February 2012, Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, the snow is in full swing, looking gray and orange-red bricks of the many "public housing" disappear make a visual monochrome black spots like grime accumulated from years of low-level social policies could not be covered, genetic fate sticky DNA Brooklynien Neighborhood. Traffic is slow on the sidewalks, the movements are episodic, off an old lady using her as a cadis ramp security over the frozen sidewalks while a bunch of kids having fun to chain slips downhill. For the homeless, is physical survival, jackets piled on top of each other, squatting arranged with perforated plastic sheeting alcohol and first prize for a warming sensation very ephemeral. And in lot of these anonymous, a newcomer but far from unknown Brian Daniel Carenard . His condition of SDF, he saw her recently and without understanding exactly why. The neighborhood is witnessing his night laments alcohol without complaining. He has not quite lost his mind, he Not the victim as so many of the subprime crisis or the crisis itself. It is not a golden boy who lost everything in stock or a junkie fixed at one of many addictive that life delivers. No, the man known as Saigon lost everything because his fate predisposed to chain failed.
From its discovery in the new millennium in the year 2011, Saigon fell to the status of legend freshman to finish in the box "without project". The arrival of his first LP would rekindle the flame and start the buzz on his person. With Hollywood as a scenario, we expected no less than The Greatest Story Never Told except that the reality is far from finished as planned.
As has happened so that in the year 2012 Saigon is found in the street? First, if the star of your story does not called Will Smith, you have little chance that your story ends up in happy endings, especially if you are aged over 30 years and have chained wolves as others donned pearls. Then a album, particularly the first, it is a consecration of both efforts since the beginning of his career that the work done to produce it. And at this level and as evident when one name is Saigon, our family without Remi rap us an airball artistic loose and if the strategy was to cast a wide net mode AK47 musical history to eat all the racks, the auditor him, the impression of being in Pulp Fiction roles in Samuel L Jackson or John Travolta to wonder how the guy in front was able to empty his magazine without touching them ...
Advanced a title like The Greatest Story Never Told, is at least have the whole issue of insurance lines and a gold Storytellin Therefore, it is not a level of writing Tony Yayo worthy that can qualify. Exaggerated? Specifically listening to tracks like Lovers Do What The or Come On Baby (Jay-Z is far from innocent ...) hype becomes reality. For the rest, at any time you find yourself in moments of grace Warning Shots were the .
unnecessary addition to guests like Jay-Z , Faith Evans or Marsha Ambrosius (come and ask what interest already pitched on a chorus?) to name a few, and not to mention the many existing tracks and then re-cleaned without any added value (the opposite), the other big spine of the album remains pervasive Just Blaze production . Specifically, Just Blaze, and always a talented beatmaker able to leave warheads by musical traumatic cons in terms of producer, then it gets stuck strongly: the long format, it does not control. Because apart from being a huge aficionado of the foot (or should I say: the cumbersome) Just Blazienne, this can be a skeud kills love for the listener and should have good strong jaws to enter Repeated work JB be rough on B ring Me Down either banal or the eponymous track Better Way.
There will still be entitled to his little consolation prize on this album through the sequence of Enemies and Friends where Blaze demonstrates some "humanity" at the controls. Finally, Buckwild, with its taf on Nineteen Ninety Now , delivers large-scale production of the album Oh Yeah (Our babies) like a cry of liberation, only to stick perfectly to the beat style Saigon ...
's career Saigon follows the path of a stray bullet, if you do not know in which direction it turns, it More likely it will eventually crash into a wall. If the intro to this column is that romance and we can not wish such an outcome in Yardfather , yet it will be hard to face a certain reality: T he Greatest Story Never Told na 'not the middle or the impact to revive the career of Saigon. And despite some efforts and a form of rabies oscillating between hope and despair that closes this album on And The Winner Is , Saigon must be content to remain in the shadow of big names with the humility that is for losers ...
