Just Blaze and Saigon were exchanging blogs recently (for those who missed it all, check here, here, here and here!)and
some felt there was a dispute between the two. Nevetheless, the two artists hit
the studio and began working on more tracks. How did that turn out?
“It’s funny,
’cause we didn’t speak or talk to each other through all of that
[dispute]…And we finally went into the studio last [Wednesday], and right
away we started arguing again about something else. Right off the bat,
about something totally different that didn’t have nothing to do with [the
clearance issue]! That’s something that we do all the time, it just got out
there a little bit. There’s a lot of respect there at the end of the day. And I
wasn’t gonna disrespect him and he wasn’t going to disrespect me. Like I said,
we cool, we’re friends. Just is my friend first,” Saigon told MTV.
During the blog exchange, Sai admits he felt he may have
been wrong.
“Actually, at first I thought I fucked up…I was
like, ‘Damn, man. Maybe I fucked up [going public], when it became a media
melee and all that. Then I realized it got people talking again, it got people
interested in the music again. So it really worked out for the best, ’cause the
sample got cleared and now it’s on people’s radar again the Saigon-Just Blaze
connection and the album coming out. If that wouldn’t have happened, people
would be talking about something else. It kinda worked out. I’m glad it happened.“
The song in
question throughout the mayhem is currently untitled. It also features Swizz
Beatz on the chorus. Why was that track so important?
“We can’t
wait no more, so that’s the one…We’ll put that out and hopefully it’s gonna
do well. Nobody is expecting it to be the #1 song in the country, but it’ll get
us to second base. Then we got the second one that will bring us all the way
home.”
The Greatest Story Never Told will be released later this
year.
