SOHH Exclusive Vid: Saigon says why his Album will be "better than 'Illmatic,'" Addresses Mistah Fab's Punchline Dis

No beef involved.

Saigon sat down with SOHH's correspondent, H.D, to politick about a few things, including Saigitty's promise that his debut is going to top Nas' 1994 classic debut, Illmatic.

Don't mind the audio glitches:

"The reason I said Illmatic... out of every great album, that's the only one people really cared about. For that time period, a person will never ever do what Nas did, for that time period. He evolutionized hip-hop. I can listen to Illmatic today and still catch new stuff out of it. But to me, my album is gonna do what his album did at that time period, [right] NOW. It's gonna make people care about the music more so than all the other bullsh*t going around."

Then came:

"Put you in a box and you never coming out like Saigon's album."-- Mistah Fab's at last week's AHHrap battle

Ouch.

"I seen Fab today I called him right 'cause that's my man," Saigitty told H.D. "I said 'son, you took a shot at me son?' He said 'Nah I didn't mean it like that...' So at first I was mad...I said, 'son how you gonna use me like that in one of your punchlines?'"

Buddies or not, I'm not sure if I understand how Fab "didn't mean it like that." But iight.

When you admit that your fans should have given up on you by now, and say yourself that you wouldn't wait five years for your favorite rapper to drop, that's not a good look. You should never let the power of label politicks get your mind to playing tricks on you.

CORRECTION: H.D informed me that I confused Mistah Fab with Fabolous. That was my mistake. Mistah Fab is a rapper from the Bay Area which makes that entire segment of the blog irrelvant since I could give a two craps but I just wanted to clear air.
