I was listening to 50 Cent Vs Saigon today and this dude was a great answer to 50. He had street bangers, He had great conscious records, Sick Mixtapes, and access to one of the biggest producers(John Blaze). He had a great balance. Even had Jay on his club banger. could Had he released GSNT in like 2005-06 he would have been a player despite the bullshyt.

What happen to this fukking dude? Seen him on Love and Hip Hop and I was just :snoop:

He kinda embarrassed and hurt his image before this latest debacle, but it's more visible, and more doses of this dudes antics. He did those videos showing off his old weightlifting trophies, the incident with Somaya Reece, or one of those 10 min of fame video girls, he was acting really desperate, that video with him in the CLS counting like 20k, in a regular looking apartment complex….But, this Love and Hip shyt, from the little I've seen, isn't so much his behavior on the show, just his participation in something as contrived, and mostly lacking in any real heart or substance, this is like the antithesis of Saigons lyrics in the mid/early 2000's..He has dope tracks that still get play, but he's a has been, and kind of a tragic tale of the music industry in general. Im sure of dude was in a good position he'd never go on that show..clearly he isn't/wasn't...

What was the story with those video hoes? I don't follow too much of that gossip shyt so I'm very behind(admittedly) But what went down? I remember him playing himself horribly with dissing Ross and then apologizing a day later

I don't really remember it too well but i think he was simpin some video girl askin to take her out to go get ice cream or some shyt and she played him so he caught feelings and started gettin at her on social media...after that she exposed him, they had an argument on the radio (shade45) and made up but even after the argument saigon was still tryin to simp the broad lol..it was a long time ago but i think i got the story right

I'm sure he did the show because they make 50,000 an episode, but I doubt Saigon was hurting for paper. He got paid nicely for Entourage plus he tours and does a lot of shows.
