I just decided that meaningless rap beefs = the sound of one hand clapping (it's also remedial life - word to khal). At first I only used that phrase in reference to Saigon's "rap career", but it applies in all facets of meaningless niggatry that is broadcast live on these world wide webs. Just to be clear, I like Saigon's music but I could do without the sideshow antics that make no sense. Anyway, enough about that - here's the latest back and forth between Joe Budden and Saigon.

Joe Budden Talks Saigon with Angela Yee (link via eskay)

Words from Saigon -

For a guy who has had a chance to put out his album and STILL make NO mark whatsoever in the game is pitiful... I really dont even know why Im entertaning a guy who has dropped albums, came in with Desert Storm when they were very VERY hot and in 2009 he's still stuck in the same fucking spot he was in when he came... I know... It doesnt make sense.. This is the first and last diss record Ive ever done in my life so dont expect this to keep going back and forth.. Unlike the mouse, I have a mission with my music and its not just running around trying to start battles but to continue my role as an activist in my community and to teach and uplift the generation coming up under me........ After doing this rap battle shit, I see why this is the only thing he's good for.. The shit is too easy... To sit down and think of ways to make fucking jokes abt someone and make people laugh doesnt take much thought at all..... Hahaha.. Im done after this... Back to my mission... For my fans who told me to take the high road and ignore this clown.... Im sorry......For the Joe Budden fans who are tired of fucking with a fake ass poor excuse for a rapper, come roll with the Yardfather... Lets make history together and change the world...

Saigon f/Prodigy - "Underachiever"

I wonder if Prodigy knows that Saigon used his voice on this track...oh yeah, Saigon loses for lack of creativity (we've already heard the lines about Joey's gal and what's up with bringing up his kid? smh)
