Veteran rapper Saigon gives his opinions on everything from Atlantic Records to Bobby Shmurda.

Saigon has been in this game long enough to know its ins and outs. Now over a decade into his career, the MC has released critically acclaimed albums, starred in two TV shows ("Entourage" and "Love & Hip-Hop"), and founded his own record label (Squid Ink Squad). 

We caught up with the NYC native last week to get the word on his upcoming album, The Greatest Story Never Told Chapter 3: The Troubled Times of Brian Carenard, but ended up discussing everything from his past relationship with Atlantic Records to his opinion on up-and-comers like Lil Bibby and Bobby Shmurda (let's just say he's more of a Bibby fan). 

In this 15 minute interview, Saigon shows that he's one of the wisest artists in hip-hop, and a great orator to boot.
