F*ck Akon

[Mista Rosa]

Akon disrespected Nate. Since it happened in 08 Nate was in a condition where he couldn't regulate Akon's b*tch ass. And damn, T-pain being the greatest hook master of all time because he "can add a lot of color to someone's record".

From XXL http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=30750


Akon is one of three crooners to have held hip-hop's hook man crown since R&B hooks became the norm in the 90s.

Nate Dogg, Kon and his protege T-Pain, have all taken turns as the hook man du jour -seemingly establishing a monopoly on rap hooks during their respectives reigns. While Nate, the senior of the group has been hooking rappers up for 16 years, Kon thinks he's no match for what he and Pain have been doing the past few years.

"I mean it depends on what you consider to be a hook man," Kon told XXLMag.com. "Nate, I don't think he's any competition to what we're doing right now. The West Coast, which was incredibly hot, there wasn't nobody touching Nate Dogg at that time. I was around at that time. It wasn't no getting through them doors.

"Nate had it locked down," Kon continued. "But I think as time started changing, I slowly took over because I came with more than just a hook. I came and gave you the song itself. When you came to Akon for a record, you'll get the record, you'll the track, you'll get the song and the concept for it."

But when it comes down to best hook man off all time, Kon gives it up to his own signee, T-Pain.

"If I had to give it personally to anybody, I would give it to T-Pain," Kon revealed. "I always looked at him as someone that can add a lot of color to someone's record. I do it a lot of different ways, but I'm always thinking business when I'm doing it. Pain is doing it for the fun of it. I strategize differently. I do it according to what territories I need to take over. Pain does it just cause he loves to do it." -Marvin Brandon

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck T-Pain. Even Akon is played out by now. These fools couldn't hold Nate Dogg's jock strap on their best days.

[Desert Lord]

must be a bad joke...
"i slowly took over..." shit, you slowly took over, because the king of hooks can't sing right now because of his health...fuck you, akon...cocain's a hell of a drug

I love it how Akon acknowledging his own and his labelmates success turns into a Nate Dogg diss.
Stan's are corny

I think this just XXLMag's way of hyping up a bullshit beef that neither party wants a part of.
I'm pretty sure that even Akon know's that T-Pain isn't shit without autotune, but since they're the go to guy at the moment everyone wants to compare them to someone who was previously in their shoes. Kinda like how people compare Kanye West to Quincey Jones. Akon was probably high or thinking high of himself (dude just made a fortune off Lady Gaga after all) when he said that.

but this was posted a few years ago already, let's not start this over

[Portugoal]

Akon and T-Pain sell hook/production packages. That's something Nate Dogg never did.
