Title: Akon Stole A Beat?!?!?!
Post by: XaNdEr on September 26, 2006, 09:10:42 AM
Listen to these 2 songs, one is a dutch one, rapper is called Negativ and he dropped his album january 2006 i believe. I just downloaded the Akon advanced album, and the song with G.A.G.E. on it, got the same beat, so is Akon stealin beats? cuz the dutch one was earlier out, no doubt bout that.

Here's the 2 songs to check out:

Negativ - Je Weet Niet Wie Ik Ben

It's the same beat alright, but the question is, will Akon release it, or is it just one of those "hood remakes" which end up on mixtapes...

The "Be Easy" beat itself is a Westside Story wannabe.

just another case of sampling the same source beat?

Probably.

I remember this one time where somebody came on the forum accusing Nas of stealing Jayo Felony's "Sherm Sticc" beat for "Just A Moment", and then it was explained to him that both of them just sampled the same song...Chic's "Will You Cry".

No.
It's exactly the same beat, with the same sound effects, intro, bass, guitar, piano, and all.

Maybe there is a legit reason for it being on the album.

this beat is produced by giorgio tuinfort, since akon already had a beat produced before by him (akon & styles p - blown away [giorgio tuinfort]) this beat was probably used with his permission..

I dont understand why anybody on a rap message board would act surprised when somebody uses someone else's instrumental.

Just read on the juize.fm that this Giorgio Tuinfort idd produced the beat for Negativ. And Akon used this beat for 'Be Easy'. Now it seems that Giorgio Tuinfort is an associate of Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. And since G.a.g.e is on there, it might be connected through this way.

Akon is cool but I dont think he will ever have the long career Nate Dogg has, Akon is already sounding kind of played out

Straight up lifting an instrumental from a recent track for your own album is not common though.

I'm sure Akon listens to rap from HOLLAND all the time...

It seems like it's the producer who's behind this.

He actually did a track with some pathetic dutch rappers, so he must know something about Dutch hihop....l
