I hope that 20 years from now when people read the about the cultural landscape of 2007 people will read about how our whole generation was defined my the music of Akon’s Smack That and also Brittany spears

The sad thing is, that's probably largely what they will be reading.

I personally agree that Akon is a living legend. His Album Konvicted was one of my best for 2007 and overall he is able to sing with different people from eminem to 50 cent to wyclef to T-pain and all the talented artists of today. People that say he is not talented well all I can say is that you dont have ears for quality music.

Yeah, you just called 50 Cent talented thus proving you have no idea what talented actually is.

And a tip Richard, when trying to prove something like this, use a more reliable source than wikipedia.

The only thing taken from wikipedia was his full name (hence the reference at that particular part). But hey, if you have any better suggestions for where to get first, middle and last name details from, I'm all open for them. Not that onomastics makes a world of difference to what I was actually getting across.

The first time I heard it, I genuinely thought it was a remake of a classic Marley song. Boy, was I disappointed, not that Akon would do it justice.

Also, speaking of copycats, has anyone heard that new song by Sean Kingston that sounds so much like that Zeppelin song
Zeppelin-'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, you don't have to go'
Kingston-'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, why'd you have to go, away from blah something'
What?

This only goes to put a spotlight on the wide range of influences Akon has.

I can infer from this statement that your thread is a hoax, no?

Oh yeah, and Smack That is not a modern day Stairway to Heaven
