Saigon and Mobb Deep Brawl During Music Showcase in New York City

Pandemonium broke out during a music showcase at club SOB’s in New York City last night (September 19) after an exchange of words between Saigon and Prodigy of Mobb Deep turned physical. Although details are sketchy, a video posted on YouTube this morning clearly shows Saigon and his crew arguing onstage with Mobb Deep and their entourage. Seconds later, a scuffle ensues and Saigon is seen punching Prodigy twice in the face as both crews jump into the mix. Saigitty is later seen running out of the venue with his crew in tow. In an early morning blog posting on his MySpace page, Saigon explains that the altercation stemmed from disparaging comments Prodigy made about him during an interview earlier this year. When Prodigy was asked what he thought of up and coming MCs like Saigon he replied, “I don’t like him [Saigon]. I don’t like nobody really. I’m biased. I only like Mobb Deep shit. Everybody else could suck my dick.” In the blog post, Sai also notes that the reason he ran out of SOB’s after the confrontation was because he felt he lost the upper hand and him and his crew were clearly outnumbered. “I had already rocked Prodigy, it was time to dip up outta there,” Sai wrote. “Shout out to Big Chris for the human shield technique, he said, ‘You got em, lets go,’ and we went.”
