So... I'm gonna admit it right now:

I.
Actually.
Like.
This.

And now that that's out of the way...

Akon is well-timed, not a bad singer, has a cool tone to his voice, knows who to make friends with, and is strangely witty. Believe me, I'm as surprised as you are, but it's true. I've got a bop to the head, I wanna dance (and maybe even stop frontin'), and I actually want to hear this CD again.

Oh, and I'm a sucker for Snoop, so it's always a plus if you've got the D-O-Double G on your album!

Akon's got a pretty solid career for himself, I'm willing to bet, and deservedly so. He's good at what he does, and I can understand the huge wave of popularity. It's catchy, it's fun, it's not too-too in your face with the womanizing/misogynistic/glam stuff.

Well.. maybe it is pretty in your face with it. Snoop and Akon sing about "winding and grinding" and have a delightful video of beautiful women stradling chairs in pantyhose. At least they're curvy, though!

And.. what does "you know my pedigree" mean? Good God, do girls think like dog breeders? D-O-Double G breeders? Please someone let me know!
