to an album for a week and then move on to something else. At the end of that period I'll decide which songs should stay on my ipod.

Depending on the album.

For me, some albums are more conceptually driven so I'll bump it a couple of times and then move on.  Tracks are dope in how they fit into the concept of the album.  It's a story.  This album is heavily a themed album so it's not like a 50 album where there's a collection of tracks.  It's more like Reakwon's Only Built For Cuban Linx 2. 

I know what Cham's saying but I think having that perspective when you listen to some music is very limiting.  On the other hand, I also understand a part of making great music is playability. 

As for my i-pod, I move whole albums over so I can attempt to see the artist vision as a whole and not just.  I definitely, fall for certain tracks right away but I'm always impressed by the tracks that don't usually grab me now but later on after a couple of burns.
