Songs You Should Know - Smack Dat - Akon



Okay, if you listen to your local "#1 Source of Hip- Hop and R and B" this song has already been played out on their intentional teeny tiny play lists. So yeah even though it's played out, I still hear it everyday at drive time. First of all, the song isn't really that good. It has maybe thirty different words in the entire song. Eminem's little cameo has nothing to really do with the song, and could have been throwaway lyrics he had laying around. So yeah, it's just formulaic crap accentuated by the "Kick it like Tai Bo" line which, sorry, 1998 called and it wants that line back.

So why is this here? The video...it tries to recreate 48 Hours...real good...good and terrible! The sad thing is if someone were to remake 48 Hours, it wouldn't look too much different than this video. BTW Hollywood, please don't remake 48 Hours, no matter how great you think Nick Cannon would roll as Eddie Murphy's Reggie Hammond. Anyway, enjoy the train wreck.
