Atlantic was NEVER going to release Saigon’s album and they were at a loss as to how to market him and drum up interest in his product. After four years people simply grew tired of waiting and just moved on to the next up and coming artist. “They gave me $18,000 to shoot the video for ‘Pain In My Life’ and I’m seeing Plies get $100,000 and Lupe [Fiasco] get $150,000,” […]

Naomi Campbell dazzled on the red carpet, while Mary J Blige turned heads at the Roberto Cavalli party.
