According to reports, Atlantic Records recording artist Saigon is extremely frustrated with the way his debut album “The Greatest Story Never Told” is being handled, and has threatened to bootleg it to appease his fans. He spoke about it in his recent Myspace blog as well.
“Please don’t believe that the hold up of my album has anything to do with me or my work ethic or my rate of producing great music,” he wrote. “If you go to YouTube and type in JBTV Saigon you will hear snippets of my album that Atlantic doesn’t seem to have the desire to release.”
“I just think the once great Atlantic Records has been belittled down to a home of ringtone making artists, like they sign the great jingle writers and real artists like myself don’t get a chance to showcase my musical abilities,” he continued. “I feel like Tupac now…It’s me against the world. Thank God artists such as Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin (Atlantic artists) weren’t signed in this day in time; they would’ve never seen the light of day.”
“Not to worry though, my fans will hear my entire album very soon whether they put it out or not,” he went on to say. “If they don’t I will and let y’all be the judge if the music is great or not. I’m beginning to think that being my album is geared toward the betterment and not the destruction of my people the powers that be don’t wanna release it…cause I know its not the skills…I am the most relevant rapper in the world by far when it comes to my people. Unfortunately they only care about $$$$...Oh well. Welcome to America… Greatest Story Never Told coming this summer…regardless.”

Saigon is the fucking TRUTH. He is so knowledgable whenever he speaks and always tells it like it is. Saigon could have been two albums deep if he got proper industry respect but the fucked up politics of the game are holding him back, therefore making hip-hop worse. Saigon is one of the most important young artists alive and the fact that he still hasn't dropped a major is a shame. The industry needs a serious overhall and REAL ARTISTS have to start getting to shine and they deserve.
Speaking of young greats CA$HIS (signed with Shady) is an incredible artist), The County Hound EP was just released and that shit is a straight up CLASSIC.
co-sign 2 some of the realistic shit that machauman- about 8hrs ago posted^^^^^
Saigon is one of the most talented artists out there, but yaknow those recordlabels (of now) only think about $$$$ nuthin' else!! His latest mixtape wit Clinton Sparks was tha shit. He did his time in jail, while the other artists had there shine, so now it's his time, the snippets that i heard on JBTV where the shit...
and his first single of The Greatest Story Never Told, Pain In My Life are one of the fewest songs i hear so much cause thats sum Real Talk!!
