The Greatest Story Never Told - Saigon

[Rivers17ncsu]

You don't think so? I mean I'm not sure if it was or not, but I remember during the Relapse 2 talk it was said he had a Proof tribute track. Difficult is definitely an older song, probably recorded inbetween Proofs death and right around the recording of the relapse material.

Really good album and early contender for Album of the Year, but I can't help but feel disappointed. After seven years of anticipation and spinning his classic mixtapes to death combined with Saigon calling it one of the best albums of the last 20 years, there was simply no way the album was going to meet the expectations I had for it. If I never heard of Saigon and heard this CD I'd love it. The beats are a tad dated, but it goes hard from beginning to end and it's a positive and upbeat album.

My only complaints with this is that the mixing is off on this CD, and I was hoping for a fun track like Stocking Cap or Didundidunt or some hard shit like Come Again, but I understand the omissions that it would have ruined the flow of the album. In the end it's a strong debut album.

This is really the first I've heard of Sai, and I was impressed. I love Bring Me Down. The beat is amazing, and Budden fits perfectly on the hook. Also, the way Blaze sampled the Southside Shuffle in Come On Baby was amazing. All in all, it left a good first impression.
