plime.com : Akon's Con Job

Turns out Akon lied about a lot of prison time to make himself seem hard and help sell records. I wonder who else is lying about their hard knock life before becoming rappers. picked by coldbladed 5 months ago

This totally reminds me of that TBP episode where J-Roc pulls out a gun and swears at the cop so that he gets photos of him being arrested and thrown in jail so that he looks tough...

Yeah, anyone w/o access to Canadian TV might not get this, but that's okay!

I hate Akon. Everytime I mention that I'm a Bone Thugs N Harmony fan people usually say somethine lke "Oh you mean thos guys who sang the I Tried song with Akon?". Loser BTNH had a career before Akon.

Ah I remember Bone Thugs. They blew up so big when they made Crossroads and the following albums were kindda meh. But they were still legendary in that time.

I would hardly label Akon as a rapper. But whatever, mainstream hip hop is garbage anyway.

« Killerbean : I would hardly label Akon as a rapper. But whatever, mainstream hip hop is garbage anyway.

I guess I used the term rapper because most RnB artists (as far as I know) don't need that thug life image. My experience has been that its mostly the rapper type that try to make sure people know about their rap sheet, to give the street cred, ya 'erd?

Yeah, I got you. Which goes to show you how f**ked up the whole music industry is; The "artist's" image is more important than the music itself.
