Why would it be a joke? Just because you happen not to like Akon?

Akon is just another wealthy "musician" who tries to act tough. Another "musician" who focuses more on appearance than the meanings of songs.
How much of his material have you heard such that you can justify that asinine comment?

Quote:
Hell, he's got his bloody shirt off all the time.
He's worked hard day and night to attain his physique. Why should he not put it on display for our admiration?

Quote:
He sounds like all those other generic hip hop/ R 'n' B musicians too.
Which one/s? I cannot think of one who sounds like Akon.

Here is my reply to those who actually DO believe that Akon person is better than Bob Dylan:
It's not a question of whether he's "better" than Dylan. It's a question of who holds more influence in the world due to their contributions to the art world. At the current point in time, I bet a whole lot more people care about what Akon has to say.
