Gotta Believe It

Drunk as a prick I was skipping through late night TV on Saturday when I came across 106 & Park on BET. I sometimes watch 106 & Park because it's hilarious, but low and behold Saigon and Just Blaze's 'Gotta Believe It' is being played. What? Saigon on 106 & Park? For 'Gotta Believe It' which is over a year old? I can dig it. Reminded me of my version which I didn't have to hand when I started typing this until I thought that I should probably check my sent items on Hotmail to see if it was there. It was. YEY.

Everything I say on this record is true. I really did have a cancer scare and it really did mess with me for a few days.

I got an anonymous tip in a comment that Juzt Blaze was previewing a lot of the Saigon album on Mogulus. I've heard some incredible shit in the last twenty minutes. God damn. I heard a hot vaulted Joe Budden record a few minutes ago too.

UPDATE: Damn Just Blaze just said he was stopping.

Uncle Murda & Jay-Z

So Just Blaze has already explained what the deal is with this record, It was recorded in the Blueprint 2 era and should never have leaked. You'll notice the Fat Joe disses in his verse, not a lot of people know that Jay went at Joe with the subliminals for years "Everybody's looping up soul, it's like they're trying to make the Blueprint 2 before Hov", I remember Why Lout? sitting down and listening to 'Jelous Ones Still Envy' the day it dropped and going "The fuck is this? He thinks he's Jay!?" You may also remember "The pressure's on but guess who aint gonna CRACK? Pardon me I had to laugh at that" straight, sideways, corner mouth sublime. Jay was the best with the sublimes, it's why you can't be beefing with him.

Anyway, back to the song. I don't care that it's an old Jay verse with an old Just beat. I just care that I'm hearing Murda and Jay on a track together. Internets get on your job, you know we need this collaboration, we actually need Jay-Z Feat. Uncle Murda & Jadakiss on that 'Blueprint 3' but that may be asking a lot. We all need to post this song and say "God damn Murda went in. Him and Jay need a record together" then we may get one. What was it Joe Budden said during his beef with Ransom? "Internet sooollldddiiieeerrrsss"

Just Blaze goes OFF on the MPC5000

AKAI just dropped their latest MPC; the MPC5000. We mess with MPCs a lot (less so at the moment actually). I was actually quite excited about the MPC5000, internal synth? That sounds genius! Jack was skeptical, very skeptical, we watched all of the Youtube preview videos and as I salivated further Jack became less and less interested. It would appear he was correct (it is his specialist subject after all). Just Blaze bought the new model off the shelf and let's just say it didn't go down very well.

My problem here is: THIS THING IS COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE!

Some of the bugs in this thing are ATROCIOUS.

Semtex played me

Ha! Sem's been my favourite DJ on 1Xtra since day one and just now he played me for the first time. I'm so happy right now. What did he play you ask? You've heard 'Believe It' right? No? Oh that's right, that went to Semtex first, it's on 'The Blogspot Mixtape' out MONDAY!

Saigon free

I just found out that Saigon and Just Blaze worked out a release from Atlantic Records. I don't think it's an ego thing when I say that I always saw a parallel between mine and Saigon's careers. The time lines matched and everything. I really hoped that 'Devil In The Distance' would come out the same year as 'The Greatest Story Never Told' it was one of things I was looking forward to saying this year, I hope them getting their release from Atlantic means that they can press ahead with the album which Just Blaze says he kept the masters to. I am a genuine Saigon fan as you may have been able to tell from my 'C'mon Baby Freestyle' and I'm obviously a Just Blaze fan. For all the people disappointed that 'The Greatest Story Never Told' is looking like a 2009 release I promise 'Devil In The Distance' will bridge the gap. For the time being Just Blaze just leaked this new Saigon banger. That's that soulful shit we need.

Saigon- Believe It

UPDATE: Saigon talks about leaving Atlantic on his MySpace
