And Nate hasn't done any Pop tracks? I Like That with Houston and Chingy. That joint with Mariah and Damizza. Another joint he had with Mariah. etc. I mean, if we talking Pop, Nate is just as guilty. So, as much of a Pop fan as I am, I guess you are too. Sorry Pop Fan!*waits for NIK to say he doesn't like those songs or that there's a difference*
LOL @ Him being on teeny mags. You got these mags as proof? I personally don't read em, but you must have. Find some scans. Out of his 4 or 5 singles, he only had one that was truely aimed at the commercial masses and that was "Lonely." That song was your typical R&B track, but whatever. I've NEVER seen a Pop act with so many songs that talk about all the street shit this dudes talks about. When did ONE song make you a Pop artist? LOL.A song like "If We" with Mariah and Ja is just as Pop, difference is it wasn't a single. But, it's JUST as Pop as say "Lonely."
You didn't even answer the question. You must not be able to. You have no proof of him being in this teen mags. You can't respond to how does having one song make an arist pop.Akon writes and produces his own shit... now I'm not saying he's as good as MC or Prince, but he deserves credit for that. How about a song like I Like That with Houston and Chingy. Just as pop, if not more.If Akon is so irrelevant why are you taking time to try and prove so? If he wasn't shit like you claim everyone would see it and agree with you. That's not the case. You feel that way and that's all good. But not many others feel that way.
Well the fact he is from Senegal kind of dis-proves his east coast status .........

Obviously, he may never have the legacy that Nate Dogg has established, but we can't blame Akon, because Nate Dogg came out in the West Coast Golden Age and he started out on the ground floor of Death Row Records. Akon is trying to make a name for himself working with artists that aren't 1/10th as dope as the artists Nate Dogg came up with.
jake how come you keep fallin back on lonely being poppy but wont speak on the songs sgv mentioned. And you talk about bumpin akon songs when where 38 years old. I can see myself listening to the song ghetto when im 38. That song can go toe to toe with any nate solo track.
Because he only has that one song to use to as "proof" that Akon is pop. LOL. Last time I heard, Backstreet Boys and NSync weren't talking about drug slangs or anything of that matter. Jake is just an uninformed person, trying act as authority. A track like Ghetto is pretty timeless, so yes I can see myself bumping Akon when I'm 38. LMAO @ You seeing Nate Dogg making "I Like That" more credible. Only Jake...
nothing akon has released has had any sort of relvent impact on music
