Saigon – The Rules (Prod. by Statik Selektah)
This Saigon character is a bit difficult to figure out. First he gets some help from Mark Ronson. Then he’s on Entourage, playing himself and building a following. Turtle was his manager. He was all set to blow up in 2005 with a purportedly dope record produced by Just Blaze (Jay-Z, Nas, etc. etc.), titled The Greatest Story Never Told.
But then it seems like he just started losing it and got caught up in this “some dude tried to steal my chain at a night club/I’ve got beef with Mobb Deep/I QUIT the rap game/psych I have a new mixtape/I’ve got beef with Joe Budden” garbage, and everyone got bored.
In any case, this song is admittedly hot and worth a listen (check out the Busta and Soulja Boy samples up in there..):
It’s available as a digital download only, and you can get it here. This album came out in March. Word is that The Greatest Story Never Told is still slated to come out soon, so the story (greatest or not) may yet be told.
