Album: Trouble
Artist(s): Akon
Official Drop Date: June 29, 2004
Blades: 6.5
Review: Akon’s debut album, “Trouble,” was worth listening to. Despite his troubled career and throwing paying fans off the stage, he’s pimped the industry. He teamed up and sampled the Fiesta Riddim on “Gunshot.” Akon talked about his love for fights; maybe that’s why his nickname is Konvicted – always in trouble. Possible prison anthem. He seems to believe that his “singing” is required, but it really is not. His type of rhyming is interesting but I’m struggling each time he begins to sing.
The usual stripper dedication songs reside on this album as they would on most rap/hip hop projects. “Yey” sounded country so the Durty South must have had its paws all over this track. Not my fav but not the worst Southern rap I’ve heard to date.
He dedicated a tune to the west side of Senegal (they claim “blocks” there too I suppose) and gave us some insight on where he’s from. Perhaps he regards his hometown as “the hood” and “the ghetto” because Negros in similar situations in America would relate better. “Keep On Callin,” “Senegal,” and “Kill the Dance,” which spoke to my Caribbean spirit, were the stand out tracks to listen for. 6.5 blades for Akon’s debut project.

Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
