    As the op says.

    Akon is underated. His era from 04-09 had multiple great smash hits

    Here is just some of my favourites.

    Underrated would be saying that no one appreciated his music and he wasn't popular which is not true at all. Akon was huge then suddenly disappeared. He was rated

    He's tried to come back several times and he just doesn't make great hooks/music anymore. His first two albums were great. I remember at the time people comparing him to Nate Dogg in terms of greatest hook artists

    He's released (or they were leaked) several singles in the last few years. I remember one about a year ago that was decent but otherwise very forgettable. He hasn't released an album in a decade because the music he's making sucks

    1st single probably sums Akon's career up the last few years unfortunately.

    The only good thing about this song is the reaction it gets when you sing it after inhaling a bit of helium.
