“Why ya’ll supportin’ a n*gga that promotes the destruction of our community? Why are you doin’ that? Why would you let this n*gga thrive and we don’t know where our next jobs are coming from? He’s rapping about selling kilos of ? and selling drugs. This is what he’s about, this whole lifestyle saying he’s so rich and he eats shrimp every night, and ya’ll support this sh*t?,” Sai told SOHH, referring to Ross. “Ya’ll broke and poor and your family’s about to get kicked out. That’s our hit son! That’s his hit. Nobody knows the words to this song, all they know is “ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass” [background noises]. We don’t care about “ass, ass, ass, ass,” but this is the society we livin’ in right now. So it’s like alright.”

I came in here ready to say "Who gives a ? about saigon" but then i read what he said and hes talkin the truth
-
-
who is saigon?
-
In before someone tries to discredit Saigon by citing the low sales of 'The Greatest Story Never Told'.
-
ross and sean will just disregard these comments
-
Saigon bodied buddens and would destroy ross
Ross shouldn't respond or his career will get ended
Nothing but ross's health can end his career -
As a Rick Ross fan I see nothing wrong with what Sai sayin
b/c im a grown ass man, i can listen to 'Rich of ? ' and not actually want to go out and get rich off ? *shrug*
*Turns Rich Forever back on* -
I like Saigon but i must say this, NOT EVERY BLACK PERSON IS BROKE, FROM THE GHETTO, STRUGGLES,ETC. What the ? does he want, a music game of socially conscious music, the Rick Ross's are needed just as much as the Talib Kweli's are needed.
It's about balance to me, even in Reggae music which is the most socially aware music in the world, there is a counter balance of fun music about ? , drugs, money,etc. -
inb4 saigon 2 fans get angry.

Yeah but youre grown.
Im 100% sure that kids growing up nowadays are all like cheif keef and idolize ross and the other rappers like him
Watch The First 48 if you dont believe me, theres always some 16/17 year olds on that ? -
who is saigon?
-
Sai my ngga but its a ignorant POV
I JUST had a discussion with bout 15 of my nggas on an email chain, discussin 2Chainz and BS rap
I hate 2 Chainz, but some of my homies, who are far from broke, listen to him daily.
Music is an escape..motivation...comedic relief (2 chainz). This is not 1990. We do not need Public Enemy to make songs to uplift us. -

Fun doesn't have to equal '? , drugs, and money'. And the only person the drug game is fun to are those who have never experienced it or only experienced it in a very limited amount.
And lastly if you are going to make 'fun' raps about those things, at least tell both sides of the story.
If you're going to rap about all the fast money to be made in the drug game you should also rap about all the cats who have lost their lives in that same drug game and all those doing time over drug related offenses.
If you're going to rap about all the ? you stay in, you should also rap about how African Americans lead America in STD rates and teenage pregnancy.
If you're going to rap about all the money you have, you should also rap about underfunded urban schools, lack of black businesses (in our own communities, mind you) and how 38% of welfare recipients are black despite black people only being 13% of the population. -

So do you think every artist should cater to/ have kids in mind when they make music?
Personally i think Ross is an example of an artist that has done ZERO to show he is 'for the kids'
Whereas Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, Lil Wayne etc. are the real poison b/c they specifcally cater to a young demographic. Imo Ross makes grown folk rap -

so this is what it's about????
Saigon mad Rozay is a narcissistic, cuz he wakes up to a bowl of lobster bisc.
instead of hating on Rozay , what he should be doing is bigging up all the artists that he ? with , the ones that have the message he support .
Lupe was spitting some real ? , on his new single, but ? was crying because Butt Hurt Pete ,sampled the beat, yet he makes original music. -
INB4 Ross stans claim that Saigon is going to apologize within 24 hours dude: -
He's on twitter saying he wasn't dissing ross. must just be towards sean and other such rappers lol

being a teenager I'ma have to no-sign the bolded while music has a HUGE impact on a lot of kids to say ALL of em believe nd follow thru on music being made is ridiculous u aint givin da kids in my generation enough credit as far as decision makin -
I ? with Saigon, however he also has negative themes in his music... of course his music is way more balanced than the folks he's attacking, but whatever...

Nah i love ross's music and sean got some ? i ? with too
And i dont think artists owe anyone anything, its just music
Im just pointing out the fact that to an impressionable kid, music can be an influence to making bad decisions because it affirms a certain type of lifestyle -
He is right, i mean Ross is selling glamorous lifestyles attained through poison but so are hundreds of other rappers, i think he sounds more frustrated than anything. He should offer a means to solve this not just complain about it.
Maybe he should find a medium so he can be more of a balanced artist himself. No one just wants to hear the pain, and at the same time its not good that they only hear the glory...
The shot at Big Sean was cheap though lol, obviously that song is not about the lyrics, its about Nicki Minaj shaking her ass -

Gave you a GOAT for that.
