Saigon – “The Rules”
AUDIO By TSSCrew on March 11, 2009 at 2:02 pmWords By K1NG
Saigon, who was nearly absent in 2008 other than his Just Blaze produced banger “Believe It,” seems to be on a mission to be in everyone’s consciousness for 2009. First it was his Youtube video taunting Mobb Deep affiliate Un Pacino with his shirt off and back & forth with Atlantic. Then, it was his short-lived beef with Joe Budden that was interesting but forgettable to say the least.
All of that behind him, Sai seems to be back on the right track with new music that might actually end up being released through a label. Apparently, the New York MC hooked up with Boston producer Statik Selectah to collaborate on an album that was completed in 24 hours fittingly entitled All In A Day’s Work. The first single off of the ambitious project is a banger called “The Rules,” that includes a hungry sounding Saigon spitting 3 great verses over a beautifully chopped sample provided by Statik and a hook based around the lyrical styling of a 1996 Busta Rhymes and a 2007 Soulja Boy for an odd yet riveting combination. If the track is any indication of the rest of the project, Hip-Hop fans have a great album to look forward to this year.

What an old busta sample. It makes the track.. Saigon is definitely stepping his game up these days though.
This is off-topic (as Saigon just does not move me – it is funny how the Internet can actually influence your DISLIKE of an artist by making major predictions on a grand scale that just can never, and will never occur. Sometimes this space can hurt more than it can help in some regards).).
Anyway, I digress.
The true reason for this post is just to capture in retrospect, how much the musical blog game has changed SO quickly in such little time. Basically the [quick] rundown being this:
The blog game is like the Rap/Hip-Hop game. You have a saturation of blogs/bloggers, all with the same music available… attempting to present it in a different way in order to gain the attention of that one visitor (listener).
Well, TSS did that for me years ago – back in its blogger/blogspot days – and I have not looked back.
If I thought about it, I could probably tell you quite easily what the difference is about TSS being one of my first three web visits of each day (when I am not away)… but I suppose it does not truly matter [the reason(s) why].
TSS just has it like that.
I guess the “same ‘old blog” nonsense stops at new music. I mean, Gotty™ has readily admitted that you can go to a hundred other blogs and find [most of] the same music…
But it is the details that keep you here [as opposed to "there" – wherever "there" may be].
Just a random though for today.
Peace.
