    Shuggie's far more likely to get paid off this than the Brothers Johnson. He wrote the damn song, after all. Doesn't matter whose version you sample; if the writer doesn't approve it, you don't have a game.

    I have to admit, I'm not much interested in anything Akon does nowadays. He's got about two, maybe three licks and a couple of variations on those, and I've heard 'em more than enough times.

    23

    Nah man, 23 was just all blah blah laughing playgrounds blah blah purple showers and orange birds blah blah. Now, 22, that was when Shuggie really got deep.

    It's probably not even worth the time it takes to write this to say that Akon song is appalling and seems to be aimed at a non existent audience.
