The Best Hip-Hop Album of February 2011 - The Greatest Story Never Told by Saigon
I've been away for a minute and I apologize for not bringing the monthly joints as promised but I am here to catch up so let's get started.
2011 started off great with the release of Talib Kweli's album Gutter Rain which received by best album of January pick and it was tough because Mistah F.
A.
B.
From the west coast came in at a very close second.
This month's choice was more difficult but not because of the quality of Hip-Hop albums released but the quantity.
A lot of straight bull crap was released in February and it was almost painful having to listen to all that garbage.
But I did so that you wouldn't have to.
Clear the award of The Best Hip-Hop Album of February 2011 goes to Saigon and his released titled The Greatest Story Never Told.
After many years of grinding with mix tapes and street albums the 32 year old Brian Daniel Carenard, aka Saigon, dropped pure fire which is destined to make him a Star before the end of this year.
Only time will tell if The Greatest Story Never Told is a classic but it is clearly the best album of February 2011.
Released on Suburban Noize records and produced by Just Blaze The Greatest Story Never Told is a quality piece of work.
Joined by an all-star cast including Jay-Z, Marsha Ambrosius, Raheem Devaughn, Faith Evans, Bun B, Fatman Scoop and Q-Tip, amongst others.
The Greatest Story Never Told succeeds in not sounding like so many albums that are nothing but duets.
These artists add their talents respectively to elevate Saigon's craft and enhance each song rather than dominating them and that in itself is a feat worth praising.
Is this a perfect album? By all means no.
The songs Better Way with Layzie Bone and It's Alright fell kind of flat to me but hey, they might be perfect for you.
Several others fell just short because I heard potential not realized either musically or lyrically but the may be perfectly acceptable to you.
However there are enough songs that are winners that provide more than an hour worth of hot joints.
Program your mp3 player with tracks: 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 18 then lean back and bang out.
And there you have it The Best Hip-Hop Album of February 2011 is The Greatest Story never Told by Saigon, get it.
