Music: Akon

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Co-worker brought him up and dissed him. I completely forgot he existed. This guy was everywhere from '05-'09. Signed Lady Gaga, cashed out, and is now a philantrapist doing work for Africa.

Poll is up.

I think about him a lot actually Akon was that dude. Him and T-Pain sort of shared the spotlight at that time and I liked that. I had heard that he was doing a bunch of charitable work in underprivileged nations, which is pretty lit. Seems like a decent guy.

My fave Akon moment will always be his feature spot in Lonely Island's "I Just Had Sex".

Always liked his style and voice, and Smack That was one of the great club jams when I was in college.

Interesting timing on thread

Akon has come out in support of Bill Cosby and referred to him as Hero. Says people cant say if he did what he is accused and that its tragic what is happening to his image/legacy

I believe the hit song, I Wanna f*** You, was actually written ABOUT Cosby.

Has some of the best post Nate Dogg hooks in music. Few good solo records. Not sure if a comeback would work considering how much hip hop has changed but he had his place for sure.

Smack That ooo-oooooh

Had kinda happily forgotten him, so... I just remember him being one of the pioneers of that annoying "shout-your-name-in-the-intro-to-every-song" trend.

I was actually wondering what had happened to him..
