Just Blaze & Saigon Back In The
Lab
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.
