Video: Akon (Kinda) Responds to TSG Report
Akon speaks to MTV about The Smoking Gun’s report discrediting his life story. Sort of. He doesn’t actually deny that the report was accurate. He needs more people.

>>yeah but yeezy spawned yeezy
^Wrong. His whole style is the love-child of a No ID/Pete Rock/Rza menage. Whether direct tutelage or influence from hearin’ records, he took bits and pieces.
>>also em started producing a lot of his own beats after a while. just because dre “discovered†him doesn’t mean dre’s nice
^That’s the difference between a producer and a beatmaker. A producer has the ability to convey the message of an artist by emphasizing his strengths over production, hence make a complete album mesh as a story. Even though I’m a Piddy (c)DPS) hater, he has mastered that trait without ever pickin’ up an MPC. Just look at his body of work: Mary J, Biggie, Jodeci, Ma$e (first album arguable classic), Black Rob (first album flawless), American Gangster album, Carl Thomas, Faith, and the list goes on. What artist has Kanye broken? A beat maker does just that: make beats.
>>otherwise if that’s the logic then dame is the nicest producer ever for discovering yeezy
^Dame never claimed to be a producer. CEO. And he would be more of an A&R than anything.
>>also let’s be clear: mel-man produced most of chronic 2001. not dre. and jigga and em ghostwrote the lyrics dre spat on that album
^And I met the dude named Glove that did “Phone Tapâ€. Your point? Dre never claimed to be a producer-rapper. He only raps for the sport. You can take away 2001 and ‘Ye’s body of work still doesn’t compare to the body of work that Dre has accumlated thus far.
>>so i’m sorry what does dre do again?
^Dre = producer. Kanye = beatmaker
>>oh and scott storch did the keys on still d.r.e.
^See: previous paragraph
lol
>>there was a time where every time i started thinking dre was nice, i realized he barely had a hand in making the song
^Fair opinion. Kanye, still, hasn’t equally matched success.
>>dre is missy elliot-status
he hears a good beat and he makes a few maneuvers to get it to radio
^For one, it’s funny how people think people just take somethin’ to radio and it gets play. If that’s the case, Freeway’s Roc affilition would allow him a retarded amount of BDS stats. Number two, to downplay Missy’s accomplishments is asinine if you know anything about music. She may not be the greatest MC (similar to Dre) but writing is her strength and she has spawned more hits behind the scenes than on wax (also similar to Dre).
>>yeezy has no ghost-producers or ghost-writers
yes toomp/primo/etc. have given him beats/scratches from time to time, but rarely - and when it’s done, yeezy is very obvious about giving credit
^You just contradicted yourself with the last two statements. Of course it can’t be a ghost-producer if he gives the credit, because then it wouldn’t be a ghost-producer (duh). Regardless if he gives credit or not, the point is that he received help. Period.
>>dre is severely overrated, that’s always been my view
^Well maybe you need thicker glasses. Either way, you’re allowed to feel the way you do. But facts > emotions.

on some story shit, check it
… with the cops closing in, and the hammer in the arm rest
whats a nigga supposed to do when facing 10 to 15 years
he recently escaped from the halfway house
cause doing more time was way played out.
9 milli, a 3 time felli, hand guns and mad drugs
member off the bloods.
they yelled pull over and blurted out a slug.
thinking to himself he aint nothing but a thug
one in the air for fair warning.
in the silence of the sirens he heard his death calling.
the punk police surrouned the vehicle
then this drunk poor kid recounted his virtue.

^Yeah, I know I MTA’d him with that one. But in comparison to Dre, or any other producer who has done more than just made beats and lives up to the total embodiment of the producer title, Kanye is beatmaker. A damned good one, but a beatmaker nonetheless. Besides Common’s last album, there hasn’t been any cohesion in his body of work outside of his own albums.

I still disagree. If you’re trying to say Yeezy’s not on Dre’s level or that his body of work can’t stand against Dre’s then just say that. but I think Kanye is a prime example of a producer that does alot more than just make beats.
