This is a great album by the talented African (Senegalese-American) musician, Akon.This is his third studio album.My most favourite song from this album "Freedom" is "Be With You",other favourites include "Freedom" (title track),"Right Now(Na Na Na)" & "I'm So Paid".Singles (as well as the accompanying videos)"Right Now (Na Na Na)" & "I'm So Paid" have done so well on radio & MTV,establishing Akon as a musician of note & propeling him from hip-hop into mainstream pop scene.His videos are quite exciting & well as entertaining, recommended listening from this talented Senegalese-American musician.

akon cds have always sucked do yourself a favor do not buy it put that money to something else.

Akon Is Way Better Then This. Albums Ok But Akons First Two Albums Were Better. Album Cover: 10/10. Album Artwork: 6/10. Songs: 7/10. He's Starting to Sound Like All The Pop Crap On The Radio.

I had never bought an "Akon" cd before. I have always liked his music and just burnt cd's of my own on the computer. I decided to buy this cd instead of boggin my computer down with downloads. I am so glad I bought this album! I LOVE every song on here! I listen to it ALL the time. Great job Akon!

I am still smiling later because of the wonderful business I received. I will most certainly be doing business with this company again. This cd didn't have any scratches. I am so happy.

please dont buy complete albums anymore people have u ever seen the show cribs on mtv these people are rolling in dough with bling please dont support them just buy individual singles instead of the whole album

This album is a near classic. It only missed it by a few songs. Akon has always had talent. Thats why i am so happy with this album, because his first album was terrible and i thought it served him no justice. All the song were produced terribly and the songs themselves were just garbage. But aftere hearing "I Wanna Love U" on the radio and i was instantly addicted to its sexy but ghetto feel. So when Konvicted dropped i ran and got during my lunch break and listened to it on the drive back. And i honestly liked just about every song. The only songs i really skipped over were "Never Took The Time" and "Once in A WHile". Other than those to tracks everything else was good. My favorite song is probably either "I Can't Wait" which is just a mid tempo love song with a nice vibe to it, or "Mama Africa" because this song is the perfect song for vacationing, it has a jamaican feel to it and Akon is just on point with his lyrics. But the best thing about this album is the production is so much better. Akon is definetly here to stay after this album. Because this was the album that he reached out to a more diverse crowd. Here is the best way to describe how truly good this album is, i believe that if America were to have a time capsule right now, i think that Akon's album would be an option to put in there because he is just such a loud voice and his music really moves people and there will never be another Akon. Overall the album is great but still not perfect. Grade: B+

I think this CD was pretty good. I bought it for my son. The language is quite graphic so if you are in the least bit squeemish over vulgarity go with the censured version. Akon's voice is in a class by itself and the music is good and the story lines to the songs are excellent. The rain is my favorite.

1. Shake Down Boring, boring, boring. 2. Blown Away Stupid and childish. Take your pick. 3. Smack That This is one of the worst "R&B" pieces of talentless crap if I ever heard it!! 4. I Wanna Love You Listen-able. 5. The Rain *yawn*... 6. Never Took The Time No one cares... 7. Mama Africa Are you serious?! 8. I Can't Wait ......... 9. Gangsta Bop Stupid. 10. Tired Of Runnin' Again, who cares??! 11. Once In A While ....*yawn* 12. Don't Matter This is another solid song. It could even be a gay's anthem since it repeatedly states, "Nobody wants to see us together...but it don't matter, no..." 2 good songs isn't worth a purchase in my opinion. And what happened to all of the reviews for this CD?! There were quite a few last time I checked! Ah well. I'll spread the news on how bad Akon and his voice sucks as often as I can. 1.5 stars.

I like rap music................old school that is. Given, I do still like NWA, Tupac.....but today all this rap is starting to sound like the whole cliche....I got this. I f**ked her......I got these rims on my car/truck. Rap use to not be like that. This album totally sucks......Akon can't sing....at all. I think along with him and R-Kelly both should be locked inside the closet together. The song that totally pisses me off the most is the last track: "Doesn't Matter". Quit your whining, dude. This sounds like rap/emo. Want some real rap? Stick with Common, Mos Def, Tupac (RIP), or Ice Cube.
