Whats up everybody??? First of all, I must say I was and still am amazed by the responses I get from the whole thing about me quitting the rap game. I have recieved literally thousands of messages, many phone calls from very influential people, and much support from just everyday people I may bump into on the street...The love is overwhelming I must say. I got over 500 comments on  MySpace alone which was very encouraging considering its many more than I got for indulging in some ignorance with certain ignoramus' ..I got a very appreciated phone call from my brother Lupe Fiasco that really made me look at things from other angles.....Shout out to that brother and congratulations on that CRAZY album... Support that. I also got a very deep call from Datwon Thomas (Editor in Chief) from King Magazine...Thanks man, I got you Homie...Much love to EVERYBODY who expressed their concern whether good or bad...And thank you to everyone who left a comment on here, I was reading them joints like, 'Damn....Wow.....Whoa'

   I still feel the same way I did a month ago when I expressed how I felt about the state of Hip Hop..I still feel it needs a major makeover ..I expressed this to my team and what they said was 'If not you Saigon, then who'? Then I started to think about all the schools I went to to talk to the kids about Gang Prevention and Prison Reform. I thought about one of my closest friends mother, who is a teacher at one of the worst schools in Camden N.J. and how she rewards them by bringing me up there to talk to the kids. I thought about the 12 year old girl who told me how my song 'Pain in my Life' stopped her from being promiscuous. I thought about my song 'The Color Purple' and talking to Fab 5 Freddy about how we could start a whole movement with this song to save some of the lives of black and brown children..I thought about the kids at In Arms Reach and the example I would be ultimately setting by just quitting at something they know I love doing and have worked so hard at..I thought about alot of things...After all the messages from yall, the phone calls from the 'real' industry people, and just the thinking I did...I decided 2 things, I decided that right now quitting is not an option for me, and number 2, that if Im going to continue to make music and do this rap thing...Im playing by MY OWN RULES....If youre not with me, youre against me....We have a plight to help save lives and enlighten people that we have some serious adjustments to make..So if youre a D.J. or a journalist who does something that is going to try and hurt what were trying to do, eg. not supporting my records or trying to slay me in the media, you are against me and what I stand for...If youll play a song that celebrates black and brown (other races too but mainly us) people killing each other, selling drugs to each other, or making it rain 1$ bills on some poorly eduacated young misled girl, but wont play the meaningful positive music....Youre against what we stand for and probably dont deserve that powerful position.With that being said, If I have to ever go back to prison, It shouldnt be over me hurting someone over what set they claim, or over a drug war, or cause somebody dissed me or some stupid shit like that, NO..It should be over the handling of the ones who continuously push this poison onto our children...This way I will feel personally justified everyday..And please dont take it as me making threats, I dont make threats...Im sorta like a suicide bomber for black children, If I have to give my life to save the lives of our children then geuss what? I will....Yall can go out gangbanging, or over a chic, but Im going out like THAT..

With all this being said,.My album WILL be released VERY soon.. Me and Just Blaze put alot of work into this thing, its finally done and we're more than happy with it...I feel there hasnt been an album this relevant since........Ever. This album is sure to shock alot of people...Hahaha I have literally 12 features on the album...All LEGENDARY artist...All of them, but I am the ONLY one rapping on my album..Oh, and Jay Z of course. Go figure.I wont give up much more about the album, YET...Oh I will say that I have a song produced by Kanye West and Just Blaze TOGETHER, that is a first, I think..hahaha..Regardless its crazy...Oh, I love Come on Baby even though the label didnt really support it, but I have decided that being Im coming back to do this and its a New Year, I needed a NEW first single (only I can do that)...So I will have a NEW first single out probably by Christmas Day...Whoever doesnt support this will again be going against what we (Abandoned Nation) stand for and it wouldnt be a good thing.....I Promise. Oh, and being Im back in this shit I could promote my new Street Album, the Moral of The Story..The shit is fantastic, you NEEEED that in ya life...Stand out cuts are, The God aka What A Life, In A Mess,Saigon Meets Just Blaze and tooo many more...These are on my page so you can sample the greatness...I mean, Who (besides maybe Nas) can paint a perfect picture like me...NOBODY....Get that Moral of the Story now and the Greatest Story coming Reeeeal soon.......Oh, I wanna thank Just (Futuristic Man ) Blaze for showing me what a blog was..I remember 3 months ago everyone saying ' Damn Saigon is the Blog Bandit' Now everyone and their mother has a damn blog.....hahahahaha thats too funny.. Im back better than ever, back looking like me....Oh for anything you wanna know Saigon related please visit www.abandonednation.com ....Look out for the newest artist from Abandoned Nation......Boogie Down's own Atrocity....

'It feels good to be home'.. Touch the Sky -Kanye West

I know you all are seeing this YouTube video of like 25 Mobb Deep niggaz chasing me out the club...And helll fucking yeah I dipped up up out of there untouched.....

But that was after I snuffed little punk ass Prodigy...They can edit it and lie all they want but , But when you hear the nigga say 'Oh' the first time is when i rock him... right before you see my man rock him, The second time is when my man rocks him... I rocked him first, thats what makes the kid with the red hat try to get at me and got everybody hype..Why didnt they slow down that part? If you notice I punch prodigy right into my mans hands...And fuck yeah I got up outta there...Them niggaz was 30 deep and I went to their party, grab the mic, did my song and punched Prodigy in his face.. (I wasnt even on the bill to perform) This nigga told me to suck his dick so he got rocked, at his show..Im not with the promoting violence shit and we couldve kept it between us, but these assholes go make a youtube video talking about I was hiding under a table and all this shit...Editing and lying about a watch and shit....Fronting ass niggas...Now i gotta show the real...

 

I see niggas laughing cause I was running up outta that mufucka, damn right..I think the shit looks funny as hell too...And all yall talking about I wouldve stayed there and got my ribs broken and all that, ya frontiing....or ya fucking stupid..I had already rocked Prodigy, it was time to dip up outta there...Shout out to Big Chris for the human sheild technique, He said, you got em, lets gooo and we went......I toooold Prodigy I was gonna get him...Whose story is real....? hahahaha I never take L's....

http://videovault.morrisvideos.com/videos/saigon_vs_mobbdeep_version2

Right when they say Im supposed to be hiding under the table, You see right before my man rocks Prodigy I give him the overhand right...Thats when the guy with the red hat tries to get at me.. Thats what sent prodigy flying into my man, who rocked em again...And I never got touched at all, That fat nigga fronting at the end, ya fronting, Nobody hit me, I was grabbed from behind....Edit shit all you want to promote havoc album...P know I got him though...And dipped up outta there..smooth....hahaha... Lets get the facts straight people.......

First things first, I wanna put shit in its proper perspective ...Just Blaze is not only my friend and my producer...But he is a GREAT example of a black man..I know alot of people hear his name and his music and assume that Blaze means he must smoke some POWERFUL shit before he goes into make a beat but your talking about a man who never smoked weed in his life...He has never drank alcohol in his life. he has extensive morals and is VERY family oriented.. If I had a child and were looking for someone to set an example of what it means to be a stand up guy, I couldnt think of anyone better than Justin Smith aka Just Blaze to do so....I know yall see the back and forth shit between us and I admit I was stupid for my part in it...But its like 2 brothers fighting in the street when they couldve went inside the house  and shot 5 in their bedroom...You will NEVER see that again so I hope you enjoyed it...I love Just Blaze to death and I will bleed or make someone else bleed for that dude...Not because he makes good beats or he produced my album, but because he has a big heart...Im cool with his Mom, Brother and Auntie (who is super cool).... And since I was dumb enough to engage in this online public fued..Im man enough to use the same forum to apologize to him for not just calling him and expressing whatever I felt was wrong..If you read this my Nigga, I apologize..Real spit...U my nigga..

Now on to the point of this Blog....With my now VERY public discontent with not the label, but MY personal sitiuation at the label, I figured I needed to get some BIG guns to help my sitiuation.. Im sure there will be more understanding now hahaha...

I remember when I first came out of prison my friend Che Johnson brought me to meet Chris Lighty and I was in awe just to be meeting someone so powerful in the music business..(plus Im a huge Jungle Brothers and Tribe Called Quest fan so I was extra hype)....I dont even know if he remembers this but he was telling me how his client N.O.R.E lived right down the street from him or something to that effect...I was so intrigued by all the platinum plaques on the walls I was only half paying attention, mind you I was about 2 weeks out from doing a very loooooooooooong time in prison...My point is, I never in my life thought this guy would be managing my career one day....Yes its officially official..I am now managed by Violator and the stakes are higher than ever...Its a problem, TRUST.....God works in mysterious ways but he works..hahahaha..Im very proud to be a part of such a prestigous comany who has put in so much work in the business...Not only has Violator stood the test of time, they also are innovating the wave of the future so as we say in hood "Im good Money"......Ive pretty much been managing myself this whole time (6 years) and already in this short time (a week), Ive already seen a world of difference...Thank You Laurie Dobbins for the insight you have already given me ...Lets make some more history...Thank You Theo (my high powered attorney haahaha) for the plug in....Thank You Chris for the opportunity,  I know youre a busy busy man.....Prieciate it Homie..Lets make it....All hate is welcomed..Thanks....

From now on, any interview or show request please contact ldobbins@violator.com.... gotta love it......
