Song: Akon – Smack That (feat. Eminem)
Lyrics and Transcription: "This is how Akon hacked the music industry and made millions. I was a business man first. The ringtones. Everywhere I go, I would hear songs on people's phones and I say, yo. How much is that that you paying for? They say 4.99$ I said, da*n, that's for like a couple seconds. And we selling singles for 1.99$ for 4 minutes.
Let me find out how much I'm getting. So I call my attorney. I say yo. How much do I make from those ringtones? He said I don't know, it's not in the contract. So then I started making music specifically for the phone, cause it's 4.99$ for a few seconds. Any basic business man, will tell you, that's where the money. So every song that we was releasing was very ringtone friendly, especially Mr. Lonely Bro.
At that time, I was in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most ringtones sold ever. Which rapper is smarter than Akon in business? Comment. Your answer."
