50 did it successfully
Chamillionaire too.
But in general do you think rappers should try to avoid it?

I just came up with a ill hook while taking a shower and I thought, I don't really have the singing voice for this. Then I started mumbling like a retard a la Future (this is not a Future hate thread btw) and that sh!t sounded a little hotter.

If you were a new rapper (a broke one with no label backing), would you just do the hook yourself, or would you pay someone like Future to sing it and have it reach a further audience?

Its okay sumtimes but only Future can Lsing his heart out" about sum bullshyt and make it sound good:ohlawd:...guess well never get that Nate Dogg,Levitti,Johny P hook singer ever again....and I use to like random chicks singin on hooks too:laugh:.....but overall hiphop is souless now so soul singers are pretty unnescesary....nikkas might as well sing they own hooks

Is it working for French? Didn't someone say that he did a horrible Future impression on the Pusha T joint?
