Never Took The Time has some rock flavor and easily can make for a smart single choice. With the production so slick, makes listening easy to get into. Akon has proved to be a well-developed producer, as he mixes and makes most of his beats himself. It's more than twelve tracks of Smack That's which was what I had expected. Akon's voice feels more comfortable in a relaxed reggae like atmosphere. The heavier half of the album relies on ballads. Pole grinding lyrics seem to be more like an 'I'm In Luv With A Stripper' all over again.Р”В«ut here comes the bright side. I Wanna *** You is more affected on the radio cut, which the word is substituted for 'love.РІР‚Сњ Snoop instantly adds pimp to the song, but the lyrics take away from what could have been a decent track. Sure the point gets across in nearly every song the work 'konvict' gets thrown around. I have no idea why, but the 'N' word doesnРІР‚в„ўt sound right from Akon. Gangsta Bop wants to stunt, letting the listeners know he had a Konvicted past.

Degrading lyrics and a half-assed appearance from Eminem makes good for a single, but lacks any real substance. I instantly grew hatred toward it when pop radio gobbled it up.

Smack That has to be the worst song on Konvicted. Most of the up beat tracks just donРІР‚в„ўt suit his sweet African flavored vocals. Konvicted is obviously a more thought out and solid release from Akon.Р”Р‡rom my personal stand point, Akon is at his best when he is singing ballads. Konvicted (nice play on his name btw) is his star-making sophomoric follow up to Trouble that features the hit Lonely. Soothing rhythmic beats for the most part lend a helping hand. With a voice so high that it can sometimes be soothing, he tags along by using artist like Eminem and Snoop Dogg to guide his way to pop superstardom. Kelly wannabe with a shiny face, throwing an African flavor to today's R&B scene. I'm sure many of you have a few of those friends that claim that 'this *** is their song' on a 3-month rotation, then forgets it had existed. Those typical pop thumpers tend to annoy you with their popular burn mix on every car ride. Thus proving my point that it's more of a trend than music.

Simply because they use the same seven or eight songs repeatedly so some people would be forced to get into it, furthering the mind numbing up comers of today's America. They try to capture what young listeners might be into, yet comes off as shoving it down their throat with an airplane baby spoon. These hit singles which were all top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 also kept the album in the top 20 of the Billboard 200 for 28 consecutive weeks.Review Summary: Pop radio never sounded so better.
