HipHopDX: In your past interviews, you haven't been shy about cosigning 50 Cent, you really respect his grind. But in an interview that he had, he said he had never heard of you. Have you met him since then?

Saigon: Nah, I knew him before then. He did that on HipHopGame, but I met 50 way before that. I was in Sha Money's basement when they were recording the second mixtape they put out. I was going to work with 50. But the thing is, 50's so smart. I even took shots at 50 before, on some rap shit. He's so smart to know, at the time when I was just somebody coming up, for him to mention my name would just bring more fans to me. If he were to get in an interview and be like, “Fuck Saigon,” that would bring so many more people to me than I already had. That's how he got in the game. We have the same lawyer, he knows who I am. I was there when Eminem first signed him. I've got a song that Sha Money produced, when Sha Money was working with an artist named P Dap. 50's a smart cat.
