Customer Reviews
AKON REFUGEE CAMP
AKON HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IF YOU TRIED HARD TO LISTEN CAREFULLY ON THE INFFAMOUS FUGEES (FUGEE LA ROB & SLY REMIX) YOU CAN FIND AKON VOICE SAYING 100 MC'S WILL BE MURDERING & SO HE WAS PART OF THE REFUGEE CAMP AS WELL AND NOW IT ALL ADDS UP WHO REALLY AKON IS AND HOW HE HAS THAT R&B & RAP CATCH WITHOUT KILLING IT HE IS OVERALL ONE OF MY FAVORITE R&B SINGERS OUT HERE CANT NOBODY MESS WITH AKON!!!
Classic Debut
Akon is something fresh and new. He presents a rare moment of originality in today's music industry. If you love hip-hop or R&B you'll love Akon. He blends the two genres perfectly. His style is very refreshing and rare. His R&B style is not laced with romantic croons, instead he sings about harsh realities and his own life struggles. I believe Akon is one of the best R&B singers of all time. I know that is a powerful statement, however, the first time I listened to him I could not stop yearning for more from him. I had to buy the album almost immiedeatly. It's a classic from the beginning to the end. You will not be disappointed in purchasing the album. "Locked Up" and "Lonely" are the standout tracks, yet Akon delivers several more songs that will have you wishing he would have came out with a double album his first time out. Akon is a debut legend. Enought said.
Trouble -Akon
Love it! Look forward to much more from this very talented artist!
Something different is something great
After hearing Akon lament about his troubled past on `Locked Up' I rushed out to purchase the CD in it's entity, for judging on the strength of that one song I knew I'd be in for a treat, and what a treat it was. Sticking to his roots Akon delivers a unique musical experience that stands out from the crowd as different and all his own.
With slow tempo tracks like `Trouble Nobody' about rehabilitation and the difficulty in picking up the pieces after committing a felony and `Lonely' about the sore feeling of losing the ones you care about, Akon easily cements himself as one of the most thoughtful and almost poetic artists to emerge on the scene in a while. He still gives us club tracks to grind to like the ever popular `Bananza' which is like my wife's favorite song, as well as `When the Times Right' which is my favorite track here.
All around, this is an album to please any fan of hip-hop and R&B. Coupled with impressive beats, an intriguing story and Akon's one of a kind voice and sound `Trouble' is one of the better albums to come out in a long time.
Um...
You know, I first heard this album awhile ago, but after listening to it all the way through, I decided it was only okay. My least favorite song in Bananza. The reason is because it makes belly dancers all look like a bunch of strippers and sluts, which we're not. That song is very disrespectful. The rest are so-so, nothing great, nothing horrible. I recommend this to some people, who listen to whatever they can get their hands on, but if you want amazing music hip-hop or anything, this isn't it.
