Your prolly wondering why I'm posting this here but as you know it's hard to find ppl on the net with any sense. Sooo I'm askin you guys. ;)

Saigon has the lyrical ability of Nas, Kool G Rap, and Papoose. He has good flow, hooks, amazing beats by Just Blaze, and lyrics you can feel. O yeah he spent half his life in jail and at 31 years of age he tryin to turn his life around. He should be the best rapper in the game right now if he could drop an album with some promotion! He's an underground rapper with charisma. For years now hip hop fans have been complaining about rappers with no conscience. We have one here now with one and he goes unnoticed

I was of the impression that the appearance on Entourage had done him some good toward getting above ground...

Haha you got me. But with Just Blaze backing him up he could make a rap album on par with Ready 2 Die, Illmatic, or 36 Chambers. Not to many lyrical rappers that can make great music sonically.

I don't follow the pop cultural/financial aspects of this stuff all that much...how big a deal was Moral of the Story?  Just Blaze is responsible for most if not all the production on that album, and my understanding was that rap fans who had listened to it were in your camp as far as advocating his work was concerned - though 'best rapper in the game' may be seen by some as a stretch.

1st of all Saigon isn't going to use his best material on a mixtape. 2nd Moral of the story was better than 75% most hip hop albums this year.

Nas still has the best album this years

Saigon is one of my favorites. He's been in the underground scene for a while now.

To be the King of Hip Hop casual fans need to be able to hear the rhymes clearly.  He can flow but not for the radio, not yet.  

He sounds too rushed with everything and the casual fan will stop listening when they can't follow the rhyme.  

Honestly at one point all I heard was, "Analytical subliminal political criminial synical lyrical...etc."

Now if Biggie say's, "either you're slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot"....

Which lyric will you remember?

Just because you can go 200mph in your lamborgini doesn't mean you're Mario Andretti.  

I think people are waiting for an MC that doesn't glorify violence (they might have found him, in Lupe) and in the near future you'll probably see a lot of them and some will be good and some will be bad and one will be great... This guy is good but not the great one.

But Big Pun had loads of these types of quotables and he's a legend(kind of). Pun's potential was scary good!

And plus Saigon has put down some good stories in his songs and not all his songs sound rushed it was just this one I mean unless he's freestyling

Saigon is the truth

He out does Kool G Rap on that one, NSFW

He was also on the hands down best track of 2008
