		<description>THESE PEOPLE WE SEE ENTERTAINING US ARE PEOPLE LIKE US.

THEY PAY BILL LIKE US...THEY WORK LIKE US...THEY TAKE SHOWERS LIKE US...THEY TAKE SHITS LIKE US

BE 4REAL , IF U HAD THE OPPORTUNITY 2 MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WOULDN&#039;T U DO THE SAME AS AKON ?

LIFE DOESN&#039;T REVOLVE AROUND US SO SHOULDN&#039;T FUCKING MATTER IF A MAN LIED BOUT HIS LIFE. 
ANYWAY THAT MANS TALENT SHOULD BE THE FACTOR NOT HIS UPBRINGING. 
I THINK THAT IT IS OUR FAULT AS THE PUBLIC PUTTING THESE SET OF STANDARDS ON PEOPLE LIKE BEING PERFECT IN ANYTHING U DO.
THE REASON WHY THIS MAN LIED IS BECAUSE THE SORT OF ENTERTAINMENT THAT HE IS GETTING IN 2 REQUIRE THIS GANGSTER IMAGINE AND HE WAS SMART ENOUGH 2 KNOW THAT PEOPLE WASN&#039;T GONNA EXCEPT HIM IF HE DIDN&#039;T HAVE IT.

THIS GUY IS A MUSICIAN NOT A CRIMINAL...EVEN IF HE WAS WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THAT ? NOTHING

CURTIS JACKSON ISN&#039;T A DRUG DEALER HE IS A MUSICIAN...THAT GUY MOVED ON WITH HIS LIFE FROM BEING A CRIMINAL AND MADE SOMETHING OUT OF HIMSELF... ANYWAY DO WE KNOW CURTIS 4 BEING A DRUG DEALER OR BEING A RAPPER ? 4 BEING THE RAPPER...


MORAL OF THIS IS THAT DRUG DEALER OR NOT WE ARE ALL PEOPLE LIVING PLANET EARTH... WHAT AKON DID WAS A SURVIVAL TACTIC 2 MAKE LIFE BETTER 4 HIMSELF... 

IF U ASK A NIGGA ON THE STREETS WOULD U LIKE 2 MAKE MUSIC AND GET MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OR WOULD LIKE SELL DRUGS...
U KNOW WHAT THAT NIGGA WOULD SAY MAKE MUSIC...

THESE ENTERTAINERS JUST WANT OUR MONEY...</description>

		<description>Just read the whole article and The Smoking Gun really put Akon on blast. And its well deserved. 

The sad part is entertainers feel the need to make up these bullshit fictional pasts because its what the majority of us consumers eat up. We don&#039;t want to hear about someone growing up with money in the suburbs. We rather hear about a robin hood character that steals, sells weight, packs heat and has been arrested numerous times. 

This is why we have a fucked up music industry and society as a whole.</description>
