Everything pre-Gaga (which you can't even hate on because he's just sitting back and watching money pile in now) was some of the illest shyt ever dropped in the 2000's.
This dude was on so many unbelievable tracks and stole so many of them. Yeah he might have been a studio artist, and a studio criminal but no one ever really considered him a threat anyway so the music is all that counted. Oh yeah, and he's the 2nd biggest hip hop artist in the world after Eminem. The likes of Hov and 50 might be bigger in most places, but Akon's more renowned in terms of number of countries.
Everyone knows his big tracks, but what made him so good were his features which made obscure tracks playable.
