I QUIT........
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

:'( :'( :'(
probably just a phase he goin through
-
What??? This has gotta be BS. I mean, atleast release the fuckin' album & you know what's fucked up??? Even if he does release the album & quits we're still gonna want more music from him. I agree with Lunatic, this has gotta be some sort of phase.
-
I seriously hope this is only a phase, Saigon is so dope, I have a feeling his album could've been a classic. Don't quit!
Just few days ago, he was talking about releasing the album and doing a duo album with Ture Life, Game sindrom anyone ?
-
he got really got the chance to be one of the greatest i think (i know it's a bit pre-mature, but he DOES have the potential if he keeps hoin like this)
he jus gotta say fuck the media & do him. just fuck them. he shouldn't let them get da best outta em
-
What the fuck? that is lame... i agree people in the media especially on the internet blow stupid shit way out of proportion but hes quitting? fuck that that will just mean he lost
-
he wasnt drunk again was he?
-
DAMN!!! that shit suck's.. saigon was one of my fav artist too.. i was lookin forward to his album.. i hope he's just goin through a phase.. cause Hip Hop need's this dude right here.. true speak!!

This new interview right here is a classic example of Saigon bipolar character:
http://videos.onsmash.com/e/wzVqLGseQZ1Eu5vu
A statement for hiphopgame.com:
Saigon is quitting the game. Here’s the statement he released exclusively to HipHopGame.
“Fuck this wack-ass bullshit, this fake-ass…The game is wack. It’s not owned by us. It’s not controlled by us. All we are are fucking pawns in a chess game and I don’t want to be a pawn no more, so I’m jumping off the chessboard. Take me out the game.
“I think I should be putting more time into my nonprofit organization In Arms Reach and Abandoned Nation. We help the kids of New York City whose parents are incarcerated. Everybody who wanted to support me in this rap shit can support me by going to InArmsReach.org. You don’t have to only send money. You can send books or anything the kids can use. Anything that can help a kid in need, send that. Support me like that.”
Saigon also addressed Joe Budden’s recent freestyle on Rap City, where he said, “With the chicks I hit and run like Saigon.”
“Joe Budden never in his life would have gone to a show of somebody he has beef with, got onstage and performed. Being that he feels so comfortable putting my name as one of the butts of his jokes, I hope feels as comfortable in that hospital gown because I’m going upside his head.
“It’s not just this Joe Budden shit. I can’t even wake up and fart without seeing this shit on the internet and I’m not even famous. Imagine if I was famous. I would go crazy. This shit would drive me fucking nuts. Everybody feels like they got a right to criticize you. I’m not one of these people. I take it personally and I can’t deal with it. If me being a rapper is inviting everybody to throw stones and take shots at me, then I don’t want to be a rapper because I’m going to be the one who ends up suffering. I’m going to do something to one of these people and it’s going to cost me my life and my freedom.
“This is it. The Greatest Story Never Told...I guess you could say it was prophecy.”

“This is it. The Greatest Story Never Told...I guess you could say it was prophecy.”
didn't he already turn in the album to atlantic last week or something?
if so, i'm pretty sure it ain't up to him if the album drops or not
and with this "media craze" this quitting announcement will cause, best believe atlantic droppin that album lol 8)
-
it seems like sai is at the point where he can take the bullshit anymore. All he wants is to relaise his album but he is more than likely getting pressured from all areas .
-
Well, he's a smart ass nigga.
-
I mean, what the hell was he expecting ? That the music biz is a peachy game, where everything is handed to you ?
Sometimes I think Sai is so retarted, that he bascially pictured a record release like this; I make songs, I turn the album to the label and they promote it. The end.
-
I think he's doing something good hear
he got pushed back.... now he's retiring....people are talking.
-
He better not! But I think it's just promotion
-
Has his career even started yet?
-
LOL
I was listening to the Mark Ronson album earlier and he shouted "Saigon 2010" he knew his shit wasnt coming out any time soon...and this was '03
-
One line from Budden killed Sai's career. WOW
-
One line from Budden killed Sai's career. WOW
::)
-
I hope its true.
-
One line from Budden killed Sai's career. WOW
lol
that was a pretty damn good line tho ;D
-
I hope its true.
Why's that? You don't like him I suppose?
-
One line from Budden killed Sai's career. WOW
LOL .. Budden got one of the more pathetic career ever .. thought he was gonna do better numbers than 50 in 03 ::) released an average album and no fucking album for 4 years .. at least he got a win 4 fuckin Gloria Velez lol

exactly. Always liked Saigon, the dude is intelligent. You all know what he's sayin is true right? ..about the media and beef, its a lame state of affairs, the industry and the consumers want rappers to beef for our entertainment, it aint any single individual's fault, its market forces muthafuckers. I can understand Saigon, it must be a bullshit situation to be in because you are actaully a real person, not some actor on the tv screen.

Greatest waste of talent next to Crooked I.
