Who was bigger in the late 2000s --- Akon or T-Pain?

[2CT]

these two dudes had the fukkin radio on smash there was a time when if you saw a feat from either one you know the song would be a problem

now that it's been almost 10 years, who y'all think was bigger?

My a$$hole

 

[BK The Great]

Akon, hands down. i still listen to some his tunes from time to time.

 

[JustCKing]

They were about even, with maybe Akon getting the edge until around late '07/early '08. From '08 forward, it was T-Pain.

T-Pain ran 2007 and 2008 to me, Akon was on some mainstream shyt but T-Pain was featured on all the big street bangers

i graduated HS that year, man those was some good times

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

I remember T-Pain having bigger hits in the hood. Perhaps overall, Akon was the bigger name tho. Akon definitely had the most timeless hit outta the both of them to me with Locked Up.

 

[Chip Skylark]

You have to understand. Akon was internationally known. So he gets it hands down.

 

[Jean Jacket]

T-Pain... Dude spawned a rebirth of autotune.

Akon is the African Nate Dog Mark Morrison.

Yeah, but Kon had his share of big street bangers too. To me, "I'm So Hood" is when T-Pain really stepped out in front where Akon was stepping too far mainstream.

 

[Shadow King]

Akon but it's very close

 

[Qwelz]

Akon if only because T-pain is signed to him. T-pain's success is Akon's success

 

[The Fire]

T Pain had the streets. Akon was more pop oriented. Similar positions of influence with different audiences

 

[Animal House]

more popular is akon


i dont care how many hood classics pain had, akon was international


nikkas be voting with their hearts too much
