Akon Wants Credit For Kanye's Album
Akon is pulling a T-Pain by claiming that he deserves credit for the success of rapper Kanye West’s “808 And Heartbreaks”
Follow up:
Rapper Akon is taking credit for the success of Kanye West’s newest album “808 And Heartbreaks”. He is convinced that he paved the way for the rapper to try out melodic vocals.
West opted for a new sound on his latest record using Auto-Tune software to sing on the tracks instead of rapping. Akon is taking credit for the movement, insisting he and fellow rapper T-Pain were the first hip-hop stars to sing instead of just spitting rhymes.
He tells MTV, “I embrace the fact that they’re doing it (rappers are singing). Music changes every year. I’m just happy (about) the fact that people are jumping on what we’re already doing. I look at it like a tribute to what we’re already doing, and I look at it like a compliment, really.
“I say ‘you’re welcome’ every time I hear (rappers singing). A melody has a way of describing (words), ’cause of the emotions that come with melody. Melody brings it out better than a bland vocal. It’s easier to relate.”

The gobetween wears out a thousand sandals.
Snuff at a wake is fine if theres nobody sneezing over the snuff box.
Opportunity never knocks twice at any man’s door.
Where there’s a will there’s a way.
When men speak of the future the Gods laugh.
