Akon's LIVE Show & American Pop Culture
Okay so something slightly crazy happened during the Akon Live show I went to here in Kuala Lumpur. Akon selected 5 lucky girls and 2 guys to join him up on stage. After that 2 of the 5 girls had a priceless “heated” moment with Akon himself and his DJ, Benny D. Some genius captured it using a camera phone and uploaded it on Youtube. Imagine if that was your sister or your girlfriend. LOL. In this other clip, the crowd joins him in singing his new smash hit “I Wanna Love You” except that the crowd instead chooses to follow by singing the uncensored version called “I Wanna F*ck You”. Akon is cool and damn creative right? Yaaaaaay to Akon and the overall current state of commercial hip hop music! 
… If you ask me, I would still choose Tiesto’s rave over Akon. The Tiesto party I went for last year was truly mad. I still can’t forget it!
Previously, I posted something about American pop culture and how in my opinion I believe it to be one of America’s strongest assets. I still firmly believe that. Even if America stopped invading other countries with its military, America’s “other invasion” would still continue. Moreover this “other invasion” isn’t forced but rather invited by the “invaded”.

Unconsciously. We never understand the consequences until we start suffering from it.
well dont know if u can call it american culture cause AKON is originaly from senegal,africa.a place where qualities like family values,ethics,etc are respected.

Arun, it doesn’t matter much where he’s from. It’s hip hop music and hip hop culture in the end… part of American pop culture.
It wasn’t really pop culture until now. It used to be merely a sub-culture which never made it to the mainstream. It was considered an alternative to the white man’s “disco.” Same thing happened with the graffiti – became a form of literacy amongst youth in inner-cities.
I like it regardless of its stems, especially if it’s political. Hipster should be the first hip hop artist to launch a career from the UAE.
