German producer, Shuko, is releasing an album on February 3, which features the likes of Masta Ace, Evidence, B-Real, Blu, Talib Kweli & much more. I found this track from the project which features 3 artists that I really enjoy listening to. It's weird hearing these 3 vicious emcees collaborate over such a pop-sounding beat, but their verses are still dope and the message is strong. Check it!
"When it's time for me to say sayonara/ Y'all gon be sayin' that Sai a martyr/ And that I'm a lyrical firestarter/ Yea I kinda sorta be lyin' on my dick/ Cause it's a lot of chicks I hit I will not admit/"
Saigon just dropped this DJ Premier produced track from his upcoming GSNT3: The Troubled Times of Carenard (which releases September 30). Can't remember if Preemo and Saigon have linked up before, but this track proves them to be compatible. Check it.
"Though she probly feeling lower than the Everglades/ Though her life probly seen a lot of better days/ Gotta admit, the way she look into that little face/ She knew I was the best mistake she ever made/"
Saigon just dropped a new track outta the blue. It's a little sappy, and these are the kinda Saigon songs that I end up avoiding from his albums. Regardless of it sounding like a radio song, it's still a cool idea that I haven't heard before. The Yardfather's still on point with the rhymes as well. Check it.
"You make it rain, you be throwing them stacks? (that's rap)/ But when your daughter choose to work in that field (that's real)/ Niggas gassin' you to ride with your strap (that's rap)/ You should listen to who tellin you 'chill' (that's real)/"
This is one of the most eye-opening tracks from Bread n Circuses II, and also one of my favourites. Saigon keeps it G as always and spits the truth over a hard beat. I really like how he made contrasts of every line throughout the song. The shit he says is sort of a reminder to anybody out there thinkin' the rap game's all flashy cars and horny women. Here's the track along with some recently released visuals. Check it.
"Sai, non-killable, science in every syllable/ Farther civilized, wise, deeper than your biblical/ Slums'll curse me, coerce crime contaversy/ Intriguing evil entering the mind, conquer mercy/"
This freestyle would be much better if Saigon didn't swear as much. Actually fuck that, it's BET's bitch ass staff that makes it difficult to enjoy a crazy hip-hop verse. I wanna get my hands on an uncensored version of this because it was sick as hell. In this video, Saigon hits the air in the Backroom at BET to show the world his potential over a really dope beat, and his ugly hat. Check it.
"Alcohol killed more people than all/ So called illegal drugs put together for sure/ So why is it something you could just go buy at the store?/ (It's a crazy world)... It's something I can't call/"
As always, Saigon's gotta make a point. In this song he makes a shitload of em, giving us a reason to believe that the world we live in is crazy. From WorldStar nonsense, to the Osama Bin Laden situation, Saigon makes an attempt to open your eyes a bit and give you a sense that there's a lot going on in the world that we're so quick to not care about. Gotta respect the man for keepin it real!
"Now all along they thinkin we do a song how we bang the girls, I said naw lil' nigga we bout to change the world/
And when I turned it in expecting a grin, they gave a nigga this look like 'never again'/
And I looked back at them like 'never again', I love all of you mother fuckers but just as some friends/
I can't do music if it ain't got a message within, I guess y'all can leave that up to the rest of them then/"
So K Brenton just showed me this song and was telling me he was thinkin of blogging it but the homie is getting jacked so I'm the guy to bring you that sick hip hop shit for the day. This song was awesome. I always wish more people heard songs like this because they think the industry is one way when it's really not. I got in an argument with someone saying I don't dislike mainstream music, mainstream is just what is popular. I don't like when the mainstream becomes taken over by people created by the industry. And I know about the industry doin that because of songs like this; others that pop into my head are "Just to be Different" by Joe Budden or "Industry is Punks" by Tech N9ne. Songs explaining an artist realizing getting signed to a record label means they have to sacrifice their integrity and change who they are, ultimately leading them to abandon that path. Anyways, he kills the rhymes and message and Marsha Ambrosius provides a great chorus with a nostalgic feel from an earlier hip hop. Check it out.
Naw we just caught in a world that we call pretending where pretend-to-be niggas been pretending from the beginning/ The minute women are sinnin' in a minute just listen to the infants, they morals becoming so inconsistent/ Lil' boy with his wrist split, lil' girl thinkin strippin' is a business, that's cuz their mother wasn't against it"
I don't bump Saigon that often cuz I have a little bit of a weirder taste but Brenton has one of his songs playin often enough that I know he's dope and really down to earth and just an all around good straight hip hop cat. This song kinda seems like one that's gonna pass by in a day or so without barely anyone taking notice when it was actually a very self conscious song. One that down the road people will look back and realize how much this song defined a generation that you can easily observe all around you if you take a second to be mindful. I don`t really know what else to say about this song, just kinda spoke to me in a way. Check it out, hope you enjoy.

Sai giddy is back in the buildin' suckas! And he brought Chamillionaire along, and totally misused an opportunity to collaborate with him. Half of the reason I checked this song was to hear Cham, but he just does background vocals in the chorus. Quite the piss off, but it's all good. This song turned out to be pretty sick anyways. The smooth beat makes the chorus sound real nice, and as always, Saigon brought the fire to this record. This track is from Saigon's second studio album, "Bread and Circuses", which released yesterday. Check it.
"This is cause for celebration for the Monster generation/
Who've been calm and sittin' patient for a proper education/
Or an honest explanation bout the trials and tribulations/
People dyin' in our nation, seeing lies on every station/"
If I hadn't known of Iron Solomon from rap battles online, I probably would never check his music out. But I'm thankful as hell that I discovered him, because he's a fucking beast who deserves a lot more recognition. When I seen that this track featured another two underdogs that I enjoy listening to, I had to check it out. My favourite part is Iron Solomon's verse. He kills it. I don't really have much more to say lol, just listen to this shit!
I might run in the precinct with a gage in my hand/

With a sequel to Saigon's last album on it's way, "The Greatest Story Never Told 2: Bread and Circuses" has me eager to hear what he's been workin' on lately. The chorus sounds really similar to his song "Bring Me Down Pt. 2", but it's still sick. Saigon always has some cool shit to rap about, and does it flawlessly. The guitar beat along with the distorted chorus make the song have a sort of deranged feel to it. The lyrics of the chorus are fuckin sick too. Check it!
I'm gonna be honest. I have no knowledge of the production team, JR & PH7. I just checked this song out because Saigon had a verse in it. It turned out to be an alright track. I usually hate when I hear Freeway's voice, but he was alright in this song. Saigon's flow was a lil strange, but he was still killin' the rhymes, and Ras Kass was alright too. I really liked the beat, but yeah. Random find lol.
I tried to told ya. Don't sleep on the Yardfather! Saigon's one of the best lyricists in the game right now in my opinion. This track, "Down this Road", is the perfect example of why I think that. At first I didn't really like the chorus, but as the song progressed it seemed to suit the mood of the song better.
"You Make Me Sick"
I fuckin' love this one. Here's Saigon's stab at all the fake rappers out there. Proof that you don't need to front to be one of the illest. I'm still kinda thankful for wack rappers though. Without 'em, tracks like these would have never been created. I guess they're good for something haha.
Damn. I woke up this morning, started browsing through some hip hop websites and I stumbled upon this. Apparently Cormega, Saigon, Action Bronson and Roc Marciano have formed a supergroup named M.A.R.S. Based on this song, Cormega's verse isn't the greatest. And I don't know much about Roc Marciano, but I wasn't really feeling his verse either. But the reason I'm posting this is because I'm a huge fan of Saigon, and old-school Cormega. I also know that Action Bronson has a sick style which could be comparative to certain Wu-Tang rappers. This song didn't really get me hyped for the new supergroup formation, but could this group eventually be a highlight for hip-hop in 2012? What do you think?
