Saigon: "Too Long" f. Black Thought

9:58 a.m. · February 12, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

When the full album stream for Saigon's The Greatest Story Never Told hit MySpace, it appeared that everyone was absolutely loving what they heard. One of the few complaints, though, was that it was missing one of the more sought-after tracks, "Too Long," which featured Black Thought. Anyone worried about that discrepancy can now breathe easy as the song will appear on the album as a bonus track. The two MCs put their battle rhymes to the side for "Too Long" and instead ride the beat with introspective, contemplative rhymes. It's almost like a more melancholy version of the Roots' "Criminal," which was the last time Saigon and Black Thought collaborated.

I am half-expecting hell to freeze over or something else biblical to happen this Tuesday when Saigon's The Greatest Story Never Told finally comes out. Although, that kind of event might be reserved for whenever Dr. Dre actually drops Detox. You can stream "Too Long" below.
