10s Future vs 00s Akon

[JustCKing]

Make case for Akon by posting 3 features brehs, two of which are Black Rob and Dj Khaled+7 dudes .

Show me his projects, solo songs and on.
Look at that top 5 future thread, cats had 100 different top 5's. People can only name about 5 Akon songs of the top.

Someone already posted Akon's solo songs. That Future thread is irrelevant because we don't have one for Akon. Akon's solo songs and features are still bigger and more significant than anything Future has put out.

Akon all day

 

[ManBearPig]

The answer is Future

They are also bigger and more significant commercially than Illmatic, the fukk does that mean, I'm not getting a cut of that check.
Flowrider has bigger songs than Killer Mike, so he is better

I mentioned 3-4 songs, and the rest of you mentioned about 3 additional songs.

If we compared discographies, and mind you I was a fan of his 3 years of heat.

Monster
Astronaut Status
Konvicted
Pluto
Honest
Trouble
Dirty Sprite
Beast Mode
Freedom

That's how I would rank them, probably the reviewers as well.

Nothing that Akon put out is more significant than Illmatic. By significant and bigger I wasn't talking about commercial success. Take "Soul Survivor" for instance, that song helped establish Young Jeezy. "We Taking Over" is one of the best posse cuts of that era. Then you have Akon's solo efforts. These weren't some come and go projects that he just put out and people were on to the next after they dropped. Akon also helped Bone come back in '07. One of the few legitimate club bangers in Eminem's catalog is his feature on Akon's "Smack That".

Akon ain't really a rapper compared to Future.
Akon is more in the same category as nate dogg and Nate>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm not a single person, I don't listen to radio.
I listen to albums, I don't know about you new era dudes but I listen to albums and Akon's discography is not fukking with it.
Smack is wack, I Tried was pretty nice radio music, Soul Survivor classic song good feature, We taking over would've been better without a pop hook straight up posse cut.

From his solo efforts I can only rank Lonely, Locked up, Tired of running, Ghetto, Mama Africa as very dope joints. Then he had few other nice lil joints I can't wait, Blown away, Gringo, The rain, Trouble nobody and pop joints like Don't matter. I'm not even gonna get into the amount of bs he's made either.

It's not enough though and really I don't even know why we are comparing them, he's rapped like twice that would be on Shake Down and Gangsta Bop. He's a singer with few love songs, Nate Dogg is like the only dude that I could compare him to.


As far as significance goes, Future has had a major impact on the game. All the way from up in the East Coast with cats like Fetty Wap to Drake to everyone coming out of Atlanta.

[ECA]

None of Akon's shyt holds up in 2015

 

[#1 pick]

Akon better but future's hooks might be ATG. Him and Nate Dogg on another level

I'm not a new era dude. I listen to albums too, but neither Akon or Future are artists that I've listened to regularly.

Akon's impact >>>>> Future's.
