Saigon - Change Gon Come
Artist: Saigon
Producer: Kickdrums
Album: Inside a Change Soundtrack
Label: Suburban Noize Records/RED
Though the hip-hop landscape’s changed considerably over the latter half of this decade, outsiders’ impressions of the genre are still colored by the same old “gangsta” stereotypes. Saigon certainly knows a few things about this mindstate, seeing that he spent his teenage years in the treacherous streets of early-‘90s Brooklyn. After serving six years in prison for attempted murder, he decided that a Change Gon Come and left his old life behind to pursue a full-time career in hip-hop. Backed by the old-school sample work of Cleveland producers the Kickdrums (best known for their work with Ray Cash), this new single can best be described as Saigon’s “audiobiography to end all audiobiographies;” if the aforementioned rap-haters were to set aside their preconceived notions and simply listen to the emcee’s words, it’s a good bet that they’d reconsider their opinions on the genre. Change Gon Come will appear on the soundtrack to well known music video director Rik Cordero‘s Inside A Change. Both the film and the soundtrack album are scheduled for a limited release this July.

No, this is not a record about Obama becoming our new President. I am anxious to read how many members site the title as the reason why they were "initially" turned off from listening to this record.
Kickdrums come through with a banger on the production tip. Midwest, stand up!

@DJ Z - Well, obviously it's about Obama!!! Lol. :)
I love the anthem-like production. Gets me in a good mood (which is very rare lately). Saigon has a not-all-that-bad flow, so I can listen to this again. Good track. |

Saigon is solid, as a storyteller he is great. The production is pretty epic, and it all adds up to a very solid track.

The Kickdrums on the beat is a great idea with Saigon. Great combination they should collab for a whole album. The hook is pretty good and Saigon is ill with the lyrics! Banger!

I completely feel the concept, I'm sick of the "gangsta" image... -_-'
Saigon has great delivery and lyrics, really catchy and characteristic! He's worth releasing an album more than half what's there. I LOVE the PRODUCTION, it's AMAZING! It's so epic and dynamic and soulful (the occasional flute is my favorite detail)! Jay-Z would so love to jump on this... ;) Fvck it, I'll rate it like I hear it: flawless! @Juanito: S'up with the rating fam? ;) Your review sounds like a 4*. |

This sounds just like some Jay blueprint type shit. I wonder if it will ever happen for Sai@on. He has some skills.

This track is solid, it has a great energy. But I wouldn't listen to it again! I just didn't like the melody, kinda boring. He sounds good, though!

I'd comment on Saigon's flow, but all I heard was that organ. Tasty.
Loving this production. |

Rap music is largely represented to the general public in video format. Visual images substitute for what could be called an ongoing hip-hop "state of the industry" address ....
One might blame it on MTV, BET, Hype Williams, Soulja Boys, Plies even Jay-Z or anyone currently bling-blinging their way across our TV screens, but the hip-hop community as a whole is to blame for the advent of the overblown, glossified, misogynistic, money-obsessed & (usually) artistically bereft rap "artist." Since the market is there & ppl will buy the records, there is really nothing stopping the likes of ... (Insert few of the industry's favorite whipping-boys) from making a cool mill by flashing some bills while rocking a precisely marketed sound ... (Outsider) |
