So I kept quiet with all of this bru-ha-ha over Saigon's sample clearance woes and his bitching out Just Blaze, Atlantic Records and others via his MySpace blog. For someone to be so smart and act so stupid, I thought it was a bit out of character.Then I see this nugget of funk, found over at XXL's news section:
As Saigon prepares to release his debut solo album on Atlantic Records, The Greatest Story Never Told, The Yardfather told XXLMag.com in an exclusive interview that he wanted to reach out to David Banner after hearing the Mississippi native was going to call his upcoming album, The Greatest Story Ever Told. “I just seen a David Banner ad and it said his album is called, Greatest Story Ever Told,” Saigon told XXLMag.com. “I wanted to speak to David so we can clear that up. So if you’re reading this, please reach out to me brother. That’s my friend. We’re cool. When we see each other it’s a lot of love. [But] that’s too close for comfort for me.”Let me repeat that last part one mo' 'gin:

Dog, you haven't released ONE FUCKING ALBUM, and you are ready to step to David Banner over a similar title? Not even the same one (where was KRS when Jay dropped the blue album?), but a similar sounding title? And what does he expect Banner to say? "Oh, my bad, Sai Giddy! I know you been lunching on putting this album out, and I'm 3+ deep, but let me rename mine so you can get some shine"? Give me a fucking break.
Sai, instead of trying to garner more buzz, just finish the damn album, and let your words speak for themselves.
Stupid.

He's had the album done. Smarten up fool.
Sai's rolling with more hype than David Banner ever had even with Like a Pimp. He has that sort of clout.
1) an album that's done and sitting on a DAT in Just Blaze's studio does not really help anyone who has been waiting for this LP for the last couple of years...
2) Sai's rollin' with hype, but it's not necessarily the hype people might want. A lot of disappointment is about due to that hype, again due to the time it's taken for this to drop.
