I just got this off of WinMX. I read about it in Entertainment Weekly as a possible hit for summer and I like it. Its just Akon on the track and hes a singer. And it's produced by Timbaland.

I think this is going to be the next single but there are no add dates. I love the Timbaland beat

I still haven't heard it, but it sounds good
I just saw the "Locked Up" video on BET about 20 minutes ago. I still like that song.

Thanks
The beat is pretty hot...
his voice is kind of weird, the uptempo track emphasizes it more than "Locked Up", but I guess it works. It's catchy and if it gets exposure I could see it making some noise since it's summer.
Is there any word on an adds date or something?

Akon filmed his video for "Locked Up," two doors down the street from my house. :o I saw them when they were filming it. In fact, the laundromat that was in the video is where I go and wash my clothes. |

There's something missing in this song. And let's face it: Timbaland already had better days. So I see why he wants to retire soon (yeah, I know, they all say the same thing!...  ). |

Perfect timing for Akon. I knew this was gonna be next. He had to hit it hard for the summer. This is not produced by Timbaland btw. I know that was stated a while ago. Akon produced this himself.

I think Ghetto is a great song and they shouldn't regret releasing it. Deep and meaningful songs don't always become hits but it did what it had to do. Show how people had it and I respect him for that.
Having said that I hope this song becomes a hit.

Holy crap, this SUCKS. Competitor for worst song of the year. Power 96 in MIA is spinning this 30x a week, which is 6 less spins than it has at the Rhythmic format. But of course, it hasn't gone for adds yet. Once it does, it'll do decent, unfortunately.
