Plies' says no beef about being taken out of Akon track

by reign on August 7th, 2007

Picture this…...you’ve got one of the hottest tracks on the streets with Akon and then….you’re ousted and replaced by Snoop. Sounds like Plies’ situation. His song “I Wanna Love You”, produced by and featuring Akon, never hit the mainstream…with him on it at least. By now, everyone’s heard the Akon and Snoop Dogg version of the same song that actually landed on the charts.

Akon explained in interviews that there was some miscommunication between him and Plies in regards to who held the rights to the track.

Maintaining persistence, Plies was able to stay on a forward path and rebounded with the next-best producer after Akon. T-Pain helmed the Fort Myers rapper’s breakout hit “Shawty” from his debut, The Real Testament, which is due Tuesday (August 7) on Slip-N-Slide/ Atlantic Records.

“I think a lot of times when good things happen in your life,” Plies told MTV News recently, “that’s the only thing that people like to acknowledge. ... And I beg to differ. I think a lot of times some of the bad things that happen in your life are hidden blessings as well. For that particular situation with Akon, out of respect to the situation, I never try to talk about issues that all parties aren’t currently here to talk about with me. ...

In no way is there a problem amongst me and another party. (Akon and I) had the luxury of collaborating on my album. It’s a real, real big record called ‘Hypnotized’. That ‘I Wanna Love You’ record was a big record for him, and I take my hat off to him and Snoop and congratulate them.”

According to Plies, the new Akon collabo is set to be his next single, which they’re scheduled to shoot a video for shortly.

“We chopping it up right now,” he said.

AND….

Something else that is similar to this is Plies’ single “Shawty” was originally for Webbie feat. T-Pain but Webbie didn’t have his bread right at the time or something on that nature and Plies picked up the song.

The Webbie version is also all over the internet as an underground track…. but just to let you know, its not a mixtape track, it was originally for Webbie.

I dont really care, its just knowledge

Webbies version of Shawty is way better. Hyponotized is a hot song, about the only good one on The Real Testament. Plies need to step up.

I live in Orlando right now and everybody from the MI YAYO tells me that this guy is fake as hell. I’ve heard plenty stories about this guy taking his brother’s identity and using it to gain street credibility. That’s one of the most fake things someone can do. I don’t respect this cat cuz first and foremost he can’t rap.
SO WHY THE FUCK IS HE DROPPING ALBUMS N SHIT ??? NI99AZ got the game fukked up. And Like acemobsoldier said before me, Plies will be washed up and disappear within a year. Real rap is on its way back to the top. If you didn’t know Common’s album was #1 in the country this week. Those crack rappers aint sell shit like always. Except for T.I acting ass. This skinny bitch more focused on oscars and film companies than making good music. Notice I said GOOD music not HOOD music. Ni99az tired of living in the hood. That’s why I took my black ass to college.

Plies cant rap to save a nation. The him and t pain was in was hot only because of t pain chorus and the beat. Plies lyrics r 2 raw for a song that is made to make your gurl fill good. THis dude talkin bout takin pipe and cummin. T pain should have put a rapper that been in the game to rap that part.

You have to be fuckin nuts. I love Snoop but the version with him spoiled the damn song. Asked the DJ’s when they played that shit in da club what everybody ran to DJ booth and said " Play the version with Plies on it!" Because it was that real shit. MixedMiami19 you are a Certified HATER and you need a day job quick, fast, and hurry. Look in the mirror thats prolly lol why you are mad.
