Saigon Greatest Story Never Told Rar

The Greatest Story Never Told Label: Fort Knocks US Release Date: 2011-02-15 UK Release Date: Import The year is 2007. Download let it be song. Papoose and Saigon are two of the hottest new names on the New York radio and mixtape circuit.

Saigon in particular is buzzing due to the heavy cosign from Just Blaze, who's branching out from his Roc-A-Fella house work to provide most of the beats for Saigon's debut. HBO's latest hit show Entourage is buzzing and Saigon gets an extended arc as Turtle's first signed artist, Saigon. His album is called The Greatest Story Never Told, and at the time, the title seemed more half-assed than exceptionally appropriate. Over the following four years, Saigon would retire from the industry and unretire in a 48-hour period, dip in and out of social media feuds with Just Blaze and his bosses, cut two well-regarded mixtapes and write and record an album with Statik Selektah in 24 hours. But in all that time, one couldn't help but notice The Greatest Story Never Told was living up to its name.

Exceptionally so. In late 2010, the most unlikely of saviors, Kottonmouth Kingz' Suburban Noize label, stepped in as a distributor. In what seemed like some kind of miracle, the album that took Atlantic months and years to unsuccessfully release was in the hands of fans in less than four months. It puts The Greatest Story Never Told in an interesting position. Released with relatively little fanfare, what was once one of the most hyped debuts in hip-hop is now an early-year release dropped under the dark of night on a mostly unsuspecting public. Was it worth the wait? For the most part, yes.

The album starts with an unnecessarily unclever skit about the p-i-g-s hosting a party you don't need an invite to. They'll even come pick you up! The party, of course, is in prison, and the only qualification you need for entry is 'real niggaism'. The actual song based on this analogy, 'The Invitation', is more forgiving to the listener's intelligence and doesn't literally spell things out for you. It's really with the 'Come on Baby' remix featuring Jay-Z where The Greatest Story Never Told begins. In my mind, there's no doubt Just Blaze's chop of J.

Geils Band's 'Southside Shuffle' is one of his most hype concoctions. Jay and Saigon trade masterful verses in the old-school New York tradition of making tracks real enough for the heads but heavy enough for the clubs. The song is sort of a swerve, though, because the rest of Saigon's album is strictly on the conscious tip. Lamar Edwards of 1500 or Nothin' stops by to drench Just Blaze's sampledelic 'War' skit in synthesizers and possibly corrupt his sound forever (see: Maino, 'All the Above'; Eminem, 'No Love'; Saigon, 'Believe It') before we get launched into the highly nihilistic gut of the record. Here Saigon laments the staggering number of people who've left him for dead on 'Bring Me Down, Pt.

2', 'Enemies' and the awesome 'Friends', crafted from a sample of 'Comment' by Charles Wright that bubbles out from under the surface of 'Enemies'. At one point in 'Friends' Saigon mentions being in jail, shortly before transitioning into the title track, which bemoans the numerous social institutions that intentionally and unintentionally keep blacks suppressed in the projects and urban communities. It's one of the first glimpses into the loose conceptual bait of Greatest Story Never Told. Many of the raps here are written from the point of view of a man sitting on his cot, wondering how he ended up locked up and marginalized. 'The Greatest Story Never Told' also contains one of my favorite lines of a young 2011: 'Turn on a TV, all I see is celebs cakin' it / Feel like they got all the bread but ain't breakin' it / I'm takin' it, soon as I find the oven where they bakin' it!'
