I'm a better rapper than Akon. And so are you.
His "Smack Dat" song (which sounds like "Smack Dat Hat," thanks to a poorly chosen reverb/echo) is one of the worst things I've ever heard.

1. Akon is a singer, not a rapper.

3. No, I'm not.
Akon's range is greater than mine, and his clarity of tone and strong, sustained mid-high notes are his defining feature.

4. Okay. Akon has a voice like a thousand magical nightengales
His song "Smack Dat" (which, thanks to some poorly chosen reverb/echo, sounds like "Smack Dat Hat") is still about the worst thing I've ever heard.

9. His success infuriates me.
His lyrics are so incredibly stupid they give me migraines. And if you're going to brag about the car that you drive, you should know how to pronounce it. He mentions his Ga-lard-o in smack that. I assume he's referring to his Lamborghini Gallardo (ga-yar-do) which is Spanish for gallant.

11. I thought he was talking about his cheese-flavored ice cream
"Wanna jump up in my limburger gelato"

16. His serious lyrics, about the difficulty of finding work after jail and being
Judged by his appearance are more interesting.

10. He's horrible.

That "I wanna love you" song has got to be among the worst ever as well.

12. You know it's really:
"I wanna fuck you" if you buy the cd; right?
Lovely.

15. Too late--I already amended the original question
See above re: 1,000 magical nightengales


:crazy: And you're clearly insane if you think that song is anything other than god awful. :crazy:

14. he's tone never changes, you'd think he'd be a tad more animated when he
he sings "Smack that", it should be "Smack that!"
