Title: wtf? Akon was on the Fugees "The Score" album at 15?
Post by: Nima - Dubcnn.com on October 17, 2007, 02:53:28 AM

I threw the classic fugees album "the score" back in the deck after a long time today, and I was listening to the "Fu-Gee-La Sly & Robbie Remix" (track 15), and at 04:05, fuckin Akon starts singing! LOL! anybody ever notice that?

wikipedia says he was born 81, which would make him 15 when "The Score" came out in 96.

just thought this was funny, here's the link to the song for those who don't have it:

damn, I didn't even notice that, an that was 96, Akon's been doing his thing for time, at 15 years old, big him up, I heard he use to stay in Jersey as aswell so thats probably the connection, because the fugees had a studio that most of the hood use to come to in the Jersey area you know, back in the day

I remember two threads about this before, but it sure is noteworthy.

I had an interview with Akon one and a half years ago and we touched a little bit on that subject as well...
