Rapper Akon?s brushes with the law splattered quite a huge influence on how his albums turned out. The rapper?s life in and out of the penitentiary and how it changed him is evidently placed on his lyrics.
Cross that line akon sophomore album Konvicted, scheduled to be released November 14, 2006, conveys the artist?s change of attitude towards the law apparently delivered by the track ?Tired of Runnin.?
After being in jail, he describes what a bad place prison is, contrary to the idea that prison makes you tough, an idea popularized by rappers.

Akon I want to love you is the second single by Akon from his forthcoming album Konvicted. Akon I wanna love you features Snoop Dogg. The song was originally called "I Wanna Fuck U" but was edited out due to vulgar language.
I want to love you akon was supposed to feature an upcoming rapper from Florida, Plies, his verse was replaced by Snoop's after Plies was arrested for illegal gun possession in a shooting incident during a concert at 238 West Nightclub in Gainsville, Florida.
Although out on bail, Plies was totally taken out from the akon i wanna love you track since the version with akon and snoopdog already circulated the mixtape scene.
Akon and Snoopdog management also agreed to participate on each other's forthcoming album.
While most rap/urban songs that feature sex and a female are typically displayed as "hook ups" or "one night stands", Akon I want to love you is somewhat different than traditional rap songs. I wanna akon is singing the serious side of the song and how the song's character is strongly in love with this one girl, whereas Snoop takes on the sexual and explicit side of the song.
The song?s name change followed when the song?s topic hit a snag. Although the lyrics and the overall topic stay the same, it has been slightly altered to suit a younger audience.
On the other hand, the first single smack that+ akon features Eminem.
Smack that+ akon music video presents Akon as a convict in prison who is let out of jail by a police officer who is looking for a witness.
Akon is let out for 24 hours to do anything he pleases as long as he can find the female witness. He is given a photo of her and follows a lead he was given that the witness is in a nightclub. While in the club, he meets up with fellow rapper and friend Eminem.
Smack that+ akon is the first video that features Eminem with new tattoo 'PROOF' on his left arm, which is dedicated to his fallen friend, DeShaun Dupree Holton.
The single debuted at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 28 2006. The song set a record in its second week, jumping 88 positions to number seven. Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson appears in the video.
